    Materialism vs idealism is different from materialism vs spirituality and magic. Not that you should think magic is real though.

      Yeah I think a lot of hexbears don't understand the meaning of materialism. I don't see a problem with having spiritual believes as long as you're not making your revolutionary praxis be sending good vibes telepathically to the npp . I think a lot of users here are le epic reddit atheists at heart still and think theyre right about everuthing because they saw the light of Marxism and having a more correct framework for the world than most people around you can make you a little cocky

        I agree. Also I think a lot of people these days are moving away from pure rationalist vulgar materialism as their sole guiding philosophy and bringing some kind of spiritual beliefs into their lives, which I see as a good thing. for me I found relying solely on the former to be unsatisfying. A lot of people have Anglo enlightenment brain and can't conceive that in all likelihood phenomena exist that can't be explained by our current understanding of e.g. physics or hard sciences. Saying spiritualism is anti Marxist is super reductive and pretty Reddit atheist brained like you say.
