Answer:

Opiate

Explanation:

In his famous statement published on 1844 in the german newspaper "Deutsch-Französischen Jahrbücher", Karl Marx condemns religion as a "drug" which enables the high ruling class to manage lower working classes.

It is clear that Marx refers to the principles of Christian religion about slaves being obedient to their masters, about poverty as a condition to go to heaven, etc.

We sould notice how deeply his opposition to religion influences comunist regimes still today, which generally are against any kind of spiritual believes, mainly the Catholic church.

However, Martin Luther was against this and wrote books preaching against the church. A way to get these new teachings to the people was to make many copies of them by using the Gutenberg press.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The Electoral College doesn't treat all Americans equally. It turns presidential elections into massive efforts to win the votes of a small number of voters in a few key states, rather than the support of the American people as a whole.
