The very bourgeoisie in its merciless class battle against the feudal God, replaced him with Reason, separated State and Religion.

Hence, the socialist revolution begins with the social critique of religion. Otherwise the socialist revolution against capitalism cannot commence. It gets stuck in liberation theology, in the theology of revolution.  President Hugo Chavez Frias of Venezuela said it in a speech to the nation:  He thinks that no heaven exists above, otherwise the astronauts would have sighted it; no hell exists below, otherwise the oil company of Venezuela, PDVSA, would have discovered it under the earth.

All our global social problems are man-made, hence we, mankind, can undo, solve and transcend them towards creative, human emancipation.
