I see this "Marxism is a religion" sentiment all the time with liberals because the idea that it is fundamentally uninterrogable is necessary to allow themselves to comfortably "rationally" ignore it. It has to be this way because to actually engage with it would stop them being liberals.
@wonkie.bsky.socialMarxism functions like a fundamentalist religion. It is faith-based, focused on the study of anything that re-enforces the faith and the willful ignoring of anything that undermines the faith. The faithful spent a lot of time on purity fights with each other. If they get power they will harm others
