Dear Squeers, One problem with Terry Eagleton is that he is full of rubbish.

Terry Eagleton wrote In Praise of Marx. From his essay:

"The truth is that Marx was no more responsible for the monstrous oppression of the communist world than Jesus was responsible for the Inquisition."

However, Eagleton doesn’t mention what was responsible for the deaths. Eagleton's truth is a lie.

Most people grant that the Holocaust was no accident. It was simply Nazi ideology in practice. The corpses produced by the Marxist murderers were no accident either.

I wrote “Why so many corpses” which can be found at http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=12693.

Look it up, and you will see how the Communist Manifesto was a recipe for oppression and murder.

The Marxist murder machines murdered on the basis of class, and the Nazi murder machines murdered on the basis of race. There are still believers in the two stinking ideologies. Eagleton is no Orwell. He is just another apologist for an oppressive ideology.

Orwell had little use for either ideology. Please don't blacken Orwell's name by comparing him with a stench like Eagleton.

Dear Poirot,

I see nothing to justify the invasion of Iraq. Bush lied the US into that war. I think Hitchens was absolutely wrong in supporting that war. However, that does not excuse the Marxist murders and the ideology that inspired those murders.

It somehow seems that if one condemns the Marxist murders then one must support the war in Iraq. That is nonsense.

The Marxist generated corpses were no accident and were a consequence of the Marxist ideology. That does not excuse US imperialism and the war in Iraq. The Iraqi corpses were a consequence of US imperialism. Eagleton is simply another apologist for the Marxist criminals, and Hitchens is another apologist for the US invasion of Iraq. Eagleton and Hitchens - both apologists for the corpse makers.

Dear Poirot,

Apparently being on the left means one must ignore or excuse the corpses the Marxist criminals made and being on the rights means one must ignore or excuse the corpses the imperialist criminals made.

How about for once thinking of human suffering and mass murder and condemning whoever or whatever justifies it. There are too many Eagletons and Hitchens who will support mass murder as long as the murderers share their ideology.
