I misspoke on the current econ conflict tho. Don't confuse controversial historical notes with politics. The Rosenberg case won't require any political decisions. If this is political, then by this reasoning, the controversies over scientific discoveries are political. I don't think anyone would define scientific disputes as political in the sense we are discussing here.
History falls into the scientific category.
BTW, while Marxists have mischaracterized econ. The core issue is who will control the allocation of economic resources and the returns to capital and human assets. The means of controlling these resources are quite different under the two systems, with Marxists arguing that dissent is not allowed, but this is an economic management issue. Nothing in the Bible opposes slavery. The Chinese are trying to impede the entry of Christian missionary groups in an indirect fashion.
