Conscript, you replied;
Because your 'communism' is Eurasian-centric and you just finally decided to combine your East slavic opposition to Western values with (accordingly Orthodox) religious opposition to Western liberal-capitalism, basically.
No, it's pretty much a theological issue with me; I find that the ultimate earthly expression of Orthodox Christianity, would impel the 'Right Believer' in Christ's Church to become an actual Communist.
You can claim to be following these pre- 20th century figures,
I can and do; however you try to (perhaps unconciously) mute their effect by locking them in to a 'peculiar' time and place, an egregious historicism that moreover isn't particularly Marxist either.... As some of these men came before, during and after Marx's own time and place. If he still has something to say than....Why can't they?
but i dont think you can escape the stigma of essentially taking up a modern Eurasianist synthesis of two periods of Russian history.
Exactly why you are incorrect about what i'm trying to say, because that's not what i'm saying. If a Eurasianist agrees with me on Communism, I can't help but see the influence of Orthodoxy, as most of them were, but that hardly makes me buy the rest of what they were selling. I'm open minded, but not so much my brain falls out. I've read Dugin... I mean, wow, he's pretty nebulous and incomprehensible to me in most places where i've read him, and where he isn't, I find him Heterodox in relation to Orthodoxy in way too many areas.
Even if we accept you have nothing to do with any of this and are just taking the logical conclusion of Orthodoxy, do you even believe in statelessness, classlessness, commonly owned land and open borders, socially progressive values, and so on?
Ultimately yes, although I'd have to carefully define 'socially progressive values' as certain liberal bourgeosie ideas have crept in regarding this into the Left, those miserable 'Identity Politics' that has hamstrung the 'progressive forces' in the post-1917 era.
Or do you believe in some sort of religious social democracy (with a monarch) that's nice the poor and draws from anti-liberal, anti-Western periods in Russian history?There's a big difference.
No, Russian Orthodox Christianity got burned on these matters pretty bad, literally, and the State and World System are to be viewed with a jaundiced eye, to say the least. It is, as the 'Old Ritualist' Orthodox Christians said; 'Antichrist'.
If not the former, it's not communism and you are just doing the latter, which makes you as communist as a Eurasianist. As in, just a nationalist with a red flag and a Stalin portrait, but in your case also a bible and a double headed eagle.
God forbid!
Its good you mention Islam and capitalism. That is just another example of illiberal, state capitalism mixed with anti-democratic, anti-Western politics, which is what (russian) communism represents to you. Both draw on old history, just in your case that also features a red flag so you call yourself a communist.
No, not at all; I see Islam as the last and most perfect iteration of Reactionary Fascistic Capitalism, the sacralization of riches, wealth, class domination, warfare, and all manner or religious obscuritanism and imperialist barbarism. And more.
So there you have it, nothing contradicting secularist ideas on the matter that I can see, except a scholastic and frankly bourgeosie vestigial remnant of Atheism, which does no justice to Dialectical Materialism either, I might add.
