First, I don’t know where I have to put this kind of question on Lemmy so I’m asking it here. Marx viewed religion as a negative force, often referring to it as the ‘opiate of the masses.’ If someone is religious and also identifies as a Marxist, do you think that’s contradictory, or is it just a matter of mislabeling themselves? Would it be more accurate for them to call themselves a socialist instead of a Marxist?

    There’s nothing wrong with religion per se. If it helps someone deal with existential dread, all the power to them.

    i’d agree on this since i have no control over it. but do you think they’re will still be called as marxist? let me get this clear :D
