    Religious people are fine, but

    Please self crit.

    within the context of my country

    If you can't think beyond the stereotypes within your national borders, you're the problem.

      Oh no, how evil of me to think about the Catholic Church, the Opus Dei, El Yunque or La Conferencia Episcopal because people were talking about religion!!

      Maybe you should also understand why most communist movements in Europe, Russia or China have largely been secular.

        Yes. It is bigoted and evil to immediately resort to attacks on your assumptions of other people's beliefs when told to treat your comrades with respect.

        And seriously, how Eurocentric can you get?

          Oh, you want to stop my eurocentrism? ok i will.

          Meanwhile you go to Afghanistan and tell them that the fundamentalists propped up by the west are as valid as communists. Deal? I mean, it's not like differents religions in different countries requiere different approaches instead of blanket statements like "religion good" or "religion bad".

        No. One. Said. Anything. About Christianity.

        Yes, you need to self crit if you're generalizing this much. Yes, you need to self crit if you can't engage with people in good faith. Yes, you need to self crit if you think all religious people are right-wing Christians.

        You don't solve bigotry by being exclusionary.

        If your past trauma really prevents you from positively engaging with other human beings, you need to seek out a therapist.

            No one said North America. No one said you're home town. No one said White people. No one said Christianity.

            This is about the place of religious leftists in the leftist movement.

                Someone is telling you to tolerate other people in your movement. They're promoting inclusivity. That's all this thread is about.

                If you don't want to address the issue, that's fine. If you want to derail the discussion, you're being reactionary.
