Biografia del poder, 5 : Venustiano Carranza, puente entre siglos Book

I wish that I had been exposed to more of this kind of literature when I was younger. The other side of the story. It is so important in our personal and public education to get outside of the government propaganda. We MUST realize that there are always AT LEAST two viewpoints to consider. Liberation Theology has been widely demonized by the church in America. I find it's premise to be one of the most Christ like ideas that I've ever heard. God is on the side of the oppressed. What can be so wrong with that? It's unfortunate that this book is no longer in print. It came out in 1987 and was the product of a lengthy interview with Castro that was conducted by a Brazilian clergyman in 1985. Castro is and has been EXTREMELY open and welcoming to religion in his country. Although he is a self-professed atheist, he acknowledges the similarities between true Socialist thought and the teachings of Christ. In fact, he makes the statement (to which I also subscribe), that the TRUE definition of Socialism is much more Christ like than Capitalism can ever hope to be. Capitalism is about one-upmanship and exploitation. Socialism is about equality and human rights.
