[QUOTE="Shadow, post: 71384584, member: 377228"] Good point. I'm just going to nod and be agreeable here because as much as I am tempted to criticise the specifics I can see a lot of potentially embarrassing parallels between your experience and mine. I have wondered if the "inner" experience of communism is like a religion and what you're describing is familiar as "truth" or "humanity", rather than god, act as a force that transcends the individual when you experience Communism as an inner dialogue with the self/the soul. I've had the same experience reading Marxist literature and sort of wanting to turn away from what I suspect is the truth because it is so uncomfortable but then simply having to come to terms with something "greater" than myself. I wouldn't have thought of it in terms of the holy spirit though so its reassuring to know that its an experience we may have in common. [/QUOTE]
