What do you guys think about Orthodoxy compared to other denominations? They are community based, their spiritual leaders are not viewed as monarchs and capitalists hate them for some reason.

Nice spooks kid
Catholics are better
are you another russian nazi that thinks communism=great russia
t.orhodox communist

its all the same religious rubbish

I'm greek actually. Many in the communist party are orthodox (all of them a few years back, now there're less). What caught my attention was that paper the world bank wrote against orthodoxy and how it is an obstacle to capitalism.

this is it btw

PLO and the Baath party were created by Orthodox Christians.

Well i am greek to
Did i say anything about orthodox communist ?
The preist tho are either:gay,pedos,nazis,gay pedos,gay nazis or nazi pedos
Just a few days ago the churche closed an anticommunist museum they were running

That's something new to me. Any more details?

Most of the priests were degenerates even in the time of Christ. But i've met many cool priests over here. Not political but definitely pro-socialist leaning ideologically. Also oppinion on Kanelli since you are Greek please.

Fucking porkies are always making excuses because they can't admit capitalism is shit.

Doesn't the russian orthodox church suck putin's reactionary dick

Oh shit now i get it
Kaneli is that you
Do you still fight to protect orthodoxi from the NWO or you have ACTUALLY READ A FUCKING BOOK YOU SPOOKED BIMBO
Also stop dressing like a 40 year old soccer mom on tv
And join your old friends in ΛΑΟΣ
But KKE decided it has not KILLED communism in greece so she is good now

It has not killed communism enough yet
I mean

And didn't Stalin made a truce with the Orthodox church anyway to boost his troops morale?

Please if you don't have anything related to say don't speak at all fam. And what do you support in Greece anyway if not KKE?
I'm not knitis btw just sympathetic

romanian here
don't buy into the trope that orthodoxy is somehow a worker's safe haven keeping porky away from surplus, it's a dead horse beaten only by liberal youth turned fash

Greek here too.
The Orthodox church is generally a reactionary force rooted in feudal values like most religions today, that's why some capitalists are against the church.
There are exceptions, some priests had fought the Nazis in ELAS, but the head of the church is always with reactionary forces such as the Junta. Today even many priests openly support Golden Dawn.

False, also

False

Here they love them, and the church is itself capitalist

t. Russian

The problem with religion of any kind, is not the people believing in it, but the religious oligarchy that controls them.

Some priests are OK dudes to talk with I guess
But others/most drive around expensive cars and there are even stories of them getting annoyed and asking for more when some family only gives them like 5$ for the ceremony (the money giving is voluntarily) instead of 10$ - 20$
t. Serb

Ok ok i will explain
She was an….interesting journalist at nemesis(you know a newspaper its trustworthy when its called revenge you also know that is owened by a nazi)
But you should not trust journalists they are not honest
Also that paper started the "Kisinger hates greeks" hoax
So why did Kanelli joined KKE and not some shitty nazi party?
Idk but through the years she was a conservative politician in an already spooked party
She supported Xristodoulos(an pro-junta preist)to tag peoples religion in there id's
To fight against the vile NWO(what?) that wants to destroy orthodox church(marx said something like that,i am sure..)
The weird thing is that kasidiaris(a golden dawn politician) attacked the most conservative communist in greece (he copied the attack from a jewish nutjob in russia)
I will talk about KKE in part2

Couldn't be further from the truth. Orthodoxy is much older than feudalism

false, and i didn't say communism per se
false
Here they love them too. My grandpa was a hardline communist, literally painted red. Most of his brothers have fought in the civil war. But at the same time he was a radical orthodox. Many was like that over here, especially the older ones. Maybe it's somewhat different in your country.

I didn't say they are all good. But the priest is not a monarch in the orthodox view. Many laymen have corrected bad priests in the past. That's why i believe it's more compatible with socialism. Actually my inner belief is that orthodoxy falls more on the left spectum than the right.

Ok many of that i didn't even know about. Espacially nemesis.

Where I live there is next to nothing resembling an orthodox community, most people go to church only on Christmas/Easter, only old people go to church regularly. There is nothing comparable to parishes in America where people go to church every sunday and know each other. Source: I live in the second largest city of the largest Orthodox country on Earth and used to be deeply religious

Here the Patriarch is basically the second monarch of the country. I'd say it is exactly the opposite, Orthodox clergy is more elitist that Catholic and Protestant. Services here basically involve the priests singing a liturgy, taking alms and walking away, you're never allowed to question them. Also what the Serbian guy said about priests soliciting money and driving around in expensive cars is 100% true.

The reason you think Orthodoxy is in any way "leftist" or good is because you are either a cheeki breeki russia is le wacky memer who has never seen an Orthodox church in his life, or live in an irrelevant country where it doesn't have much clout.

Orthodoxy has historically been very caesaropapist and buddy-buddy with the ruling classes. The precise reason why it could coexist with socialist governments in Eastern Europe is because it was ruthlessly persecuted until it mellowed out. Before the October Revolution the Russian Church was a tyrannical and reactionary mafia-like entity that sponsored pogroms and resisted socialism until the very end. Now that we gave it free reign in 1991 again it is back to old tricks.

Orthodoxy is not compatible with leftism, it is perhaps the most reactionary and right-wing branch of Christianity. We forced it to be compatible with leftism. Everything you're saying is honestly hopeless idealism.

She was the first women to host the news
No one liked it ,when he runned with the KKE along with zouraris(yes that weird poet who is now on that right wing party in goverment with SYRIZA) but KKE did not give a fuck about the people(they were in goverment with both PASOK and ND at the time also in alliance with syriza )
He was called as a witness to defend Milosevij
Why not vote KKE ,the question is why vote for them
Like do i look like a homophobic leninist that also loves Stalin(but hate zaxariadis) and kruschev
I am pretty sure in greece we have a better party for those people
In general pic related
We have too many communist parties to need one national one
Yes, but it is also a party whose members said that during the greek revolution not one glass will break
And they say"its not the time to act like real leftists just vote for us cause those 7000€ per month really help communism" since junta fell
The spooks are real
Golden dawn is in the parliment so..
Its ok to have some communist in there to
Also isnt it strange that we call KKE voters "knites" (members of kne ,KKE's youth wing) but 60% of there voters are like 100
I have a red grandma to
He says "I love my god,i hate his preists".
Orthodox preists easily rival other religious leaders on reaction
But orthodox commies are good ,like protestant,muslim,atheists and all commies in my book

If you take literally 10 seconds to read my post you'll have all the answers about who i am and why i say all that i'm saying. Like i said maybe in your country things are different because of the history there. And isn't Russias communist party pretty much orthodox now anyway?

All fair points but:
What are the other communist parties?
And what's wrong with Stalin?

about Stalin nevermind i read your post again

And yeah, the CPRF is orthodox. They're also socdem reactionaries who deserve a good old purge.

If you literally google any greek party ,go to wikipedia ,to the bottom it says greek parties ,open the subcategory and there is literaly a list of communist parties
Greekanons special list time!!!!!
Are favorite maoist parties united after all those years
If you like KKE you whould love them,cause they agree on everything except mao(and even a better they like zaxariadis to,he is quite BASED tbh tho he was an evil narcicist that killed his rivals,ahh i get why he liked Stalin)
Also they are a little less conservative
What you should support
Really ,well…i dont think the other parties will notice but
Or movment for the reorganization of KKE
They call themselves stalinists
They dont care about election thogh
This are the ones with ideological different ones
They are like a million staliNEET parties in greece
And i dont think anyone cares about sucking stalins dead dick when you vote them

Those are all fair game but they are very very small parties. Even if they all combine they hardly get in the parliament and i can't stand seeing Golden Dawn 3d party anymore.
LMAO
And since you mentioned Zaxariadis

ἡ Ὀρθοδοξία ἰδεολογικὰ - πνευματικὰ ἀνταποκρίνεται σὲ μία νοοτροπία λαϊκή, σ᾿ ἕνα ἐσωτερικὸ ψυχικὸ δεσμό, ποὺ ὁ Εὐρωπαῖος κοσμοπολίτης ὀνομάζει «ἀνατολικὸ πνεῦμα» καὶ ὁ ξεπεσμένος καὶ ἔκφυλος Λεβαντίνος περιφρονεῖ μὰ ποὺ συγκεντρώνει καὶ ἐκφράζει ἐσωτερικὴ λαϊκὴ ἑνότητα καὶ ἐκδηλώνει ἀνώτερα ἰδεώδη καὶ χαρίσματα, ἄσχετα ἂν στὰ χρόνια ἐκεῖνα τῆς μεσαιωνικῆς κατάστασης καὶ τοῦ ἀσιατικοῦ δεσποτισμοῦ τοῦ Βυζαντίου κάνουν τὴν ἐμφάνισή τους μὲ μορφὴ θρησκευτικο-ἐκκλησιαστική.

Εἶναι ἀναρίθμητα τὰ παραδείγματα ποὺ δείχνουν ὅτι Ταγοὶ καὶ ἁπλοὶ στρατευόμενοι τῆς ἐκκλησιαστικῆς ἱεραρχίας πάλεψαν καὶ μὲ τὸ ντουφέκι στὸ χέρι στὸ πλευρὸ τοῦ Λαοῦ καὶ ὅτι μοναστήρια καὶ μοναστήρια εἶχαν μεταβληθεῖ σὲ μπαρουταποθῆκες καὶ λαϊκὰ φρούρια.

yeah it's him

Why is Uncle Joe so popular in Greece? I've noticed quite a few greek Stalinists online as well

Not that famous most people dont care if you are a trot,mtw or wtvr
KKE likes stalin but even some trots vote themmpofiliou 10/10 milf i'll smash

KKE (m-l)-(m-l)KKE are pretty big they have entered the parliement once in 80s
Anasintaxi is the classical hoxhaist StaliNEET party that does not participate in elections(maybe the 35% that did not vote ,supports anasintaxi)
Also ,a small party will remain small if you dont vote for them cause they are small
But i dont care if you support KKE
We are all anticapitalist, we should be united
τι ειναι αυτα τα εμφυλιακα κειμενα ρε σταλινικε, ετοιμα τα ειχες

Kill all the clergy of every religion and either destroy religious temples (the ugly ones) or turn them into libraries, clubs, studios etc (the beautiful ones).

Just as bad, if not worse, than Catholicism. Black Hundreds, the Iron Guard, Golden Dawn, the entire Tsarist Empire were/are all backed by the Orthodox Church. It's by far the most openly reactionary denomination.

I will remain KKE for the moment at least until GD falls from the 3rd place. But yeah i'm not a blind follower all anticapitalists have my support.
ton Zaxariadi ton googlara giati thymomoun pws ypostirize thn orthodoxia lel

In greece most of the monasteries already have libraries with some pretty rare books
>>>/gulag/

Here they've taken the revolutionary side many times. It's not black and white.

What's wrong with clubs? Are you another ascetic retard?

Seriously? What's wrong with the pinnacle of capitalistic entertainment? Are you a liberal art student?

Unironically based and redpilled
La única iglesia que ilumina es la que arde

Sorry bud, you're hooked on higher values.

They literally made the Tsar a saint and his execution a holy day, and built a church on the spot.
