A Liberal Marxist’s View of Internet Gambling
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page
report discusses international Internet gambling in the context
of thinking exercised by a liberal Marxist. The traditional
Marxist viewpoint follows the original thinking of Karl Marx that
all events in human society are determined by economic forces.
Marx’s ultimate goal was to liberate the world from the evil of
acquisitive materialism and lead the human race to a new freedom.
He saw humans as unable to overcome greed. And certainly, greed
plays an important role in gambling. Therefore, a liberal Marxist
is likely to find him/herself in the unusual position of siding
with ultra-conservatives and the religious right regarding
international Internet gambling. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
