Addiction, Alienation and the Death of God (Patreon)

In this programmme we look at Marx's 1843 work where we outlined his critique of religion. From there we proceed into a discussion of how capitalism killed Christianity but never removed the need for religious belief.  This leads into a deliberation on how capitalism promotes addictions as a way to offer people a fake feeling of transcendence.  

Outro Music Is 'The People Of The World Will Surely Be Victorious!" a Chinese Cultural Revolution era song from 1971.
