Except it’s all a distraction to keep us from having productive conversations and changes for our most important and progressive ideas. Instead of class consciousness we fight over which class deserves more, we allow ourselves to filibuster ourselves into stagnation

It’s every step of a prophetic eschatological worship system. A prophet writes a book, a Lawbringer. Said prophet declares the old gods and ways dead and lays out a new vision & eschatology abt a world w/o need or scarcity & where all are at peace under this 1 system, The Vision. He lays out a means to get there in a multistep plan to reach paradise and Enlighten the Masses via the Chosen few, Academics, and Overthrowing The Old World via Holy War.

does someone’s religion impact how much money you have in your pocket? someone’s religion is entirely immaterial to your material conditions and the sooner you realize that, the sooner you, and all americans can work towards a better future. religion, race, sexuality don’t impact the fact that most americans will have to work until they die, can’t afford any form of commodity because they’re too strapped trying to budget for food, gas/transportation, insurance.

He establishes a plan for a new ruling, priestly, managerial and subordinate classes, all through Specialized Language found prevalently in this book and throughout its history and by its adherents, most importantly, it claims not to be a religion, but the Way, Enlightenment, or the Revealed Truth, sharing semantic alignment w/ every other major religion on Earth

See, that’s the thing, u mention abolition of currency. While in most prophetic religions do actually have a staged form of this, for Communism, it just happens to be the core tenet of its escapism eschatology, additionally, the abolition of group identifiers and a coming together as a society of whatever the religious group is, IS Fairly common.

Yes, but your vision of paradise that liberates my children is my ideal of hell, alas: those who just want to be left alone are oft extinguished by the bringers of paradise

Except it was written intentionally about a fictional utopia and was never meant to be taken seriously, you could say that about capitalism, libertarianism, and fucking Lord of the Rings—actually my religion is Tolkienism
