Summary: This is-a revised and expanded version of the author's article published in Vidyajyoti, August 1985. It attempts a discerning exploration of the depths of the relationship between Liberation Theology and Marxism. While some currents of Liberation Theology explicitly use Marxist analysis, others explicitly reject it. All of them, however, have' certain basic affinities to Marxism, at whose heart is the option for the poor and the resultant committment to structural change. Class struggle, according to the author, is a fundamental fact, which-leaves no room for neutrality. Violence he points out, is another ineluctable fact, which cannot be exercised by denunciations, but must be overcome by love praxis.
