    I was recently looking up statistics on secular thinking world wide. I came across this one reference that stated that communist countries are may aswell be consedered religious because "communism is a religion in the sociological sence".

    Any thoughts? arguments?
    As an Anarchist, I strangely find myself getting along better with Maoists than Platformists!

    As for that, I think the fools are hinting to mean that we are "dedicadated" to our religion as of blind faith. That is not the case. Unlike religion, there is nothing metaphysicial about it so it is impossible and totally unnessecarry to "believe" in it, but you might "hope" for it and fight for it, in that way. Unlike religious people, we have -reasons- for promoting Communism. Some even have a scientific back-up: They are DEFINATELY not doing it "just because" they need a strong ideology. It isn't. You might say that about any ideology with ideologists. What about those who are critic to Capitalism and then, trough analysis, dedicadate them to Communism as the only viable solution? Do you think Red Star is making theoretical papers and labelling himself "the worm of doubt" because he is following Leftism blindly? Hardly. But every ideology has it's share of "extremists" and "followers"....as far as you could call it that, it's fore-frontiersmen. And so? Is those who do the violent revolution too blindly following it because they're "dedicadated" and "extreme"? Bah...it says you should overthrow. Perhaps he had thought over it for a long time.

    Certainly where Cults of personality are installed, it can take on religious dimensions - the fear of a higher being watching you from all corners, the ignorant fervour of some mindless zealots but surely these examples are not real Communism.
