Why did John McCain imply that Karl Marx is in hell?

While on the stump John McCain implying that Fidel Castro will go to hell said that he can meet Karl Marx there. I am not offended or anything. I just thought it was pretty funny that he assumed that a theorist would go to hell for simply developing an economic model. Is God a capitalist? Marx wasn't alive when these dictators killed people. His theories never said to kill anyone.

1. Must also be in hell with Ayn Rand
2. They think god is on their side. You know who else thinks god is on their side? Terrorists! Just because people think god is on their side does not make them right.
3. they have no god
4. I don't know, but if he doesn't think that his ideology is still some where in this world, he is very much mistaken.
5. Marxism is reponsible for 50 million deaths under Mao the Marxist, another 30 million deaths under Stalin the marxist, 12 million deaths under Lenin the marxist, 3 million deaths under Pol Pot the Marxist, untold thousands unter Cuba the Marxist, not to mention untold misery, drudgery and additional deaths before , during, and after these evil evil marxists. All told, marxism has killed more people than any other idea. And it's still killing. Hell is far too kind for karl marx.
6. because of socialism millions of people were condemned to the ravages of poverty, and had their spirit of self and self accomplishment stripped Hey Raul: If you think neocons are worse than Castro, perhaps you need to flee to Cuba, and leave your boat so 30 cubans can escape back here to the land of neocons.
7. LOL...LOL...a genuine opinion clearly stated, fine by me Guess I need to check my bookshelf and make sure nothing's missing. Funny enough, even after reading Marx, I'm not a communist! .
8. Marx theories led to millions being killed or imprisoned in Siberia; that might by him a 1st class ticket there.
9. He has a small mind, and can not think for himself. I don't agree with Castro, or Marx, but the Neo Conns are far worse. We need a person who respect for the truth. Someone who wants justice. Someone who loves the American way of life, and is willing to defend it, not hand it over to the corporations. We need someone like Ron Paul.
10. Some of us still believe that there is a higher power out there. Yes we believe in heaven and hell. Got a problem with that? And republicans are not evil. I want everyone to do the best they can. The govt has no business getting into what the dems are trying to. States have individual rights. Socialism is bad. Capitalism is good. We could just throw all the wealthy people, and big business out and what is left? Government socialism.
