There may or may not be a parallel to be found between Marx & xtianity, but this is not one. In fact it is the sharpest contrast: there are no "thical precepts" in Marx. He doesn't even condemn capitalism morally: it is not evil, it's history. To be destroyed, yest, but keep the moral pomposity out of it.
