How Jesus Turned Me Into A Marxist

While lots of politicians and hucksters would like you to believe that Christianity is antithetical to Marxism and Communism, they're absolutely wrong. I explain in this video about how my own experiences with Christianity led me to a radical politics grounded in Marxist analysis. If you're interested in supporting this channel and getting extended cuts of these videos check out my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MichaelBurns420/membership  

In the extended cut I talk about colonialism and evangelicalism and religion and capitalist realism. #christianity #marxism #philosophy
