hot take
everyone in this thread is projecting this to voting in the us but you could say the same things about people who write off Vietnam and China as capitalist because they arent pure communist
christian ideology of purity/sin/salvation/messiahs/etc is omnipresent in the west and highly affects people who wouldnt even think to call themselves evangelicals or christian
its rotting a lot of brains in ways people too rarely examine on themselves
Essay on this that from what I recall of reading it when it first dropped is pretty good, points out the contradiction of viewing Chinese Marxism as entagled with Confucianism, and Middle-Eastern Marxism as entagled with Islam, but ignoring Western Marxist tendencies and their entanglement in Christianity.
I find Red Sails very good both in their original content and in republishing old and possibly less known texts with some commentary.
Though I feel like I should say that it is an explicitly ML website that is dismissive/hostile towards anarchists and other tendencies like trots, its usually not their primary focus but it will come up in essays and in introductions for republished texts, just so people here are aware and don't get surprised by it.

Thanks for future reading material during my shift, comrade!
