Yes. Plus slogans like "NO GODS NO MASTERS" inevitably alienate Muslim comrades since they imply forced atheism.

Yes. People are retarded and love their spooks.

It's often interpreted like that but the "no Gods" part of the phrase actually refers to ecclesiastical rule and not the notion of God or gods itself.

a handicap? maybe, one of many, probably minor in the big picture

Most anarchists interpret it to imply atheism.

HOW ABOUT NO?

That's because they're stupid. It's referring to rule by the Church which was very common. It just wouldn't sound as cool if it were "No Church no Masters.

But then you're alienating Christians. Why?

Why not?

I just explain it to them ask them if they'd like to live in a theocracy if they think the Church should play a political role. Most would say no.

It isn't that simple you fool. It could have religious undertones. Unless they wish to have an organized religion retain a sort of social authoritative power, the religious are fine.

Yes. For the modern left to be relevant, we need to drop the materialist nonsense and develop a new revolutionary idealist theory. Marxism is dead, long live Hegel!

What about Mirsaid Sultan-Galiyev, Malcolm X, Nasser, the PFLP, Gaddafi, Chinese Muslims who took part in the Chinese Revolution, or the YPG?

Graves of the past and a isolated and fetishized movement based on Bookchin his rhetoric.
You may be free from the state or other imposed authority but god or any other absolute ideas will impose their ideals upon you with its servants or by influencing the thoughts of the unique self.

So, SocDem dictators are fine.
It was his undoing.
Maotism.

Seriously.
I am an orthodox christian on paper. FUCK CHRISTIANITY!
But Islam? NOOOO! WE HAVE TO RESPECT ISLAM!
Well.. FUCK ISLAM! FUCK BUDHISM! FUCK TAOISM, FUCK NORSE MYTHOLOGY.. .. FUCK YOU!

hail satan

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE REVOLUTIONS!

Yui is excelent when it comes to knowing about post-socratic philosophy.

As long as he doesn't express opinions.

Go read what I said again you fool

It's because Muslims are the most oppressed peoples in the world right now. Not just in the Middle East but also in the West where islamophobia is cemented into state policy and also countries like India, Russia, China, several places in Africa where Christians attack Muslims on a daily basis and so on. Muslims can't even express their religion in a secular Muslim nation like Turkey.

Muslims will never identify as proletariat. They identify as Muslim first, so any socialist movement which takes off in the near future MUST take this into account.

Nihilism is the only solution.

Please stop

And 'Muricans indentify as middle class.
So what?

Seriously.. FUCK OFF WITH THIS BS!

So … unconditional support of market capitalism and government?

You don't understand. Muslims are the most class conscious people in the world right now HOWEVER they only understand their class position on a religious/ethnic basis and not a relations of production one. ANY socialist revolution in the near future will have to take this into account.
