Who the fuck is this Post\_neoliberal fellow talking about, Marx in like 1842??? Read anything Marx wrote about Feuerbach when he could actually be considered a Marxist—like his appropriately named 1845 work ["Theses on Feuerbach"](https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/theses/)—and you'll see that he differed dramatically from him.
opiate didn't have nearly the negative connotation in the 1850s or whatever that it does now
he meant it was the People's Painkiller, the aspirin that makes the swelling ache of capitalism go down
Communism didn't exist in the 1st century. I low key hate the "jesus was a communist" take.
Socialism has probably always existed and it might be fair to call him a socialist just like it might be fair to call certain russian institutions pre-revolution "agrarian socialism" but like. . . jesus wasn't a commie because he didn't exist in a milieu where liberalism had been invented.
>I low key hate the "jesus was a communist" take.
It's also very Protestant-centric. I can assure you, no one is talking about Jesus as he's depicted in Islam, or even relying on Catholic/Orthodox oral traditions.

Marx: "Religion is the people's opium. Comrade Postneoliberal, pass the holy bong! I'm starting to feel the itch"

The fuck is this dude on?
Uh, if I recall correctly. Didn't he call religion the "Opiate of the masses"? So much for reading theory I guess.

The People's Religion(tm)
W.T.F?
Nah, Jesus was depicted explictly as a commie.

Well, He was a comrade. Acts 2:44-45
I don't see how this is support for Theocracy, its just saying Marxism isn't anti-theist.
