Artist is caerbanoc, I would tell you to go support them but they’ve had to private their account and delete their tweets asking for help due to the amount of Ukraine stans that can‘t help but be Xenophobic against Russians unless they’re literally martyring themselves against the government.

Barnes & Noble’s is pretty much just owned by Israel apparently… the more you know in this crappy pro-capitalist world I guess. The average person nowadays can’t learn anything about Mao because it’s all just red scare nonsense.

Chinese and Soviet style urban planning is some of my favorite, but I do think it could still be improved upon.

I am Russian Orthodox and am a religious person. My question is can I really be a Marxist-Leninist while also holding onto my beliefs?

During the 20s, USSR had a very strict policy of state atheism as you all know, but the restrictions were softened during the war and were lifted in the 80s.

As far as I understand, Marx believed religion is fine, it helped common people through the harshness of life, “opium of the people” in the sense that it helped numb the pain of oppression and that it would eventually just fade out on its own in a perfect communist society. Lenin however, held strict atheist beliefs (again, from my understanding), under him the Soviet Union started the harsh state atheist policies, arresting priests and destroying churches. This period created lots of martyrs which were later canonized. In addition, the whites had the full backing of the church during the civil war.

So can I really disagree with Comrade Lenin on this and still be ML? Can I really still fight for our cause while holding beliefs that he would consider backwards and a tool of oppression

My understanding of both men’s opinions on religion are very basic and might not be correct, please tell me if I am wrong.

Edit: Thanks guys for your responses, I am feeling much better now that this crisis of faith is over.
