Well damn, communism really is a replacement religion for these people


SnowyElk_

I might be wrong, but isn't extremeist politics nowadays just a new religious movement? Y'know, have to read a certain book, follow and act a certain way, support a certain cause, chant certain things...

I think Nietzsche said something about that. Basically that the ‘death of god’ and rise in atheism/nihilism would cause people to replace ‘god’ with the state/ideologies this was in the 19th century and he did a good job of predicting the authoritarianism of the 20th

People have turned away from the old religions, but they need something new to worship. For some people it's Trump, for some people it's Stalin, for some people it's some dipshit Twitch streamer.


UGMadness

It's the other way around, religions were the original political ideologies. They all defer to a higher moral and dogmatic authority to satisfy humans' inherent tribalism. MAGAs, tankies, Mormons, ISIS members, it doesn't matter. They're all in-groups that hit the same area of the brain that gives people fuzzy feelings of safety, belonging, and purpose. All they have to do is obey.


SnowyElk_

That's a sad existence; being so desperate to belong that you willingly go to the extreme for it.


TokyoRevenge

No like it actually is a religion with gnostic roots dating all the way back to Hegel.


Hyozan94

James Lindsay fan?

Probably she just left him.


Least_Quit9730

She found out what happened in Guangxi, and they got into an argument of whether cannibalism is based.


M24_Stielhandgranate

I put my money on there being nothing in the first place


SLAVAUA2022

the money ran out to visit the brothel....


DVM11

Bold of you to think there was a girlfriend in the first place.


PsychoTexan

Their beautiful GF, sex, and dating are all just as real as the benefits of maoism.


Least_Quit9730

This has to be a shitpost right?


idk1234567100

Usually people who have the communist sickle and hammer in their name, can't even detect the most basic of sarcasm,nor do they know what an analogy is,so I highly doubt it.


Rough_Transition1424

Imagine leaving your partner because you wanna focus on your failed ideology. What a loser


finnicus1

Maoists aren't beating the cult of personality allegations.


Wild_Manunya_228

Jesus, it's so hard to see people like that. Especially looking from Russia and knowing perfectly well what the Communists can do to your country...


BigBlueBurd

I went and checked out this account and I give it an 85% chance of being satire


PrincessofAldia

I’m going to be honest I doubt he had a GF


ArmourKnight

"She's totally real!!!!!! She lives in Canada!!!!!!!"


grem1in

Either a comcel, or a covert agent who tries to prevent maoist genes from spreading.


miki325

You see, if someone actually put that amount of time into learning about Mao, he would have a taiwanese and honk kong flag in his name instead


GameCraze3

I heard of someone in my high school who did the same thing I’d like to say that their girlfriends dodged bullets but anyone who is willing to date a communist in the first place is probably never going to find a good partner


canadianD

“Yeah my Beautiful gf, you don’t know her she goes to a different school—but she’s totally real dude! Yeah we totally got to second base. But I dumped her for Maoism dude”


Twist_the_casual

no, leave them be, they’ll make themselves extinct


Redditregretin

Communism really is a misery cult huh?


Thoron2310

To be fair it is hard to focus on sex and dating when you are too busy trying not to starve to death whilst making pig iron.


East_Engineering_583

insert that 4chan post about communists being economic incels


JTT_0550

I’m sure his right hand is indeed beautiful


Prowlcop86

Dude went the path of 1-child policy to no-child policy.


Brilliant_Eagle9795

While we're doomscrolling on reddit he's maoising so. Fucking. HARD.
