I finally got my hands and an the article "We Soviet Wives" written by Anna Louise Strong in 1934, talking more on the roles of women in Soviet marriages!let...
She is not an honest actor though. Likes to twist history into supporting her own beliefs which at the time revolves around Islam (she is a convert, wasn’t born into it).
There is, you get a pass for being born into it. If you actually are delusional enough to convert into it, then I don’t think you were Materialist in the first place.
Lmao its on the tip of my tongue… isla, islama, islamapho… Angloid. It’s white boys, that what I couldn’t remember 🤣 (it’s not a white Anglo exclusive thing, that was a joke, but it’s a narrative pushed by these countries for no other reason than solidifying the Christian/capitalist status quo and that’s not inaccurate. Most angloid politicians are Christian so their demonisation of Islam tracks hard not to mention all the benefits to creating a new scapegoat and demonising others does to satisfy imperial desires).
Islamaphobia is reactionary af regardless of where its coming from. Either you’re a bigot or you’re a clown who gorges themselves on western propaganda.
Am I a fan of organised religion? Lmao no its shit and one of the judeo religions ruined my life but to tarnish all victimised groups with the Anglo narrative brush seems reductive at best and downright racist at worst.
“Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?”
There is some nuance but still pretty much the same as the rest of the mainstream. That is why people get a pass when they are born into it.
You can believe anything in politics or economics, it is just really weird that you find yourself believing in non-material entities when you claim to be a Marxist.
This is just a tired argument I’ve been hearing since forever. X was Christian so X couldn’t have been a scientist/doctor/whatever accordingly, right?
No. If you claim to have a Materialist understanding of reality then that is at odds with your beliefs. People can be born into these systems and also have some cultural baggage which, again, is why you get a pass when are born into it. CHOOSHING to belief is a voluntary decision that you are making and deserves to be called out.
There’s no material evidence for or against a god, or any supernatural, that’s irrelevant however. Anyone who recognizes that human material life is solely between humans and the material, and that change needs to be brought about through human interaction with the material world, then they are a Materialist. You don’t know an individuals personal beliefs, it’s also none of your business. If they apply a material analysis that benefits the revolution, they are Materialist and they are Marxist. Their individual contradictions are up to them to resolve, we all have them, even us atheists.
You’ve picked one trait of an individuals character to discredit them. You are clearly the Idealist here.
Will check out later, I love socialist anecdotal evidence a lot, it isn’t what first changed my mind but it’s what built my faith in it
The one that will always get me is the soviet time capsule.
Hail to the people who dont know war or disease… 😭😭😭😭

There’s no difference between Muslims who are converted or born into it.

I wonder if there’s a word for someone who discounts everything a person says simply because they are Muslim. Hmmmmmmm

It’s not that she is a Muslim, Muslim is really a tangent to her character being dishonest in portraying history.
If it’s not that she’s a Muslim then why is that something you decided to bring up three times as your main proof that she’s not trustworthy?
“delusional enough to convert into it” is pretty fucking clearly islamaphobia, and no amount of “materialism” makes that less true pal.
Because that is one huge red flag that should really raise your eyebrow.
Yeah, you’re absolutely right, islamaphobia is a giant red flag, as is someone calling other people delusional for their faiths.
Is there something about Islam that sets it apart from other faiths?
Is there something about religion that prevents materialist understandings of political-economy?

Does Marxism seek to explain the cosmos, or just human civilization?
Newton was Christian and Einstein was Jewish, did their faiths prevent them from studying the world scientifically? No.
