The Left is Now the Right: We laughed at the Republican busybody who couldn't joke, declared war on dirty paintings, and peered through your bedroom window. Now that person has switched sides, and nobody's laughing

Atheism+ != atheism (and while we are at it marxism != atheism either)

cultural Marxism is repeating itself, despite having lead to the murder of hundreds of millions around the world

Classic marxism led to that, not cultural marxism. Do you reflexively add 'cultural' whenever you type 'Marxism'? lol

removing Christianity won't lead to some rational world where everyone is reasonable, thoughtful, and moral. It leads to SJWs, cancel culture blahblahblah

It's hard to argue with this as long as you correct one mistake: American mind needs something to replace religion with, not "human mind". Americans just replace one bullshit religion with another, Americans produce SJWs, cancel culture, witch hunts etc as a replacement to American religious nuts, "war on Christmas" and so on. This shit does exist in other countries but mostly as long as this disease spreads there from USA. If anything, modern american SJWs, trannies etc would have a (free!) mandatory psychiatric help in an atheistic Soviet Union.

lol you don't seem to understand that segmenting people by ascribed identity groups is equivalent to segmenting people by ascribed social class

I wasn't aware that the Soviets were Americans. Thanks, non-American poster.

You use a term "cultural Marxism" and don't understand that this very term exists to distinguish it from actual marxism? Do you think people add 'cultural' just for fun or something?

Soviets didn't "replace religion" with anything, they just separated the church from state.

I explained the difference, and therefore explained how they're nearly identical. Instead of class struggle you define your oppressor and victim groups via identity politics and intersectionality. I acknowledged the slight differences and it changes nothing in my argument (and hence why I didn't elaborate in the first place).

Fucking lying communist piece of shit. Get thrown in the Gulags. The Soviets gave tenners to religious adherents who wouldn't renounce the church. There were entire attempted revolutions fought over this, especially among devout old women. The bolsheviks required that everyone accept the supremacy of the prole dictatoriship, renounce religion (and especially religious authority), and dissolve any community worship. Those that refused were literally tortured, murdered, and worked to death.

Yes, so cultural marxism and classic marxism are two different things and you can't attribute whatever victim numbers you made up for latter to former, which was your argument initially. And they aren't equivalent which was your another argument.

Fucking lying communist piece of shit.

You are projecting about "fucking lying piece of shit" and simply wrong on "communist" part.

The Soviets gave tenners

Ten dollar bills? Anyway you are conflating murdering and blablahblah religious adherents and persecuting for being religious adherents. No one really gave shit about "renouncing the church" in gulag, a lot of remaining church members just happened to support the old regime (which is understandable, considering that the church was separated from the state and lost immense privileges) and that's what they were persecuted for.

"The revolutions of old devout women" is such a hilarious shit I can't really tell whether you butchered real facts out of ignorance or just completely made it up from own drunken ravings.

The bolsheviks required that everyone accept the supremacy of the prole dictatoriship, renounce religion

They didn't require everyone to renounce religion (taking about "fucking lying piece of shit"), and the church existed in USSR until the collapse of latter.

Edit: I just realized that you successfully moved the conversation to whatever problems of your education you are trying to patch up with Wikipedia, while actual point "Soviets didn't "replace religion" with anything" was unaddressed. Shame on me, I guess.

Thanks for demonstrating you don't know the first fucking thing about this
