> Classifying communism as a monotheistic religion is... an interesting take
Somewhat related. According to Primo Levi (a famous holocaust survivor), there were two classes of people who stood up well in the hell of Auschwitz. One was religious people such as Yahweh's Witnesses, and another was ... Marxists.
Levi totally got lost for words when, shortly after being liberated by Russian army, he chatted with a fellow French prisoner about how lucky they were to survive the Nazi camp, and they did so by only a slight twist of fate, and got a surprising reply: "... but Joseph was there!"
Of course, the French man was talking about Joseph Stalin. He never lost his faith in the camp.
