That the soul of man hangs in the balance during the class struggle. Capitalism is a void which devours our humanity, our kindness. Socialism will restore our humanity. Example would be Cuba sending doctors to help other countries during COVID while the US engages in piracy and still ends up killing hundreds of thousands.
I'm not sure how many comrades here are like me, like Che, guided by this great feeling of love, but that's pretty much how I got into this. I'm surrounded by petty bourgeois types in my daily life, so if I wasn't gonna get to where I am now via a materialist path, I had to take a moral one.

I think too little. Marxist spirituality (in the loosest sense of the word, not karma and spirits and shit) should be a thing. Occasionally reminding yourself what you're fighting for is good for you.
Yeah, I'm not referring to that consciousness separate from the body concept. More like the cultural zeitgeist meaning of soul. You're right of course about dying in a more essential way. That's kinda how I view the US right now in a moral sense, although there's a correlation there between the death of the society's soul and the current physical deaths to COVID.

It sure does feel like there's this grand "good vs evil" battle going on right now.
