Many of Marx’s most valuable insights and contributions are interrupted by this. His secular politics became doctrine through a self-selected “scientific” designation. This led to his most fervent followers treating his work as timelessly infallible. This way Marx’s socialism becomes the only form of socialism, which has never been the case. As Cedric Robinson notes, “Marxism crafted a historical pedestal for itself by transmuting all previous and alternative socialisms into poorly detailed blueprints or dead-end protoforms of itself.” Robinson explains traces of the gospel in Marxism as well as its own religiousness in lengthy detail in An Anthropology of Marxism (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2019).
