American Socialism has been fully embraced by Joe Biden and the democratic party. Bernie Sanders, their socialist hero, paints the wonderful picture of free healthcare, education, free this, free that - pointing to Scandinavian countries as an example of Socialism. But Scandinavian countries are not Socialist countries, they are capitalist countries with high taxes and lots of benefits. They seem to be better, in some ways they are but in many ways they are not. These countries can not be compared to Marxist, Socialist regimes like Russia, Venezuela, and China. There are not, nor has been massacres of millions of people taking place in Scandinavia.
Marxism is the root of Socialism and Karl Marx is the founder of Marxism. But who was Karl Marx and is he the kind of person we should be taking advise from? In this episode, we take a close look at Karl Marx, his faith, and his spiritual decline.
