    “Politics replacing God” just means “people advocating for politics you personally disagree with.”

      No, it doesn’t. For example, there are some people who have a Christ-centred socialist view. Karl Marx was Antitheist and Materialist. That’s my main reason for disagreeing with Marxism.

      The reality is that no political system will ever abolish oppression due to The Fall.

        Then it is useless to try to ban abortion or wage holy war against Islam, and you are contradicting yourself.

          You can implement measures to reduce oppression, but can never eliminate it.

              That’s fair and very respectable, provided Marxism isn’t attempting to replace God in this case. Is Marxism antitheist? Probably best to ask an actual marxist instead of listen to what people say about Marxists and what I’ve observed about The People’s Republic of China.
