Is the same now tbh

But USA and EU is imperialist

Yeah you can argue that it was tactics, but Lenin still never enforced anti-religion laws. He knew it would have been political suicide

Whereas Stalin shut down churches and mosques and actively forced it on the people

Communism is not inherently anti-religion

Well, they even reverted to neutrality with Christianity after some time, lel

but even so, I still don't think that a person has to be atheist to be leftwinged

yeah the did after a while

@olev It is.

It was Stalin's idea to support sovereignty of Muslim states. He argued it with the Party for couple of years.

Many were against

@Firefly Meh, this is not my area to debate in since I have little knowledge of 11th-18th century conflicts, but I have a feeling that if the UK intervened within mouscouvy against islam, it would have been minimal at best.

then what happened between 1927 and 1941

why was there so much anti-religion enforced

@Deleted User UK inspired Turks to attack Russia. Twise

@Sn0w ❄ It is a core belief of socialism that religion was a form of oppression.

*is

No.

That's an opinion, not a fact

**Sigh**

That is the core belief of some **Socialists**

Not socialism

@Sn0w ❄ I'm not sure of the internal situation with Muslims tbh. I'm speaking of foreign policy. Stalin claimed that the primary tactic to make world revolution is by attracting Muslims by supporting their anti-Imperialist and anti-colonial resistance.

First of all

@Sn0w ❄ Yet why did lenin say it was a form of oppression? And why did stalin illegalize all religons?

The only core thing about socialism is social ownership

Socialism is not it's own mode of production, it's a range of different types

@Firefly Ohh, I was referring to the internal situation within the soviet union

@Sn0w ❄ Have no idea about it

I dont know about the foreign policies

@Deleted User again, their opinion. not facts

@Sn0w ☭ ❄#4209 So did you legit convert to sand niggerism?

@Firefly Holy shit, stalin had the right idea.

Sandniggerism!

@Deleted User It worked, yes.

and yeah, I'm a Muslim

@Sn0w ❄ Are you also ethnically muslim?

ethnically muslim
