    There’s some ML there, but for most regulars dialectical materialism and understanding of imperialism is sorely lacking and shallow. They also often have centrist and proreligious threads there.

        It is surprising in the place claiming to be marxist, i don’t mean the usual discussion about tactical relations to religion but massive apologia.

          Which again isn’t weird considering that this is very much the position of two of the hosts. I am not saying I necessarily agree with it but it makes complete sense for the subreddit to be like this.

          the CPC has allowed muslims to be members during large parts of china’s history and most members don’t consider themselves athiests in different polls that have been taken. other countries like afghanistan allowed people to be religious in their parties and theres video proof of many of them praying at mosques and such. its not as outlandish as you’d be lead to believe

            That is not correct, party statute demands atheism from their members. I suppose they might allow muslims to join as long as they would at least pretend, but i doubt they would allow things like open participation. Or they might look the other way at such violations, CPC was pretty full of corruption at times and i wouldn’t be surprised it still happens.

            About Afghanistan, maybe, but it did not helped them in a long run.

            And again, you make the same assumption as deprogram crowd, to confuse principles with tactics. It’s not outlandish, it’s “just” a mistake and a revision.

            While China is very lenient on religion and the freedom of religion is enjoyed as long as it’s free from imperial influences, it doesn’t allow CPC members to be adherents to religions officially though they are lax at times at upholding this.

            You may be thinking of North Korea which has a long history of Christians in its government since it’s inception.
