It's kind of ironic how Fraudbear mentions the destruction of religion even though Communism is an atheist ideology.

Meaning what?
Meaning that he’s accusing capitalism of destroying religious values even though his own ideology is one of atheism?

Communism replaces the notion of a god watching over you with an actual persona as a god (Our dear leader).

We were arguing about Capitalism and culture. These faggots just like to move the goalposts.
Your vocabulary honestly makes you look 12 and that you've just learnt a naughty word that you're trying to impress your mates with.

And you think religion flourished in the Soviet Union? Free speech certainly died when the Communists came to power. There’s some equality for you.

Yeah and do you know anything about the Orthodox Russian Church in the early 20th century? Most peasants saw the church as a corrupt institutions from the days of the Tsar. The main campaign against religion finished in 1941. Under Kruschev, you were free to be a member and practice any faith, but it was discouraged by the State.

Islam in Central Asia was also equally retrograde shit. No regrets there.
You chat so much shite it’s unreal. Just because the institution that was replaced was bad that doesn’t make the replacement good. The Soviet Union was a dictatorship without free speech (not religion) led by an oppressive regime that murdered millions of its own people. Nice to see that you support that.

Socialism has been tried and failed all through out history and its ideas are the anathema of what you people fight for.
But we are not talking about Socialism. We are talking about the erosion of culture under Capitalism. Not an argument.

I did address your points in a general manner. You're correct on the last one, though. It's not supposed to be an argument but more of a jab (Should have separated it)

I always wondered why people in the West want communism so badly when the people that actually lived under it do everything to escape it. :thinking:

The fact we can't really tell is worrying
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.
