On Liberalism, Left Unity, Electoral Politics, and Other things

propagating what can only be described as "anti-religion nonsense", that we shouldn't defend religious minorities from attacks, or argue for minority rights because all religion is bad and should be discouraged - I can only say that if you're a Socialist that does that, you should probably be made aware that your analysis of religion is anti-Marxist and idealist to its core, so if you're going to hold to it at least don't pretend you have the support from Marx's materialist school of thought here

Nice. This is reason why reasonable person, who supports idea of making people free from oppression, and who really likes idea of freedom and equality - should stay away from those people who call them self socialists, communists, marxists.

So basically, there is stupid idea - religion, and around this stupid idea there is institution, that exploit lack of education (and that people are poor), to control people, to force their views (which contradict to ideas of freedom and equality), on other people, and make those oppressed became the oppressors of each other.

And there is people, who really hate bullshit, who value critical thinking, who value ideas of freedom and equality, who really hate totalitarianism and oppression. And this people criticize religion, criticize these institution, criticize those people who are part of this evil system, in attempt to influence them, or other like them to abandon this ideology.

And what you say to them? You say "fuck you, you are not socialists, you don't follow Marx correctly".

Well, then fuck you, and fuck your Marx. Good people don't need your ideology and authority of Marx, or anyone else to pursuit ideas of freedom and liberty.

This whole bullshit is based on fallacy, that since people are "minority" and they are prosecuted, or was prosecuted by right wing, they somehow immune to criticism at all, and criticism of their ideas and actions, and that is somehow automatically make person who criticizes - a racist, nazi, a right wing scum.

All this is reason, while Soviet Union ended as total fail, lack of critical thinking, lack of self-criticism and honesty, ability to acknowledged mistakes, blind following of some ideology with some set of believes not based on facts and reasonable thinking. And most of you can't even imagine what evil now grown from it (and devouring Ukraine and Russian people right now).

This post just shows how many of you people, are just really another kind of fascists, and how it's not about those core ideas, and about people, but about some stupid ideology. And that you hate people with different opinion, who may point to places where you are wrong. Yeah, right, remove liberal scum from this subreddit, make it only for true followers of Marx, so you would sit whole day agreeing with each other and praise Marx.

You just ruined left.
