  • This is gonna blow your mind, but you can be religious and a good socialist at the same time.

    The church closest to my home is where I do some of my community gardening. They know full well that I’m a socialist, an atheist, and bisexual, and they don’t care in the slightest. As far as they’re concerned, actions trump beliefs—good works are God’s work, they’ve told me. They’re fundraising to build an affordable housing co-op for displaced First Nations folks in the community, and they broke ground on the first block last year!

    Theory didn’t stop in 1844 when Marx said we need to move beyond religion for the working class. We can do better.
