  • So not only did you not address the question of what you think real and positive Amerikan culture is, you compared a colonized people (enslaved Afrikans) to Germans who relinquished their identity to become assimilated into white settler culture, and then when asked why you think you understand the material conditions in this country more than the people actually living here you decide to just run?

    You haven’t addressed any of the counter points to your arguments, just continued to assert that Amerikans have a culture when it’s been explained to you multiple times that they don’t because any and all culture of Amerika is based on white supremacy and capitalism, and then have the audacity to say that “I don’t think this is a materialist view” and accuse others of chauvinism.
















  • Also, how do we reconcile materialism and the militant atheism that’s been part of the foundation of ML parties with atheism being a bourgeois invention to flatten people into soulless automata?

    Because it’s not. Every single person at birth is atheist, you have to convince people to believe it. There’s no evidence of a “soul”.

    I’ve seen the downright miraculous transformations people have when they re-establish their relationship with God. It’s indisputable proof that God exists

    Unfortunately, this is exactly how all religion spreads: through testimony, not evidence. “I prayed and god did this thing for me/I felt better/felt his holy presence”, people go through these “miraculous transformations”, and that automatically means god exists, because I felt a thing and I read a book that said a thing.

    Why should anyone treat the material as primary, let alone all that exists?

    Because there’s no evidence for it otherwise.

    Yet, as far as I can tell, this is incompatible with Marxism-Leninism.

    That’s because it is. It’s just idealism, with no basis in reality and MLs work in material reality. I don’t understand people who try and shoehorn religion into MLism, it’s just cope. I guess you can fit anything into religion if you ignore all the parts about god being a genocidal monster, controlling women, etc. but at that point why even bother with it anymore? Again, just cope.

    only a fool says in his heart there is no God.

    I’d say a fool is one who is ready and willing to believe in unfalsifiable claims with insufficient evidence.
