like new age cults and cults of personality

yeah

not really
look at Hoxha's Albania and modern China

they never really stop

i mean there is even a sort of revival of it in china

with more state sanctioned stuff

revival of buddhism

yes but they only use that for indoctrination

don't know about albania

CCP Buddhism and actual Tibetan Buddhism are probably extremely different

Albania banned all religion under Hoxha in the cold war

like state mandated atheism

just know about the ussr at large

how they stopped actively suppressing religion

and in some places even encourage it

USSR was very anti religion until later when they started to allow it
USSR was very brutal in their supression

they exiled many entire nations to Siberia,including Chechens,Kalmyks(Mongol descended Buddhists in south-western Russia) etc etc...

ehh, i mean in so far as limited circumstances and being against it, like they didn't follow through

they would if they could

perhaps because it was too costly

but they didn't have the time,manpower and resources yes

or whether it's still useful as a political tool or both

pretty much every communist state persecuted religion

in Albania they banned it completely
In Yugoslavia they persecuted it,especially Catholicism and Islam for complicated reasons I don't wanna get into rn
in China they edit the Bible,put Uyghurs in concentration camps,don't even get me started on Inner Mongolian and Tibet,they litteraly organ harvest Falun Gong members

guess another reason to legalize voluntary organ sales heh

look up organ harvesting and transplant tourism in China
Insane shit lmao

i mean can't blame people who do it if they are dying

terrible thing

like holy fuck they have no shame

the cpp you mean

yes

its super obvious

hey you can't tell on the net heh

extremely short waiting time
They even encourage people to go to China and get transplants

i was thinking whether you were reffering to people who do it

no

I get it
Especially if ur dying,its good

like I'd rather my kidneys be used by someone that needs them and then eaten than having them inside of me when I'm in a coffin

then eaten?

huh

they're going to decompose either way,sooner or later,but if you donate them at least they're gonna be used by someone who needs them
