There are always layers and layers of communism.
Those whom I refer to as “sheeperals” would swear on all they believe to be holy that they did not support communism,
but they certainly support those who do support communism by allowing themselves to be duped into thinking their ideology actually helps people.
Those “on the inside” will never admit their ideology has failed, because to them, it hasn’t, they think “dialectically”. They just have to keep the sheeperal supporting them, though, by lying about the failures and “keeping hope alive” amongst those sheeperals.
The sheeperals can’t give up their vision because they’d be giving up their own sense of cosmic significance - it’s all they’ve got.
When you take G-D out of the equation and then try to replace it with the state..you get distorted and perverted values that pass for religion...hence the neo-paganism of AGW, political correctness, multiculturalism and the current cult of personality in DC....Since all those belief systems are false gods, they take it personally when we hit them with facts and logic and even worse...charge them with holding their political beliefs as religious values...
