On the other hand today's largest killers claim to be followers of Jesus. Why isn't Jesus demonized in the same way? The difference could be that power feels threatened by Marx but not by Jesus so demonizing Marx is useful while demonizing Jesus makes no difference. You think Roubini is right to give Marx credit on this one? True. On the other hand today’s largest killers claim to be followers of Jesus. Why isn’t Jesus demonized in the same way?

The demonization is crazy. That suggests to me he must have been right about something, but I don't know enough about his views to know. Don’t know how I ended up here, but here’s Nouriel Roubini on Marx.

However, if you come back to the real world, you will see that competition does the exact opposite, it increases the standard of living, it increases working standards, it increases pay, and it is overall the working person’s best weapon, not its enemy. This is why unions and the minimum wage have the opposite result, since by reducing competition they don’t make the working person’s standard of living better; on net balance, they make it worse.

Sociology, a science? Now were just getting plain ridiculous, aren't we. ;) Aside from you somewhat supporting Karl Marx, the next most ridiculous thing is when you said, “but Sociology as a science was practically created by him”.

Marx is still considered by elites. You may disagree with Marx but Sociology as a science was practically created by him ( and Comte, Weber and such. As to your point that MArxism could not be established, your ideas of Marx look more like Lennin's than Marx. By the way the terrible ideas of Lennin lasted 75 years.
