God Building was a Russian Marxist school of thought that advocated the construction and organization of a religion of socialist humanity rather than the abolition of religion, as defended by a strictly materialist interpretation of Marxism. Its main proponents among the RSDLP were Anatoly Lunacharsky and Vladimir Bazarov , as well as the writers Maxim Gorky and Alexander Bogdanov .

The idea of ​​a religion of humanity was developed by Ludwig Feuerbach . The idea of ​​a Promethean construction of an individual replacing God is present in Nietzsche .

The superimposition of the plane of ideas and experiences, of idealism and materialism, was one of the fundamental theses of the empiriocriticism of Richard Avenarius and Ernst Mach, greatly admired by these Russian thinkers.

The French Revolution and its Cult of Reason and of the Supreme Being provided the example of a religion organized by the State according to the ideals that the latter had set for itself.

Finally, faced with a deeply religious Russian people, the preservation of religion seemed a guarantee of success for a revolution and a new societal project.

In the issue ofMarch 1907In the Mercure de France review , Maxim Gorky defends the position of the God Builders against the atheism of Georgy Plekhanov for whom religions are destined to disappear with the advent of communism.

Anatoly Lunacharsky developed these ideas: already in his first essay, *The Atheist* (1908), he showed that pure materialism inspired a pessimism and passivity that prevented any socialist construction. It was therefore necessary to rouse the people's enthusiasm by emphasizing values ​​of well-being and joy ( naslazhdenie ) and to propose a religion of humanity centered on humankind and progress.

The two volumes of his essay Religion and Socialism (1908) definitively established his doctrine. Religious emotion is paramount and must be redirected to build socialism. People must forge a psychological unity among all individuals, recognizing the sole value of facts and bodies (thus proposing a commandment to love them) and the value of human action. Lunacharsky perceived the religious dimension of the belief in the inevitable advent of the revolution and defined the 1905 revolution itself as the action of the people's religious forces. Christ was not recognized as God, but revered as the foremost of the Communists.

In the french revolution they tried a similar thing, they would parade an image of the goddess Reason for the populace to worship. Needless to say, religión, as a mostly irrational and mostly originating from a sort of spontaneus ideological strata of local common sense, is hardly engeneerable artificially. Most cases of such engeneering used already existing religious realities that spread slowly until some state endorsed it

>The first wave of marxists had a distinct faith in the coming world proletarian revolution and of its inevitability (even if logically they knew there's always another outcome) that modern marxists can't have, because we've lived to see the coming world revolution smashed all over the globe, and at the very least drastically delayed. I think that was the one singular aspect of religion that was available to us, and now there are none.
There are some anti-communist types who say (in a vulgar way) that "communism is just like a religion" as a way to dismiss Marxists as believing in fairy tales, but I think there's something to the theory that modern ideology filled in for traditional religion in the 20th century, and that has largely died out. Also it's a theme among people who grew up in the Soviet Union to say that a lot of people stopped believing in it. A factor that seemed important in eroding that system was the intensity of ideological commitment wasn't sustainable or at least reproducible down the generations. That is why the anti-communists are not quite right because communism didn't really have much to say about how to live your private life or how to raise a family. You were expected to have a good morality if you were a party member, don't cheat on your spouse, etc. but being part of that ideological project was not the same thing as just having a private life and wanting to be left alone either.

So it might be that ideology is dying like religion is dying. But some might think, that means communism can't return, but while that might be true for 20th century communism, Marxism is actually a critique of ideology. This is why Marxism can be turned around on itself as a critique of dogmatism. Also, I think one reason why religion is dying (or at least being replaced in the 21st century) is that it's competing with new forms of social activity enabled by technological and material changes. That could be Taylor Swift concerts, FIFA, video games, gym / MMA culture, Pride parades, creative hobbies, etc. Religion can "make sense" as social technology in certain circumstances. Like if you live in a rural area, the entertainment sucks, but there's a church and the families in the town bring their children there, and the children can play together while the parents network, pull strings, etc.

>But a shrine to materialism with incense flowing and big ass bells and gongs, chanting quotes from theory, statues of Marx, a hall for studying dialectical materialism is quite an interesting image.
>I imagine it would make Marx roll over in his grave.
Here's a Chinese sketch comedy about a Church of Atheism. Doesn't have English subs (there used to be a version but I think it was deleted), but a guy comes across the church praying to the sky, and he's like what are you doing there's nothing up there. The atheists say, "exactly, it's a miracle, that's why we're the Church of Atheism." The guy is like huh, that makes sense, okay let me join your church. And they take him to a temple where they pray to scientists and sing hymns to the periodic table of elements. Later on, there are people getting married at the Church of Atheism and the priest is like "alright that's enough, here's a civil servant to stamp your marriage certificate," another guy confesses to molesting his little sister, and the priest is like "why are you telling me? That's a job for the police."

Not a lot of revolutionary ideas coming out of the left . just talk about defending lost causes like the USSR etc we are looking backwards which is Undialectical .some new ideas coming out of leftypol but nothing groundbreaking . ACP RCP FRSO
DSA PSL have nothing new to say Losardo , cockshott and rock hill all talking about the past and dead ideas that can’t meet moment. They are brilliant people but it’s not new ideas just organizing the dead stuff . We can’t keep talking about history like a bunch of Reddit nerds where are the new ideas in theory and I don’t mean the dead end deleuze and anarchist crap of the 90s

Hey /leftypol/, the more I'm reading about these topics the more I get diverging interpretations that seem unreconcilable. So, what's the global consensus on these notions ?

>historical materialism
The structure of society, which reflects the mode of production (capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc), creates antagonist groups with structural interdependance aswell as structural contradictory modes of existence (i.e. the proletariat will aim to maximize their salaries, but the bourgeoisie will attempt to extract the most surplus value from the proletariat).
Over time, this creates change and conflict within societies, giving way to paradigmic societal change (i.e. feudalism -> capitalism -> …)
However, another interpretation seems to see it through the lens of the development in productive forces. In this case, the contradiction ceases to be between classes, but rather between the development of productive forces with the relations of production (i.e. feudalism preventing capitalism from developing because of taxes or irrational norms).
The first interpretation makes me tend to believe that there is no gradual change from one society towards another, and simply a dialectical movement towards the abolition of classes, whilst the second one seems to be much more technology-centric and linear.

>dialectical materialism
This one seems to be the most controversial one. From what I can gather, it seems that it originated with Engels and that it posits that the material world in eternal motion driven by contradictory forces and structured around 3 natural laws. However, doesn't this imply some form of naturalism ? Nonetheless, another interpretation that I have picked up accounts for it being the idea that man is in a dialectical interaction with his environment, by which he is able to consciously work on it whilst also being determined by the latter. This interpretation can be imo hardly derived easily from the first one.

>alienation
Every individual is intrinsically a social and creative potential, by which he can be fulfilled or alienated. Alienation here refers to the mechanisms inherent to capitalism which "alienates" the proletariat from that potential by reducing them to cogs.
In this view, the dialectic seems to change again and shifts towards individual interactions between the position someone holdsPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

'No to War': Iranian opposition abroad pushes back against US-Israeli strikes
The anti-war campaign on Persian social media has also reached religious minorities who face pressure and restrictions inside Iran.

You who asked Trump for help. Don’t come tomorrow and hold marches for the Iranian dead. The blood of the people killed in the war that Trump started is on your hands.”

OpenAI to work with Pentagon after Anthropic dropped by Trump over company’s ethics concerns
Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, announced the move on Friday night.

After an April 2024 visit at the facility, ICE’s acting director called GEO a “valued partner.”

The decision to impose new restrictions would be up to local housing authorities and private property owners who rent to people using a housing voucher, known as Section 8.

The Tudeh Party of Iran strongly condemns the aggressive attack by the criminal Israeli government and US imperialism against Iran!
Early this morning, our country was attacked by extensive missile and air strikes by the racist Israeli government and the United States. This blatant aggression against Iranian territory occurs while the Iranian and US government officials, with the mediation of regional countries, have been engaged in negotiations over the past few weeks to resolve disputes over Iran’s nuclear program. Donald Trump, in a video message announcing a “massive military” attack by the US on Iran, declared the goal of this attack to be the destruction of Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities and, at the same time, regime change in Iran. This aggression against Iranian soil, which will undoubtedly result in the loss of lives of our compatriots and the destruction of the country, has been welcomed by forces such as Reza Pahlavi and the Mujahedin-e Khalq, which is undoubtedly condemned by all the freedom-seeking and national forces of our country.

CP of Israel, CPI & Aljabha/Hadash condemn the Israeli-US aggression against Iran and warn of the dangers of a comprehensive war
The Communist Party of Israel & The Democratic Front for Peace & Equality (Aljabha/Hadash) condemn the war of aggression launched by Israel in the early hours of Saturday morning, February 28, against Iran, and affirm that this attack is a joint Israeli-American aggression, warning that it may ignite a large-scale regional or global war. CPI and Aljabha/Hadash reaffirm that Israel is not only an instrument of global American imperialism, but also a partner in it and in its efforts to impose American imperialist hegemony over the world and its natural and economic resources, and to subject all governments to US political and economic interests. This includes all parts of the world - especially the Middle East and Latin America.

Clean and quality controlled heroin, coke, speed, weed and psychedelics are preferable and more adaptable to therapeutic use than pharma shit in every conceivable way. Pharma drugs are just poor substitutes designed to minimize benefits and maximize desperation and dependency and therefore profits.

What do we do about the little Hitlerite problem?

The merits of the petite-bourgeoisie in national liberation struggles are debatable but in the imperial core small-business owners are nothing but the spear-tip of reaction.

So how do we as workers actually struggle against the small-business owners? It seems like there's no direct way of struggling against these assholes. I would like high taxes and tight labor regulations but that's a wish, not actual struggle. Boycotts are also pretty useless for the working class.

>>2709382
Some elements of the progressive petty-bourgeoisie can be salvaged as people if their sympathy with the proletarian cause (by coming from a proletarian environment) gives them the propensity towards ceding their property and uniting with the revolutionary Gewesenschaft. It's good praxis to reach out to these progressive PBs and groom them to be complicit and support the movement, hiring employees from the movement and being submissive to them.
Meanwhile the reactionary bourgeoisie can be sabotaged, vandalized and robbed of their livelihood until they are forced to fold.

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.
