Lenin and Stalin Turned a Backward – Feudalistic Country into a Modern State!
If the text written by Karl Marx – entitled ‘On the Jewish Question‘ – is read and understood properly – it describes clearly how the Judeo-Christian religion (and Bourgeois State) generates the Revolutionary conditions for society to transition into a ‘Secular’ (Socialist) State! Of course, the far-right (and the Bourgeois State) attempt to demonise such texts – falsely claiming that Marx is being ‘anti-Semitic’ – when in fact he is assessing two independent articles penned NOT by him – but by ‘Bruno Brauer’ (a prominent ‘Young Hegelian’). Marx writes:
‘The so-called Christian state is the Christian negation of the state, but by no means the political realization of Christianity. The state which still professes Christianity in the form of religion, does not yet profess it in the form appropriate to the state, for it still has a religious attitude towards religion – that is to say, it is not the true implementation of the human basis of religion, because it still relies on the unreal, imaginary form of this human core. The so-called Christian state is the imperfect state, and the Christian religion is regarded by it as the supplementation and sanctification of its imperfection. For the Christian state, therefore, religion necessarily becomes a means; hence, it is a hypocritical state. It makes a great difference whether the complete state, because of the defect inherent in the general nature of the state, counts religion among its presuppositions, or whether the incomplete state, because of the defect inherent in its particular existence as a defective state, declares that religion is its basis. In the latter case, religion becomes imperfect politics. In the former case, the imperfection even of consummate politics becomes evident in religion. The so-called Christian state needs the Christian religion in order to complete itself as a state. The democratic state, the real state, does not need religion for its political completion. On the contrary, it can disregard religion because in it the human basis of religion is realized in a secular manner. The so-called Christian state, on the other hand, has a political attitude to religion and a religious attitude to politics. By degrading the forms of the state to mere semblance, it equally degrades religion to mere semblance.’
