This is Karl Marx. He fascinates me. (Don't freak out.) Over the past couple years I have [accidentally] studied socialism & communism. (I say accidentally because I didn't pick up books because I knew they talked about those things, it just so happened that most of the books I've read recently have taught me so much on the subjects.) The more I see how our American society has changed/is changing I become more curious & fascinated about men [and women] like Marx. Though I know that the ideas that these people hold to flow from a wicked, lost heart that doesn't know Jesus, my heart aches and keeps asking how people can be so evil. How can people only look out for themselves, even & especially at the cost of other people's lives. It's sickening. It's sickening how they target the youth to win them to their way of life. The more I learn about him & his followers, the more I want to know. I believe that his whole system of belief is incredibly relevant to our society today. Oh, and don't even get me started on how feminism relates to him! Or ask me about it. I'm happy to share. My world was flipped upside down when I briefly studied feminism.
[The books I read were "So Much More" by Anna Sofia & Elizabeth Botkin, "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand, "Joyfully at Home" by Jasmine Baucham, and probably a few others. I recommend all of them. Definitely good reads!]
