Yeah, but the organization is the religion. Why should we violate our religious rights?


I disagree with this premise. Organisation isn't religion. Simple number of people believing in deities is religion. Destroying of organisation isn't violating religious rights.
Burning Bibles would be oppression. Beating or killing people for praying would be goddamn big oppression. To not allow priests to be priests would be oppression.

But they can be priests. But only in his/her free time. I love sci-fi, but I also must watch Babylon 5 in free time, after work, as anyone else.

You know throughout history, I'm really sure with the slavery and child workers, to any wage at all, that the labour unions helped the people. That's obviously why the state must have stepped in and outlaw those things, because the unions were doing such a good job.

Even in modern times, if we removed regulations and allowed for complete negotiations like that, many like in the fast food industry would be screwed. I mean, it's hard to find a job right now. Businesses could use that and force workers into checkpoint, into compliance with lower standards.

Or the businesses could turn into a Monopoly and just collectively screw over workers for extra profit and lower standards.

Well it seems to be working in Sweden, where the average monthly wage is 2321 Euros....which is about 3180 dollars.....The Swedes have much better working conditions than Americans :P

I prefer Titoism, since it is the closest to Marxism in practice, although I am fascinated by Hoxhaism.

That's right, free speech shouldn't cover totally everything, like serious believing in fairytales and talking dead guys as way to promote it.

Why should religious belief not be allowed? That's completely ridiculous.


Let people praying is something different from let people yelling on others nearby Abortion Clinics that they go in Hell and they should die painfully.

There is no minimum wage in Sweden. They operate off of Union negotiation.

Like destroying NSDAP and ban on nazis symbols was violation of political freedom. Seems legit. Ok.

The overwhelming amount of incidents leads me to conclude that their use is directly linked with the harm of others.

Ideally, Communism as Marx envisioned it. Realistically, somebody's gotta be in charge so, his views were a wee bit too utopian. Communism in practice, the best form's gotta be Maoism.

Considering the NSDAP was based on right-wing, authoritarian, anti-semitism while the other is based on different forms of Christianity, has been around a lot longer, has a very high variety in members, and has done good.

Just do not force communism on others by the use of statist or authoritarian means.

In almost every single country that currently has capitalism, the capitalist system was imposed by force (either by a local government or foreign invaders) and the people were never asked if they wanted it or not.

So no, you don't get to say "now that we've forced capitalism on most of the world by the use of statist and authoritarian means, you're not allowed to force communism on others by the use of statist or authoritarian means."

Communists should spread communism using the exact same methods that capitalists used to spread capitalism. You conquered the world by force of arms. You don't get to complain about our tanks, hypocrite.

Catholic Church didn't any good. Or better to say, good things are highly overshadowed by darkness of crusades, retrograde, corrupted policy, inquisitors sometimes even worse than any Sturmbannfuhrer SS and more than often power-hungry overzealous Popes, Cardinals and Bishops. And only because they couldn't stop People to destroy them now, they play nice.

just a note: LOL, and what do you think is typical Catholic priest? Right-wing, authoritarian and anti-semite. like i said, they just play nice today, because they know their times of power are away.

so they at least try to have everything what they took from People in previous times.
I don't buy their game.
