The problem was he was proselytizing Christianity. If he was a Marxist and told some bourgeois kid he was going to hell, he might get away with it.
I don't see how that would have happened... anyway Marxists are atheists. I don't really see what's wrong with many people here, at once when someone has done something stupid who is not a leftist, liberal, black or muslim they immediately say that had he been leftist, liberal, black or muslim he would have been praised rather than critisized. What sort of bull is this? What makes so many people think that there is some sort of international leftist-liberal-black-muslim conspiracy which is blaming all the worlds problems on white conservative people? And what's so wrong with the idea stated in many text books and by many people that the world would be a little better if we learnt to get along? I know it's unlikely but it's a nice idea, it's just like having a goal of no deaths in the traffic, unlikely, but it's a nice goal.
