anyways that is a dumb little essay that says nothing. religion and spirituality will always serve reaction, marxism is inherently in conflict with superstition and mysticism. blaming the collapse of the Soviet Union on the failure to build an alternative to religion instead of the 70 year assault by the actual REAL forces of capitalism, imperialism and reaction is antimaterialist lib nonsense.

Religion explains human behavior to me still better than even materialism does because there is an arbitrary animosity in the class conflict whose rationale cannot be rooted in something merely human, merely greed, merely desire for control, but in fact a sadism that I can only explain as otherworldly and demonic in its refusal to compromise, its adamancy to oppress. It is easy to feel sympathy for even the rich when you see their tears and watch them mumble about their problems because they, like us, are human, so we either dehumanize ourselves to oppose them or risk falling for their trap. But religion allows for a mystical force to be behind such corruption, and also one that condemns us all, and in that condemnation, we are all equals, guilty of humanity. In this way we make cases for class consciousness not, as so often is the case in civil arenas, on such paltry basis as popularity or even theory but on a pedestal of morality, that to oppress the poor is not just bad for poor people but in fact risks you yourself of hellfire. Only, for me at least, can a belief in an afterlife and eternal reward and punishment truly motivate me in arguing for a good and just world, because otherwise, who am I to disagree with this hellscape? Is it not, as the moderates say, all as it should be? Is there in fact nothing to have faith in and we should just surrender to those who believe in might is right, greed is good, and whatever twisted morality is presented before us? So for me, the only thing that's been keeping me from nihilism is my faith. I can't prescribe that to everyone because it's a personal decision and journey, one that I could never abbreviate for anyone with my lowly and weak human wit. But my faith does not distract me from the need to improve material circumstances in this world. Far from it. It sustains me. And I think that should be kept in mind with regards to future coalitions between the left and the religious, that these beliefs don't exist just as opiate but can in fact be incentive.

The vast majority of people (especially the poor and working class) believe in some kind of creed or higher power. How far do you think you are going to get if you tell them to gently caress off if they don't give up their beliefs?

I didn't say that, of course the collapse of the soviet union was caused by material forces, not by a lack of faith. I'm saying that there was a broad failure of propaganda to sincerely convince the people there of the truth of Marxism because their attempt to establish a personality cult was misguided and poorly executed. If they had taken the time to understood how to better relay Marxist ideas to people, then socialism might still be a relevant force in the former USSR right now

Why the gently caress is the "make fun of witchcraft" thread getting retitled to a witchcraft thread. Pretty sure that's just going to result in the witchcraft people whining when they get made fun of in the make fun of witchcraft thread.
