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.
