    They also constructed, in entire country, comprehensive network of magical amulets and wards against the return of the god of dysentery, though godless commies call those “plumbing” and “healthcare”.

    Today while engaging in class struggle I summoned Ch’i-t’ien to try and weaken him so our struggle session would work better. He is so fucking powerful. I’m not at a power level to do this alone. I barely escaped with my life and I’m dialectically injured to a great amount, but I think I’ll make it. I can’t imagine what he would do to a new, unsuspecting maoist. I’m scared that I will have to face him again soon if I ever want to continue astral projecting. I’m currently reading the little red book and drawing marxist energy from my copy of Capital to try and heal as quickly as possible. Please be safe everyone. Ch’i-t’ien is much stronger than I first imagined and we will have to do this together if we want to slay a god.

    Honestly an important example for communism being anti-religious. This idea gets thrown around a lot as if it means communists will oppress you for being a Christian or something, but they don’t mention that there were fucking geomancers and mud idolatry cults taking people’s income to throw in the river to get a blessing and not die from drinking dirty water. This is still a huge issue all around the world, like in India with the Brahmin mafia needing to get cut in on everything that happens in society to just burn some incense and say some words or else everyone will be punished by this god or that god, or the so-called Hyenas in Malawi who are hired to sleep with kids after their first menstruation in order to “cleanse” them, or the Catholic church for, well everything they’ve done. It makes sense that communists would fight these things, and they are religious things, but it doesn’t have to mean that a communist must be anti-religious to fight specific examples of abuse from metaphysical thinking that they see around them.
