I'm talking about the ideas proffered by the three individuals being discussed. But you knew that.Nietzsche is dead.
Jesus is dying a slow death.
Marx is eternal.
Marx provides the antidote to nihilism and the final death blow to Jesus.
All three actually died, but one is said to have arisen.
At the end of the day, the only real hope we have is in such a miraculous event.
But I understand what you are trying to say. Marx at first seemed to be a threat to governments who used elements of the Christian faith to try and control people, but they later realized Marx provided a better way. For you see, Marx provided them with the demagoguery to convince the populace to give the government complete control over the markets and every financial transaction, to be redistributed the way they saw fit. It beat threatening people with hell if they did not obey the state.
In fact, I bet that the people of Venezuela who are now eating out of garbage cans thanks to the Marxist demagoguery are still in love with socialism
You only need to drink the cool aid once.
As you stated in your op, Marx's ideas have been falsified. I am saying that despite this, his true ideas live on, awaiting history to unfold.
But most people don't care about the ideology of Marx. Most people only care about themselves, which is the appeal of the presented ideology of Marx by the state. It is a celebration of coveting, a virtue Marx held, but one which is considered a sin by men like Christ.
