A Russian troll farm posted:

Well of course. If capital is the demiurge, and the capitalists the high priests and servants of Moloch, that implies there must be an opposite. As Moloch was created from the sum of the will of the bourgeoisie, a blind drive towards accumulation at all costs, perhaps God is the collective manifestation of mankind's better nature. Where Moloch is the will to dominate, to treat other people as tools to be used, then God is our drive to cooperate, the hatred of injustice, the will to liberate ourselves and our fellow humans.

Thus, the class struggle is not just physical, but spiritual. A holy crusade, and we communists are the faithful. Thus, Karl Marx was God's prophet, sent to light the way to liberation and to the fulfillment of mankind's promise.

But even if we are to fail, and the dialectic is broken once and for all, we can say at least that while our bodies were slaves to capital, our minds and souls remain free and we remain faithful to the true God, the god of love and fairness, of cooperation and justice, while the minds and souls of the capitalists are in the thrall of Moloch. I think you could call that a kind of spiritual salvation.

xeni says she was in a cult for over 25 years, but that the cult was just her and one other woman and their leader, and i mean, sure there's probably great perks to getting in on the ground floor of a cult and SOMEONE has to be the 1st or 2nd person to join, but you really should cut your losses after a few years without getting a third follower, imo. gotta appreciate the willingness to take a high risk, high reward gamble though, she's a true venture cultist.
