I beg to differ, slightly. Left-wing thought and religion have one big thing in common: fragmentation and infighting over how the sacred texts are to be interpreted. And that had and has a lot of explosive potential. How many heretics were burned and how many commies were killed as revisionists will likely never be known - the underlying zeal is of the same disturbing quality.
"haha just let us ignore the totalitarian intrusion into the daily lives of the citizens, shall we, because here, have some statistics about how nafo tried to destabilize the glorious ussr"
The same thing goes for every ideology. Social Democrats are seen as heretics by both libertarian capitalists and socialists. The idea of heresy isn't anything new; it's been adopted into secular politics under different vocabulary.
Actually... that was pretty interesting how the Soviets tried to deal with the massive housing shortage, which they never truly solved. These centrally planned and executed cities came in quite handy to alleviate some of that, plus from what I know, at least the mining/industrial town-subset of these planned urban centers did function as intended:
Listen to his other videos are actually criticizing the USSR and saying why it collapsed and why wasn't a good system of government he seems to be the type of Russian realize that the Soviet Union f***** his country up immensely.

I largerly agree with the post but I would argue with this.
This is what I mean. It does seem silly but it is explained that daemons can only be really hurt in close combat and that's reflected both in the story and on the tabletop.
That's because the authors who stuck to the satire were replaced by authors who saw the Space Marines the same way SW fans saw the Jedi. So they wrote in justifications for what the Imperium does. Even the older authors complained about that:
And it makes sense. People don't really give a shit about high-falutin Marxist ideology painting people like Thatcher as Nazis, but they do give a damn about action. So of course, the later crop of authors made the Space Marines and the Imperium seem more heroic because that gets the blood pumping and it moves books. Kind of like how most Watchmen fans don't give a damn about Alan Moore's parody of how superheroes can be fascist, they just want to see Rorschach break a guy for withholding information and telling him to piss off. Instead of seeing that as bad, they saw that as cool, especially since the alternative is believing in lies and accepting a world that spits at the very concept of decency.

Idk pal I find Xanderhal to be the worst as he is early 20s year old from a sheltered single mother household (clear Mommy issues with him dating a meth head 10 years older than him) while being extremely smug at the same time constantly begging for money because he never learned how to manage his bank account (he didn't even have a bank account during the Meth head breakup saga, he was solely using his PayPal).
Soviet housing was like this. They used a lot of material's in making stalinkas and kruchev blocs, and some of the better built blocs in major cities and small cities had schemes where a hundred or two hundred workers could all build their own building block. This allowed for some of the more personally built stalinkas and kruchev blocs to be nicer then some of the nicest apartments. You also tended to see these blocs in wealthier Eastern Europe and western Russia then you did in places like central Asia/Siberia.
Yeah some of the ridiculous trade policies enacted by Stalin and Lenin really made zero sense. You can't have coffee because it's counter revolutionary. Kruchev did get a quasi wake up to the economic failures of Communism during the 1950s visit to the US.
Saudi Arabia is wealthy solely because of its oil. Without it they'd still be living in tents in the desert. Their global hegemony is due to that black gold, so they have the wealth to do what they want.
The Janissaries themselves were smoked because they always posed a threat to the Sultan. They were Christian boys stolen from the Balkans under "devshirme", or a blood tax. In their later years of existence, fellow Turks could join. They refused to adapt to modern times and technology so the Sultan had them all killed.

I mean their ideology is a type of religion, a "secular religion" they like to say how they are materialistic and how religion is unecessary but that kinda of behaviour just proves that humans are naturally religious and need to belief in something and taking that way will just leave a vacuum that will be replaced with something else, like marxism. We are naturally religious and need religion.
Oh yes, absolutely. However, this is also why communism and the related nonsense always fails: it is not spiritual enough for the masses in the sense that their effort will be rewarded, either in this life or the next. It's all about some nebulous utopian society in which the individual means nothing. Every other religion in contrast talked directly to the believer, be it by the scripture handing out rules and often really good advice on how to be a good human, or be it via the 'priests' explaining details or doing what psychologists do today. In the holy texts of Marx and Lenin you will find nothing. Stalin had quippy oneliners, like that everyone had the right to be stupid and that some abused that right. And then you have materialist esoteric crap like Maoism or Juche. And it only gets much worse there...
The quote a famous economist wow socialist who doesn't understand basic economics
How can one be so retard? "If people do in their own terms" trucking can't be done in someone terms, its need to arrive in time so thats means driving non stop for hours and hours, its involve high speed highways. Society can't work if people do theses jobs or most job in their own terms. Do he really thinks that in the perfect gay commie paradise public infrastucture would be cleaned by a bunch of autistic that plays too much powerwash?
