dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

And, yeah, didn't mean to ask about Stalin's own religious beliefs, if any, but more like his thought or actions generally.

Hmm not to my knowledge besides various apocryphals. Dude was absurdly busy with running the government on top of his own personal projects, his reading, his job socializing obligations, his drinking and cinema watching, and his family. Only thing I'd say was a real remnant of his religious-priestly education of his youth was his absolute voracious appetite for reading and learning.

Yeah, that's a shame, I would love to read his critique of religion. I'm sure it would be really beautiful and dialectical. Same as I'm sure his beliefs were.

Indeed. Maybe if he had a few more years to decompress and write whatever he liked he mightve decided to write on something other than exclusively economics.
