[lbo-talk] Rationality of the Masses

[Cseniornyc at aol.com]

Charles Brown says: "T"he U.S. started out with capitalism, and  
bourgeois,Protestant revolt
against the feudal, centralized  church.

So, in the U.S. , religion is the party punch, instead of the  opiate, for
the masses."
Comment: I thought historical analysis, especially of the Marxist kind,  tell 
us that, at least for the South ,the US started with a mix of Slavery and  
the feudal Plantation system, where religion was used pretty much as the opiate  
of the slaves.
