    You know christian “communism” is a thing right? Amy Coney Barret was raised in a Catholic Commune Cult. They love this shit. They say “we want to live like Jesus’s disciples,” and then set up their own patriarchal fiefdoms and don’t pay taxes.

    Socialism isn’t when sharing. This won’t even work to piss off a conservative who has half a brain and they would be just as correct in refuting it. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some liberation gospel, but people should really study some socialist literature, preferably Marx/Engels.

        Because religion for the rich is different than religion for the poor.

        Also cognitive dissonance doesn’t explain much, its a thought terminating explainer for people who can’t deal with contradiction. We shouldnt stop analyzing when we discover contradictions, that’s when real analysis begins

      Alternatively there’s the Catholic workers who don’t discuss abortion because they all agree their position on it is obvious, shame they can’t agree on what that obvious position is. They’re actually leftists, and they’re often among the first to risk personal harm when necessary.

        They can be, I agree catholic workers are some of the kindest, most loving and open hearted people; but people from the professional class can be some of the most conservative psychos this foul culture is capable of producing. Remember the Federalist society, at the heart of the conspiracy to turn our courts into a blatant apparatus of class war, is a Catholic organization.

        So as in a lot of cases, ideology is more of a class thing. There’s religion for the rich and, religion for the poor and they are very different
