Marxism Christianity and Islam

<p>Roger Garaudy was for many years at the centre of the French Communist Party but was eventually expelled for his liberal views. In the Seventies he strove to bring Marxism and Christianity together to include all humanity in a project to set all people free. What emerges from Garaudy's project is a very modern Marxism with its emphasis on the individual its ecological politics and in its insistence on religion as central to human emancipation. Although Garaudy himself became frustrated by the failure of Marxism and converted to Islam eventually resulting in his work being discredited in the West it is certainly possible that Garaudy’s project represents a good perhaps even the best starting point for Marxism in today’s world.</p>
