It's logical and obvious that Judaism as a religion is involved and complicit ideologically. Do you think that we sing "Next year in Jerusalem" at the end of Passover seder for vibes? Come on.
If religious Judaism was not the basis for Zionism, why did they choose to settle in Palestine? Furthermore, why do they call their state by a name that is only used in religious texts? Furthermore, why is the continued existence of the state based upon a promise made in it?
“Communists” who think that religion is solely responsible for nation-states and imperialism and not the materialist base upon which the superstructure is built. Most zionists are secular zionists anyway.
@print__head Dawkins says this because he's a right-winger who sees Christianity as necessary for social cohesion tbh, i don't think any Marxist could seriously say that kind of thing considering that it goes against the whole worldview. That being said there def is some favoritism
@lukeisamazing Not even sure why Christians idolize these guys so much considering that they were clowned on so hard by the Muslim armies that they were reduced to essentially pirates and slave traders on obscure Greek islands during the Renaissance
@natemaklocklin@endymion001@harbingerofwoke This argument is primarily taking place because an ex-Muslim atheist was expelled from the NYC DSA. Whatever oppression the "religious left" faces in the DSA is completely imaginary, meanwhile.
@ZedSoxs@HidehiroAnto They were right-wing to begin with, they simply paraded hating on the evangelical right because they were the easy target of the time. That has nothing to do with being an atheist on principle. The idea that all atheists are on the path to being right wingers is patently false.
"The American left" has never accomplished anything of note, why should any serious communist betray their principles to please them? Where were these religious socialists when Roe was overturned?
@changingstar0@harbingerofwoke 1, religious socialist make a huge percentage of the American left. 2, The historical relevence of liberation theology has fundementally shaped American socialism. 3, you eatablish yourself against personal freedom of belief to the average worker.
