I advocate removing churches (all religions) after America has a socialist revolution. In Iran since the churches are part of the state, it certainly makes sense to remove them during the revolution.
Marx & Lenin would have eviscerated your ass for saying this bullshit. This is what happens when bozos learn about socialism from quotes and memes on social media instead of reading theory.

People confuse Marx's anti-religious stance with the position that the church needs to be actively liquidated. One of the legitimate problems of the soviet union was the question of how to decouple people from the church and its influence, and taking a more active approach in dismantling religious institutions backfired. This, thankfully, is a lesson well-learned by most ML orgs.
Are you really that fucking obtuse?
You take yourself far too seriously. It's really embarrassing to see
Not sure if people just repeat the same dumb thing because they saw it somewhere but Mosques are not part of the government in Iran.
Also if people started burning down religious buildings at every government change there would be exactly zero churches in the Middle East right now instead of the old monuments in Palestine.

There is no reason to actively liquidate churches, the development of the productive forces inherently leads to the withering of religion, taking an active posture against it causes more harm than good. I Active intervention is only neccesary when there is a religious leader trying to destabilize like the dalai lama.
