I am an atheist, but think it would enourmously benefit humanity on a superstructural level (and in turn, non-negligibly benefit humanity a material level) if, after Italian People's Socialist Republic annexes Vatican over the course of the world revolution, instead of trying to abolish the Catholic Church, we push our guy into the position of the Pope (Soviet Union had ultimately succeded in this with the head of Russian Orthodox Churh, even if only under Brezhnev) and get him to do these:
1)Use papal infallibility to officially condemn "Augustinian heresy" of every single person being automatically guilty of Adam's sin from birth and deserving of Hell. Proclaim that Augustine was posessed by demon hiding inside him since his Manichean phase when he had mistranslated Romans 5:12 to say that. Also condemn as part of Augustinian heresy the notion of Hell as Eternal Conscious Torment rather than… Yahweh's cosmic trash recycling plant where He destroys broken souls, perhaps even salvaging from them the bits and remains of His image for later re-use or something.
2)Use the papal infallibilty once more to proclaim that the End Times described in the Book of Revelations are largely the prophecy for the Second Temple's destruction in 70 AD in specific and the persecutions of Jews and early Christians by certain Roman emperors in general, and thus there are no "Antichirst 666 global dystopia" or Rapture awaiting humanity in the future whatsoever. The only prophecy from Revelations that is yet to happen is the second coming of Jesus for the Last Judgement after a millenium of global prosperity (which is a type of partial preterist postmilleniarism AFAIU)
3) Reinstate Holy Inquisition, but only againt those who would be against 1) and 2), especially against Evangelicals and Jehovah's Witnesses
>>2465722The Imperium of Man is probably partially based on Soviet Union and can be seen as a rather affectionate parody of it.
God Emperor on the Golden Throne = Lenin in the Mausoleum
Comissars = Chaplains
NKVD officers = Inquisitors
Think about that

>1)Use Orthodox marxism to officially condemn "Idealist revisionism" of every single person not being automatically guilty of Adam's sin from birth and deserving of Hell. Proclaim that Marx was posessed by Luther hiding inside him since his Atheist phase when called religion the opium of the masses. Also condemn as part of idealist revisionism the notion of Hell as Yahweh's cosmic trash recycling plant where He destroys broken souls, perhaps even salvaging from them the bits and remains of His image for later re-use or something instead of Eternal Conscious Tourment
