do you live under a rock? it's a big thing in Latin America

Leftism became associated with atheism. People couldn't be arsed to continue with religion.

Vatican 2 ended the intellectual thrust within Catholicism. Imperialism and self purges killed the few left that cared to make real changes in the world.

Protestantism was always sans intelligence.

Islam had it's leftist elements purged in coups and imperialism. Only the groups willing to go full retard sharia law were given money by America and allowed to exist.

We'll see about that

A right shame, too. Porky is directly threatened by LT, and porky "makes" bananas. To porky, bananas are more important than liberation from porky. Ergo, any number of death squads unleashed on Latin and South America to stop it is better than not stopping it. I think Africa experienced similar happenings, but as that's not my continent of expertise I'll quit making an ass of myself while I'm ahead.

You sound way too dismissive of the risks.

ISIS won't last forever. At some point, the US will have to decide on their long-term priorities and a successful socialist society isn't high on the list.

Holocaust and left-antisemitism.

I'm not dismissive so much as optimistic. I see the US being distracted and flailing with Trump-sperging in the critical time period after ISIL is fully defeated that will open up an opportunity for the growing socialist movement.

But make no mistake, the US won't be an ally any longer than ISIL is around and possibly even before then.

Wew.

no

It did many times in history: it's just not a big thing now.

They get alienated or repressed by the mainline version of their religion, that insolates and stinguishes them.

go on

Religion is incompatible with socialism.

Why?

Because leftism is for atheists, i.e. statheists, who have substituted their belief in God for a belief in a utopian political ideology.

We cannot be free until all hierarchy is destroyed.

Says the local unseeable hand priest.

...

nice try kiddo, commuism will be our heaven on earth

don’t forget the US has betrayed Kurds many times, and they will absolutely do it again

lol try having a real ideology before you come after legitimate things

I remember what you tried to do to my church, you fucks.

It did. Most Catholics, Christians in general, many religious Jews, and the vast majority of Muslims are leftists.

Entrenched religious institutions that suck up to those in power can go fuck themselves.

I personaly believe that religion is a personal choice and things like the church are a tool for idealogical control. Hell, it works so well that the Khruschev placed plants within the Russian Orthodox church that supported its message.

Fuck that. If you can just kill and replace religious figures to suit your shit than that thing has got to go.

plot twist: Islam mandates socialism.

What's wrong with that? Most people are stupid and have to be controlled.

The only thing stalin did wrong was not kill every priest in russia and turn every church into something useful, like libraries or hospitals or something

it did in latin america

nigga whom the fuck are you kidding

It relied too much on the wrong religious groups. It would work better with Neo-Paganism if you had a religious group of that large enough.

nice sp00ks neeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddd

Because religion and right-wing ideologies have something in common: They're both for people who are fucking insane, stupid, or intentionally retarded. The only exception being the ones at the top of these institutions usually, who are often chess mastermind megalomaniacs.

operative word: often
think of hitler who - contrary to popular belief - was a complete moron.
