If you live in an Islamic or communist society and you feel like somebody’s always watching you, you’re right because both systems demand it.
In revealing the commonalities of the Reds and the Greens in the Red-Green Axis, we have elucidated the shared goals of communists and Muslims, including violence, monopoly rule by elites, slaughter, etc. (See the full list of essays exposing these commonalities at the end of this article.) Here, we explore surveillance, informants, and social enforcement networks.
Islamic political systems and Marxist-Leninist communism both built what have, through the present, been permanent institutions for watching their own populations and enlisting ordinary members to report on one another. Neither could rely on voluntary conformity alone. Each system claims jurisdiction over belief and private conduct.
Ordinary law enforcement cannot reach that far into a household, so each ideology had to invent two further instruments: an office charged with monitoring public behavior and a wider practice of recruiting believers or citizens to inform on deviation among their neighbors, coworkers, and kin. This is not incidental to either project.
A system that claims comprehensive authority over conscience and conduct must continuously find out, at the level of the individual household, whether that authority is actually being honored. That requirement produces surveillance and informants as a matter of structural necessity, not administrative preference.
Writing in Abbasid Baghdad in the mid-eleventh century, the jurist Abu al-Hasan al-Mawardi (974–1058), in his treatise al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyya (The Ordinances of Government), set out the first systematic legal description of hisba, the caliphal office of commanding right and forbidding wrong, as a standing branch of government rather than a personal virtue.
Al-Mawardi’s muhtasib, the officer who carried out hisba, was unlike a judge: he could act on his own observation, without waiting for a plaintiff to bring

And the Reds think they will take out the Greens when the time is right. And visa versa.
Which has murdered more
And which controls more countries
Islam - more. About 270 million in 1400 years.
Communism - At a faster rate. About 100 - 150 million in the last 110 years.
"“We will be studying the deaths of 270 million Kafirs over 1400 years in jihad. That’s 60 million Christians, 80 million Hindus, 10 million Buddhists and 120 million Africans of varying religions.”
This itself cites Mohammed and the Unbelievers, Bill Warner, CSPI Publishing, 2010, pg. 160.
As EVIL TOTALITARIAN collectives go, Islam is #1.
Easily. Especially if you add in the number of enslaved.
A friend in Wales reports this yesterday:
“ Just spoke to my friend, he was on the beach with his girlfriend, smooching as you do, when he was approached by a Muslim woman in full garb who told him he was immoral and he should immediately stop. He told her politely to fuck off and mind her own business when he was surrounded by a bunch of men who made threats…
They are equivalent of morality police on their patrolling the beach in North Wales 😡😡😡”
