This is a controversial statement. Here is what he thinks about the class struggle russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev:

The logical structure of Marxism in the theory of class struggle is absolutely contradictory and philosophically naive. Marx holds on to extreme scholastic realism of concepts. Abstractions of thought he takes over the reality of being. To characterize as capitalist and bourgeois, some society as a whole with all its sophisticated culture is an abstraction and hypostasis concepts. The same abstraction and hypostasis concepts is the proletariat as a universal class, and the proletarian society and culture. Lenin recognized himself that there can't be proletarian culture, and can only be the introduction of the proletariat to culture and mastery of culture. We will see that the main logical disadvantage of Marx is the uncritical mixing of extreme realism with extreme nomination. The very concept of class and social group cannot be defined only economically, only in relation to production, as Marx wants. Social differentiation of society occurs on other grounds, is determined by other principles.

And here are his thoughts about the religious nature of Marxism:

- strict dogmatic system, despite practical flexibility;
- the division between Orthodoxy and heresy;
- the immutability of the philosophy of science, the Holy Scripture of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, which can only be interpreted, but not questioned;
- division of the world into two parts-believers-faithful and unbelievers-infidels;
-hierarchically organized Communist Church with directives from above; transfer of conscience to the Supreme body of the Communist party, to the Council;
-totalitarianism peculiar only to religions;
-the fanaticism of the faithful;
-excommunication and the execution of heretics;
- prevention of secularization within the group of believers;
-acknowledgement of original sin (exploitation).
