Yeah, definitely, but any good socialist state needs to be harsh on religion aswell. I extremely dislike this "tolerance" bullshit, I have no tolerance for ignorant belief systems, whether they be political like capitalism or religious like christianity or islam. Perhaps a good way to destroy organised religion would be to promote some sort of new religion. One with a strong emphasis on freedom, equality and socialist ideals, and that is more about spirituality than worship of a god. Despite my militant atheism, I do agree that spirituality is often good for human beings, it's the reactionary beliefs of many major religions that irritate me.

you said in the name change thread that you changed tendency, so what did you used to be?

I'm half Irish half Syrian. Tho I dont identify as a Muslim in any orthodox sense of the term, I personally deny the idea of a literal creator deity with a personality external from the physical world. My Islam is a combination of Shariati red shi'ism with some radical american black muslim nation of islam stuff. What tendency do you identify with?

Michigan......formerly known as Shariati.....found u kn the muslim socialists group.... Dare I say Salam-alaikum y'akhi?? Are u farsi? Mash'allah bro. Shia?

Shhhh! That will probably only happen if someone complains about it.

Then why didn't you- false socialist and two-faced oppurtunist that you are.

"oppurtunistic scum"- Bourgeois socialist? Well, I can't find a Marx reference for you because he didn't talk about circus clowns. If you have something to say, say it directly and to my face not like a cowardly little piece of shit.

Look up the word "abolished" and find out the difference.

What part of "until 1998" did you not "understand"? Re Cuba?

I think it should be embraced under Socialism. Of course, there are elements of decentralization that could work if operated properly, like in Venezuela where they're forming the decentralized, collective communes.
