I thought Communism was dead. Why all this red-baiting from the bourgeois intelligentisia and politicos ? It's like they have seen a ghost. This priest conducts an argument talking to Marx ? Marx is dead.

There is a spectre haunting Europe and America — the spectre of communism.

MUNICH, Germany Coming soon to German bookstores: a new "Das Kapital" from another Marx.

The author says readers should not expect a defense of communism from the book.

Munich's Roman Catholic Archbishop Reinhard Marx says his work is to some extent "an argument with Marxism."

Marx wrote the first chapter of his "Das Kapital: A Plea for Humanity"

as a letter to his "dear namesake" — the 19th century ideologist Karl Marx.

The archbishop writes that "the consequences of your thinking were in the end disastrous." ^^^^ CB: Speak for yourself, "father".

^^^^

Marx says he intends with the book to highlight the value of Catholic social teaching in a globalized world. ^^^ CB: Must be a short book.

^^^^^

The book was presented Wednesday.
