Not reporting is bourgeois


 

1-Teleological narrative: Communism offers a worldview with a clear historical purpose, such as the class struggle culminating in a classless society, resembling the eschatological narratives of traditional religions (e.g., the idea of a "paradise" or "salvation"). The idealized "communist future" functions as a transcendent goal.
2-Dogmas and orthodoxy: Communism, especially in its Marxist-Leninist form, presents canonical texts (e.g., Capital or the Communist Manifesto) and a "correct" interpretation of history and society, with little room for dissent. This resembles the orthodoxy of organized religions.
3-Rituals and symbols: Communist movements often adopt rituals, such as celebrations of revolutionary dates, anthems, flags, and cults of personality (e.g., Lenin, Mao, or Che Guevara), which reinforce social cohesion and devotion to the cause, similar to religious practices.
4-Morality and sacrifice: Communism demands loyalty, personal sacrifice, and adherence to a moral code (e.g., proletarian solidarity), often prioritizing the collective over the individual, echoing the ethics of many religions.
5-Faith in transformation: The belief in a radical transformation of society, even in the face of contrary evidence or practical difficulties, can be compared to religious faith, particularly in its resistance to empirical questioning.

A non-teleological movement is impossible, non-teleology in practice is dementia.

here's a video about it

you also forgot the fact that you can be excommunicated or become an apostate.

don't care whether or not pseuds think communism is a religion. capitalism is unsustainable.

>bad

>>2502512
capitalism turns into fascism and fascism turns into capitalism

Agreed. Communists don't want to admit they are following a religion. An atheistic religion but nonetheless a religion that implies control over ones thoughts. By itself marxism is not a religion but communists make it into. Ayn randism is also a religion. Bioshock 1 was an example of said religion and it was scary. Atomic heart is also an example of that. Diamond dogs outer heaven from MGS is also a religion. Play MGSV again and you will see how you are running a cult.

>>2502518
Fascism isn't an economic system. It's a form of governance.

what wouldn't be civic religion by these criteria?

>>2502536
capitalism is also a form of governance

>You shouldn't organize because that makes you a religion.

Fine whatever, you won't be welcomed into the proletarian paradise where class no longer exist and we have star trek replicators in less you repent and make a hundred mudpies.

Anything that is not taken seriously, usually where transactionism is dominant. Qanon is also a religion.

are you a traditionalist by any chance

Are you a transwoman?

>>2502966
Yes. The more things change, the more they stay the same. (Not OP tho)

>>2502522
>atheistic religion
No ammount of smugness will ever make that term true

>>2503854
tbh whenever I hear shit like that it just comes off as religious and spiritual mfers that cannot or will not wrap there head around the concept that other people just aren't religious and don't have a pathological need for faith

ok redtard lmao

communism is a *slavic religion

>>2503945
You mean chinese

Communism is the syncretic religion formed from Jewish Kabbala, German Pagan Warrior Spirit, Roman Regal Christianity and French Celtic Druidism, all converted into their secular mirror image. It's only England's Spirit that is not included in any way or form which is why Anglos of all forms are antithetical to communism and must be destroyed

>>2503949
>belief in woowoo nonsense and idealism devolves into racial essentialism
many such cases

>>2503821
least relevant question you could have asked OP

>>2503854
i swear religious studies invented the concept of secular/civic religion just to deliberately conflate idealist dogma with materialist doctrine.

Communism is a failed pseudo-theology but I'm not going to say its a civic religion. There's a tendency to try and expose your opponents by exposing their beliefs as secretly religious and therefore not real politics etc. and this came from conservatives like Vogelin in the 1930s. Secularism is Christianity in denial. Its the name Christianity rebranded itself under while branding non-Christian beliefs as "religions" i.e. private delusions that should play no role in social life. Civic religion gets used the same way, anything that isn't liberal gets branded a religion.

>>2503949
No. Here are the sources and components. Not… whatever you are saying.

>>2504039
It is relevant. I like calling out trccns and spotting them through their posts

>>2504044
>Communism is a failed pseudo-theology but I'm not going to say its a civic religion
how generous of you, a person who doesn't know what he's talking about, and whose idiotic opinion does not matter, to "grant" Communists the magnanimous favor of not slandering communism as a civic religion, while simultaneously, and nevertheless, seeing communism as a "failed pseudo-theology."

Would you like communism more if it was a successful real theology? Because last time I checked theology was a tool for manipulating the masses into obeying the ruling class.

>>2502966
>are you a traditionalist by any chance
im not, dont even know what i believe, just think communists are disingenuous.
>>2503821
>Are you a transwoman?
no

>>2504173
You don't have a supernatural ability to predict who is and isn't trans by reading their words online. You are just a bigoted reactionary out on a witch hunt.

I want to write a rebuttal, but it would be hard to do so on a site where like 70% of userbase actually treats communism that way.

>>2504177
>no
that doesn't matter. that anon has decided you are. and that anon's opinion matters more to that anon than your denials.

>>2504180
>70%
vibes based pulling numbers out of your ass.

>>2504180
the rebuttal is simple: that some people are gonna do the shit OP described with literally any belief or ideology and while annoying is not the same thing as religion.

>>2504189
Yeah, that is pretty much what I was getting at with my comment.

>>2504173
even thou its a systematic feature of an ideology who claims to be cientific

>>2504179
I am fine with whole human race dying if it means trccns be gone too. I am fine with dying myself. We are all already trccns.

>>2504179
I think you are a trccn

>>2504201
what if you are the trccn

>>2504204
Then it is based and we should trccnify and transhumanise whole world and cut off cis mens cock and balls and have sex with their wives and gfs and cuck them and impregnate them. If i am a trccn i am a monstrous big cock futa monster who steals mens girls by fucking them.

Typical response of a cissy cuck soyshit. You will be cucked by trccns o algo

>Typical response of a cissy cuck soyshit. You will be cucked by trccns o algo

>>2502499
>Teleological
Misinterpretation of Marxism, though it is a usefull one and I am not going to actively stop it among the masses
>Dogmas and orthodoxy
Sure to some extend. But all ideological frameworks have a canon, and this canon is ever shifting to support cohesion.
>Symbols and rituals
Ok and? Isn't it more that religion is ritual with superstition, rather than ritual being religious? Is celebrating your birthday a religious thing?
>Faith in transformation
To accuse the slave of being religious in his belief that he must free himself and his drive that one day his people will be free, is the height of misanthropic intellectualism.

>>2505460
Forgot
>Morality and sacrifice
This is actually just a fundamental building block of human society, miss Thatcher. Adherence to behaviour that protects the in group and sacrifice for the in group is basic human behaviour.
Everything you listed as "religious" is actually just things that religion has incorporated.

>>2504201
If I deny your accusation, it just feeds you. What does it matter whether I am or not?

Spoiler, I'm not.

>>2505471
Why are you so bigoted?

>>2502499
Things I've heard called religion: sports, environmentalism, celebrity worship, patriotism, atheism, drug culture, love, the concept of luck, Capitalism (a "real god"). If true why should I care? Sounds like the human mind is primed for religion then.
