This is an exerpt from the book Keys of This Blood, 1990, by the priest Malachi Martin, who left the Jesuit order but not priesthood, writes a critique of elites and their fixation on marxism to the detriment of the world. Judge for yourselves. Martin was not writing on behalf of the the Church, but as an author to make a living having left the Jesuit Order. Perhaps fit the proper names in these writings below to a modern figure you know, who is elite and well-known.
Of course Marx invented socialism in the 1800s, a failed economic system many times over from a failed intellectual. An atheist, who wrote poems of love to Satan, which is rather evil none-the-less bewildering.
The only people that do not seem to espouse marxism and socialism are those non-elites that have lived under the system, or for that matter those who are wise enough to avoid learning its evils first hand.
Writing in 1990, Martin states in his book,
\" There [was] Gorbachev's almost servile belief in the coming of Leninist socialism as the inevitable result ... . The [Russian] president knows the schools of Marxist and para-Marxist thought and persuasion have been born throughout the claimant intellectual elites of the West -- at Standford ... Harvard ... Franfurt ... the World Council of Churches ... Third World Studies groups ... radical feminists ... .
On the top of that Marxist-colored wave, there are scores of major clergymen and nuns, seminary professors, intellectuals, writers, all from John Paul Roman Catholic Church and all translating Marxism into hallowed Christian terms so that the basic Marxist thought can become palatable for the hundreds of millions of Catholics in the Third World countries, particularly Latin America. \"
In ending Martins exerpt above, it is safe to say history bore this out.
