    "Santa Claus is coming to Marx.
     
    A specter has been haunting Marxism -the specter of Christianity. Routed
    politically by capitalist globalism, and hard-pressed to identify any
    really existing hope, some prominent Marxists have turned to
    Christianity for inspiration and revision. Terry Eagleton has reclaimed
    his Catholic past, and now exhorts his comrades to read theology.
    Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri have invoked St. Francis as a model of
    "the future life of communist militancy." And Alain Badiou, arguably
    France's foremost Marxist, has upheld St. Paul as the pre-secular augur
    of revolutionary universalism."
