Marx & Satan is a fascinating little book by former Rumanian gulag prisoner Richard Wurmbrand, RIP, a Lutheran minister of Jewish background who founded Voice of the Martyrs to speak out on behalf of the persecuted Christians worldwide -- those who all too often have had absolutely nobody to hail their desparate cause and heartbreaking plight: www.vombooks.com/qry/qe_store.taf?_function=detail&_peid=1068&_id=A7535CC748&_code=P&_nc=bd805f68cc572634443839dbd4893ff7 and at the various national VoM branches.
Pastor Wurmbrand gleaned interesting and shocking material from the writings of Engels, Moses Hess, and Karl Marx -- especially his exact words from letters, poems and plays throughout his life, if 'life' it can be called. In Marx's own words:
<Quote>
The hellish vapours rise and fill the brain,
Till I go mad and my heart is utterly changed.
See this sword?
The prince of darkness
Sold it to me.
For me he beats the time and gives the signs.
Ever more boldly I play the dance of death.
