Reader comments about this quote:

The truth. -- Guy, Leningrad
Socialism is the bold statement of the revolutionary individual, the heart of the genuine gentleman or lady. As the gentleman moves well intended the entire community is thrust forward. -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 1
Marx learned well from his father. He fashioned his new religion after his interpretation of Christianity. “⋯ Socialism is a religion. All we lack is a religious genius capable of uprooting outmoded religious practices and putting new ones in their place. We lack traditions and ritual. ⋯ My Party is my church, and I believe I serve the Lord best if I do his will, and liberate my oppressed people from the fetters of slavery. That is my gospel.” (Joseph Goebbels, October 16, 1928 Diary entry) Socialism is a soulless, heartless and oppressing religion with the inorganic phantasm (government) replacing other gods. No matter socialism’s religious ordering (communism, fascism, progressivism, wokeism, etc.), it is a diseased religion that degradation all elements of the human experience. -- Mike, Norwalk 1
oops, Socialism is a diseased religion that denigrates all elements of the human experience. -- Mike, Norwalk
