No opiate of the masses for party members Agnosticsherbet May 2015 #1

I'd like to know where they got the quote from. rug May 2015 #2

It's not a giant leap just based on the opiate of the people quote Leontius May 2015 #4

Then that's the stupidest thing to come out of the CCP since Deng died. rug May 2015 #5

We'll just have to disagree the "opiate" is just as much or more so the substance as manner . Leontius May 2015 #11

Maybe from: Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 - Private Property and Communism Jim__ May 2015 #7

Yes, that seems the closest source. rug May 2015 #8

Disgraceful! hrmjustin May 2015 #6

Forecast isn't prophecy, brother rug Yorktown May 2015 #15

Neither is rank speculation. rug May 2015 #16

Wrong choice of words Yorktown May 2015 #17

The words precisely match the definition. rug May 2015 #18

Your acceptation of the word speculation is wrong Yorktown May 2015 #19

Horseshit. rug May 2015 #20

You are now making three mistakes Yorktown May 2015 #21

1 is demonstrably incorrect. rug May 2015 #22

please demonstrate 1 Yorktown May 2015 #23

1 I prefer not to root through your posts at the moment but it remains demonstrable. rug May 2015 #24

1 you say you can demonstrate it, but won't. Playing tennis without a net much? Yorktown May 2015 #33

1 So much for civil discssion. rug May 2015 #36

1 was a factual observation, and tennis without a net a descriptive image Yorktown May 2015 #39

1 I have yet to see you post a factual observation in this subthread. rug May 2015 #42

1- I factually observed some of your mistakes Yorktown May 2015 #45

1 Sure you did. rug May 2015 #47

OK, let's reset the game. Yorktown May 2015 #49

Do you think your religion will wane? hrmjustin May 2015 #29

No. Because it is the ultimate religion, the only true one. Yorktown May 2015 #34

oh ok. hrmjustin May 2015 #35

All the catholic saints? Yorktown May 2015 #43

There are about 10'000 RCC 'saints'. Do you revere them as holy people? Yorktown May 2015 #46

I don't pray to them but yes for the most part. hrmjustin May 2015 #48

OK, would you like to play a fun game? (one I tried) Yorktown May 2015 #52

No thank you. hrmjustin May 2015 #53

And yet, you said you believed in most of the RCC saints. Yorktown May 2015 #56

I am not that concerned about it. hrmjustin May 2015 #57

Bye. hrmjustin May 2015 #61

Well nil desperandum May 2015 #25

would this be an example of "atheistic-type fundamentalists" guillaumeb May 2015 #26

Fundamentalism does not apply to atheism. phil89 May 2015 #27

A careful reading will show that I actually said: guillaumeb May 2015 #28

Fundamentalism can apply to anything, and particularly cbayer May 2015 #30

The CCP disagrees. rug May 2015 #32

Marx was wrong about a lot of things. Warren Stupidity May 2015 #54

Idk about that. Some atheists are pretty fundamentally adhered to the claim that there is no God or afterlife. PoliticalPothead May 2015 #55

Nothing you said makes sense, because your entire premise is wrong. F4lconF16 Jun 2015 #62

Marx was referring to religion as being a tool of the capitalists. guillaumeb Jun 2015 #63

No, it can't Lordquinton Jun 2015 #64
