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.
