Marxist fanatics cannot shout " Workers of the World Unite " and ridicule all religious working class people . That is not exactly " How to Win Friends and Influence People "

Marxist " vanguard party " organizations proudly displaying " enlightened " ( ? ) members' contempt for Christianity , for religion in general , for belief in God is one big reason that they stagnate decade after decade never coming anywhere near to winning the hearts and minds of potential " vanguard " working class people.  The biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM ( I speak as an independent democratic socialist ) . It was turning itself into global showcase for " official atheism " and dreary Stalinist tyranny.  I wonder how many " Clear " ( as in the Church of Scientology ) members of the Socialist Equality Party follow the New Atheism Cult New Hate group videos on You Tube . When I ask a groupie if he or she can apply their deified - and sophomoric - LOGIC & REASON to capitalism , American imperialism , and Israel Zionism I get the verbal equivalent of a blank stare or a snarky dismissing one liner : " Did you take your meds today ".  The New Atheism Cult slobbers over a number of celebrity scientists like astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and biologist Richard Dawkins. They are both capitalist Culture of Narcissism obnoxious Islamophobes in addition to being proud God haters .  Of course , it is much safer for the vociferous atheist scientist to throw rocks at God in Heaven than to apply " critical thinking " to the social system of their capitalist paymasters.  Does not the World Socialist Web Site see these vociferous New Atheists ubiquitous on You Tube as a front for the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party which never has a serious quarrel with capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ?  What chance do these creeps have of sparking a mass exodus from FAITH ? And not for nothing Marxist " vanguard party " organization have stagnated and degenerated for more than a century now. None of the elan of the turn of the century socialists. I do not recall the American socialist leader Eugene V. Debs denigrating God and Christianity to the masses . As far as I can tell there are no Debs in any Marxist " vanguard party " in the present era . They can't shout " Workers of the World Unite ! " and ridicule all RELIGIOUS working class people. That is not exactly " How to Win Friends and Influence People " !
