Is it possible to be a Christian and be a communist I know Huey Newton was a Christian and a communist, but do you think it’s possible to still be one? I know there’s a lot of Muslim communist like haz
>>2640816Tell me why you think you cannot be both
yes
Absolutely not.
You can't believe in equality on earth while preaching tyranny in heaven.
nothing is stopping people from having incoherent beliefs like islamic communism and christian communism. ever since the tradcath memes became popular online you will find the likes of 'im a catholic communist' 'i'm an orthodox reactionary' 'i'm a clerical fascist'
>>2640816Yes. Is it self-contradictory both historically and logically? Yes.
>>2640848Yeah, still makes no sense though. Materialism and Christian idealism don't mesh well.
>>2640816Consensus reality is dead and nothing really means anything anymore, so sure.
Yeah, Im not christian but there have been many Christian communists in the past.
>>2640816I don't care. Religion has money and power and communists need both.
>>2640816>Muslim communist like hazhaz is a jew
You know what, let's go further.
0) "Being a communist" is vague; the word has many fitting definitions.
- If I sincerely believe we should create a communist society but do nothing but post online about it, am I a communist? Ideologically, sure! Practically, not really.
- If instead, I were an anti-communist fanatic unwittingly damaging their movement out of stupidity and enabling the rise of communists, am I a communist? Ideologically, no. Practically, yes, more than the previous example. If we take that definition, Tsar Nicholas would be called one!
1) Having incorrect ideas or even being a shit person does not contradict "being a communist". I'm not saying that such people are therefore acceptable or tolerable in our movements. But Carlos Marcus calling someone a jewish nigger doesn't change whether or not they're a communist. One can sincerely believe in and work towards communism while being a dishonest racist misogynistic homophobic cheating sexual abuser landlord; those things introduce practical problems that would likely necessitate kicking them out of the movement, but they don't change whether or not someone is a communist.
>>2640847>TyrannyYou're thinking of God like a corrupt de.generate monarch but what if I told you Heaven is just the Central Planner (God) operating everything smoothly? God cannot be bribed or corrupted or selfish.
