I am not a Marxist and quite opposed to it, but this is weak moralizing. It is amazing how the west has decided to define it's self by the particular economic system they have adopted. It is sad and from the way I look at it Poland is the west (a gateway between the east and the west) It's a country that is more influenced by Western Latin Christianity though out it's history. One could define it many ways I suppose but what makes poland not western (other then connection with the USSR, which if that is how you define it is completely asinine.).

Give him a good argument against what he is saying rather then just weak moralizing.
