“I wasn’t commenting on Marx’s words but your own..”
Well, my words differed from Marx’s only in so far as I put ‘ruling ideas’ first, and not second, in my sentence about them, which, I think created the misunderstanding.
Instead of saying “The ruling ideas are always those of the ruling class”, I should have said “The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas.”
Having said that, your ideas seem to me to be pure fantasy, and subject to Marx’s comments about religious alienation.
“I am not a member of the SPGB.”
Well, I’m sorry for thinking you were, but you are a Marxist, I take it.
