There is no God but Politics
Title of an essay comparing Marx to Sayyid Qutb. The author finds commonalities in their view of historical inevitability/God's Law, their emphasis on process (and violence), their description of a lost golden age (primitive communism/first post-Mohammed generations), and their view of the perfectibility of society. An interesting take.
