@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?
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.
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
If you take an ideal from them they suffer greatly
Let's not multiply their suffering
Yes they do I agree with you on that but they also need free speech, and rights as well. In some countries people can’t rebel otherwise they get killed literally. So they have to pretend that yes they do agree with their ideal 100% whereas they don’t.
Well, some people have no sense of a good measure
Most people
Is normal?
