Hate Mail - When You Know Enough To Know You Won't Revert To Your Former Thinking and You Still Haven't Told Me Why I Should Care What Reagan jr. Says

If you knew how big a role that the fact checking of the Communists and Marxists promoted as martyrs and heroes by the academic-show-biz left played in my disillusionment with atheism and that I see them as all part of the same thing,you would be shocked.  And the Marxists were just the most significant part of that, there were others.  What I found is there for anyone to find.  You might consider that the same facts of everything from knowing indifference of to approval of the mass murders of Marxism are there for anyone else to take seriously and come to a similar conclusion.

Pretending that Communists, Marxists don't have a record in mass murder and oppression that is right up there with the Nazis certainly is a bigger intellectual lapse than being skeptical of those things held sacred by current intellectual culture.  In my case,  my conclusion that natural selection is no more than an ideological and mistaken human invention that exists nowhere in nature.  Going up a step in the denial of actual reality, it's a far clearer and more obvious lapse of both the human head and the human heart than the denial that evolution is the best explanation of speciation as found in biological evidence.  It is far more on the order of intellectual dishonesty that is the denial of human-made climate change and environmental catastrophe caused by us.  It is a far greater lapse than the similar lapse that religion is sometimes guilty of, far more in the past than now,  of ignoring the far fewer murders committed in the name of religion.   I will point out that the murders committed in the name of Christianity and the other Abrahamic religions  have the distinct quality of being in conflict with central moral teachings of those religions, you can't claim that the murders of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, the Kim family, etc. were in conflict with any holding of Marxism, they certainly violate no durably held moral position found by atheism.  Violence, murderous, oppressive is an inherent feature of Marxism, no less than in Darwinism (the basis of Nazism), violence - often expressed in euphemistic words - is inherent to a Marxist conception of progress. 

Once your eyes are open, the result of looking at the primary documentary evidence and its character as expressed in the actual laboratory of history, of what such heroes said, what they knowingly either chose not to believe or to deny or to approve of, the illusion cast by novels, by Hollywood movies about the Hollywood 10, the scribbling class - academic industry in peddling such bullshit the whole thing is laid bare for you for good.  Lester Cole is no better than a Holocaust denier, he's their exact equal.  Sartre was a proponent of one of the worst mass murderers even as his murders were being committed and known to the world.  There's no going back, that part of my life is over, for good.  I can say that if I went back and looked at that stuff again that I'd see it in an entirely different light than I did when I was ignorant and stupid enough to buy it.  I go back and see a bunch of posturing hypocrites and liars just as I do when I look at those who want to peddle fascism and Nazism and other ideologies assigned the term "right wing" just as I do those who polluted Christianity with nationalism and the service of Mammon.

The idiotic notion which was a part of that, that either you chose the communist side or you chose the side of the Red Scare and the fascist intellectual opposition to communism, was part of the sucker duping of it.  YOU CAN REJECT THEM BOTH, YOU CAN REJECT ALL OF THEM BECAUSE ALL OF THEM ARE PEDDLING THE SAME STUFF,  GANGSTER GOVERNANCE, VIOLENCE, MURDER AND THE AMASSING OF WEALTH INTO THE HANDS OF THE MOST RUTHLESS OF THE GANGSTERS.   All of the academic bull shit that pretends there's anymore to it than that is a bunch of either incredibly stupid people with degrees writing it or they're base and servile appendages of the corruption looking for the pitiful crumbs of money and notice that come with service to gangster governance.  There are no worse of those than the ones whom make movies, write plays and books to that end.  Especially the ones that make the most money from it.  I have yet to find anything they have produced that isn't saturated with lies.  And, yes, to get to your point, organized atheism is an especially typical example of that, even those who are merely useful tools instead of knowing parts of it.
