It's a wall-to-wall journey and NATO is invited!

I thought of the Soviet Liberman.
Who is this disgusting creature in the mirror?
Reminds me of my disappointment with the recent Unlearning Economics video, where UE repeatedly talks about how bad planned economy supposedly is, despite it having provided probably the greatest improvements in the standards of living for people who were not beneficiaries of colonialism.

Also, let's not forget the Christian justification for chattel slavery and for why killing Muslim people is a-okay.
Not ones that claim that there are sadistic supernatural entities that we should worship if we do not want to get punished. And which are also weirdly fixated on subjugating women, LGBTQ people and other vulnerable groups, but are fine with literal slavery and genocides.
More generally, though, religion is fundamentally based on lies (whether the relevant claims are true or not, the people who confidently make them have no basis for those), and is, in a way, an opium for the people - a fundamentally not healthy way of coping with reality.
It can be compatible with communist movements - religion in general can be changed, as it always has done in service of the interests of the ruling class.
I am not a fan, though, as religious organisations/movements' existence fundamentally relies on people uncritically believing lies and they also generally seem to support reactionary policies regarding vulnerable people, most prominently women and LGBTQ people.
