Thanks for replying for the first time ever

@Машенька 🐻 welcome!

Thanks @Red Ricardo 😃

Are you from Russia?

@Машенька 🐻 always welcome! Are you interested in politics by any chance?

Yes very much actually

@Машенька 🐻 what draws you into politics, and how much did you study about USSR and the idea of socialism?

Umm well I’m actually studying pharmacology but for some reason I have this love and interest for politics, I read a lot about the idea of socialism and the ussr also liberalism.

Can’t find someone chill to have a conversation with though because most of the time they get all pissed if they oppose to my opinions

Well, and now you found me here

Thats great, can’t really find people like this most of the time

What do you think about Juche?

@Машенька 🐻

Wait who’s that

People r making a de facto religion out of it, it’s like false advertisement but you realize it was after you die 😄

A friend on vkontakte

Oh

Religion out of what?

And btw I think I’m the only one that doesn’t use vk

The idea of Juche, commitment and immortality

@Машенька 🐻 What's wrong about a little religion here and there?

A religion out of a political ideology is absurd

Why is it absurd?

Lenin thought we shall not exercise religion and nobody did.

What follows? Nobody believes in anything really

Apathy follows

Negligence

and rotting

Soviet Union had no chance

Lunacharski and Bogdanov warned Lenin about that

If you lack beliefs you become neutral politically.

You can’t just make something up so people can follow what you say and promise them with things that are never going to happen. Using religion to gain power/be listened to is just stupid. People realize it’s just all nonsense and then you got people rebelling or running away

People rebel faster without an ideal

That’s because they’re suppressed and they can’t really rebel

You see people trying to flee the country because they can’t rebel, they can’t fight for their rights

What holds people from a rebellion if not an ideal?

People need an ideal

They have a need to idealize as well

It's how brain works
