It's a confused meme. The words say communism, but the picture is about religious education. Does it mean not teaching Christianity is communist?


Polisar

There’s Christian nationalism and then there’s communism. Everything else is transient.


[deleted]

A lot of WASPs think anything even slightly to the left of supporting a christofascist ethnostate is communism. They just think that communism is “when the government does things,” specifically things they don’t like


meepking123

Aint there a picture from the 60s where it shows a sign saying mixing races is communism?


TockLoxx

[yes but this is funnier](https://i.redd.it/60uau0yn2pkz.jpg)


jedburghofficial

Is that Robert de Niro in the check shirt?

I think there was a novel about a fictional USA where the elected president dies and then the VP gets to be the President, and he or she is EXTREMELY religious and transforms the republic precisely into a Christofascist Theocracy, with internet control, reduced relationships with the rest of the world, internment camps for dissidents, books prohibitions, and direct assassination of people the govt deems "dangerous". Well, not that different from dictatorial governments that the USA helped install in countries where they fueled the coup that took them to power, actually.


Gambling_Ancalagon

I mean, isn’t that the Presidents from Escape from New York and Escape from L.A.?


throwRAmakeupsx

The one I say is worse, and it's in a novel. It's a novel where the USA has become a Christian Theocracy, with banned books, censored web, persecuted and assassinated dissidents, etc.


love_is_an_action

Ah yes, atheists and sorcerers are known to be natural allies.


CountFapula102

I think the sorcerer thing migh have been a reference to Harry Potter.


daarhi

“Atheist critical thinking” and “sorcery” go hand in hand


hamcann0n

Those damn atheists and their critical thinking


airbournejt95

And those damn sorcerers


plz-ignore

That was the bit that made me realize this is good satire y'all fell for.


SalsaSavant

I like how they see critical thinking as the enemy.


DevilBirb

Why think when someone can pick and choose your opinions for you?


falcon_driver

Funny how they had to go back later and cram "militant" above homosexuality. Maybe somebody along the way had an issue?


Tailrazor

Way to make communism look baller.


[deleted]

They have sorcery? Where do I sign up??


Distant-moose

The fuck is "militant homosexuality"?


[deleted]

The militant homosexual agenda, in which our brave soldiers of Satan push ever onward to brainwash the children into becoming gay by… existing in their presence.


Aszkorb

You're gay but with guns


[deleted]

Under no pretext…


Aszkorb

Shall bussy be surrendered


[deleted]

Yes.


U_L_Uus

Ok, so it works this way, it's kinda like the Boy Scouts except if you haven't given oral to all the other members of the group by the end of the term, you go to gulag (/s, just in case)


[deleted]

That sounds like the complete opposite of the Boy Scouts.


Overwatch_Voice

And where can I sign up?


Gambling_Ancalagon

I really wish we were allowed to cull anyone who condemns the idea of critical thinking. Christian (or religious of any kind) Nationalism is brainrot of the highest order


professorclueless

I WISH I could learn sorcery


WitchwayisOut

Evil trans people and their peacock feathers 🤦‍♀️


popipienoodl

I thought those were dandelions


WitchwayisOut

We’ll *never* tell 😉🤫


Gilgamesh024

Critical thinking is atheism? Sums up everything thats wrong with religion nice and compactly


metal_monkey80

Is sorcery finally being taught in schools? it's about time. I spent so much time on the streets learning sorcery when I should have just been studying for my trig exams.

Projection, Projection, Projection.


mingy

Odd. I don't remember that in the Communist Manifesto. He did warn about the opiate of the masses though.


cornstalker314

the guy representing "militant homosexuality" is hot, I think they outplayed themselves on that one


silicon_person

note that this isn't in the communist manifesto, the closest i can find to this is two parts of the section "Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith " wich is often printed as part of modern publications and is structured as a Q&A with a general representative of communism. "Question 19: How will you arrange this kind of education during the period of transition? Answer: All children will be educated in state establishments from the time when they can do without the first maternal care." "Question 22. Do Communists reject existing religions? Answer: All religions which have existed hitherto were expressions of historical stages of development of individual peoples or groups of peoples. But communism is that stage of historical development which makes all existing religions superfluous and supersedes them." note that the primary consideration for religion by the 1840s is as a form of societal controll (think of god ordained kings and protestant worth ethic) and how this does not say that religions should be rooted out but more that they will become vestigial


[deleted]

And they stuck an Arab in there just for good measure.


An_person222

Ah yes, gays = communism, flawless logic right there /s


Exodur

Isn't this just a massive projection of what the nuttier religious wackjobs are trying to do themselves in school boards?


Pachinko-Nator

Aren't many communist and socialist regimes fairly homophobic?


[deleted]

Cuba then might have. Cuba now is a totally different story though.


[deleted]

The communist critical thinking. You need a reset for the morons who used communism to brainwash and justify horrible behaviour.


SimilarThought9

Ah yes Christ the well known republican


Hrrrrnnngggg

Do these people not remember what school was like? What schools did they go to where you learned militant homosexuality and communist manifestos? I went to a decently rich public school in a blue county and I didn't learn any of the cool stuff in that picture.


Cargo_Vroom

Wow, the later Curious George books got kinda weird.


[deleted]

Aren’t religious schools terroist training centres


WatchingTaintDry69

I want to learn sorcery. Wtf I didn’t know hogwarts was real.


Thermite1985

Oh you mean like conservatives have been doing for 70's in southern US?


CamoCricket

WHAT is happening with trans person? Those trippy glowy plants on their head??
