I guess the Deprogram guys are the Three Stooges now? But the joke doesn’t really work

Are you even organized? Because this doesn't matter, you're not forced to become an atheist when you join a ML party and no one cares as long as you don't break democratic centralism and don't act like a reactionary. A lot of Marxists in South America and in the middle east are religious, no one gives a shit. You can also disagree with Marx and Engels on certain issues and still be a Marxist because, ironically, it's not a religion and Marx is not a prophet. Demanding this level of ideological purity from other people is silly and I'm not convinced it doesn't come from a western-centric and Islamophobic worldview, since you're basically dismissing a huge portion of comrades from the global periphery.

Edit: To add to this, I guess you also think Malcom X, all the liberation theology people and a huge portion of Cuba are "tailists", even though they probably have done more for the socialist than you have. I'm not religious either and I don't believe in god, but you're not going to win the hearts of the people by being a reddit atheist.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
