Don’t get me wrong, I know Anton LaVey is a huge piece of shit regarding his flirtations with fascist attitudes and eugenics. I’ve known a few of them and they tend to have straight up obnoxious opinions on communists despite the fact that we both share a lot of the same criticisms of religion. Then there’s LaVeyanist groups attacking leftist groups as well.
Generally, it seems like there’s a lot of left-leaning ones with a good mass of reactionaries with a anti-theist bend. Is there a reason the anti-communism comes into play here though?
Could also purely be anecdote. Reason I post is because I’m curious on the thoughts you all have.
For the little I’ve learned about LaVeyanism it seemed to me that their ideology/religion was very individualistic and egotistic. Although it serves the purpose to ridicule the typical US Christian hypocrisy, I think their credo is pretty much aligned with far right wing views of society, including capitalism. So, it makes total sense they are anti-communists.
