“Modern John Brown would be Pete Buttigieg” is like some type of perverse blasphemy I don’t quite know how to digest. These tweets are genuine evil.

John Brown started my path towards being a Communist

I read what he did, how he so strongly understood the evil of slavery that he went out and did something about it, and that resonated with me

Of course, the people who would tell me, “Oh, he had the right idea, but he shouldn’t have killed people” only strengthened my respect for him, because I knew they were just the same mealy-mouthed cowards who would said they stood against slavery but would do nothing to actually dismantle the system that permitted it

It is genuinely one of the most disrespectful things I’ve ever heard said about the man.

John Brown didn’t conditionally advocate for people in bondage if they were christian, this person is completely thoughtless.

John Brown was really religious–>really religious people hate non-believers (which isn’t even generally true) but it’s demonstrably untrue in Brown’s case with even a cursory knowledge of his life

I posted this further up but John Ingersoll was the most famous atheist of the day and a friend of Brown and said this

But the real pioneer in America was old John Brown. Moved not by prejudice, not by love of his blood, or his color, but by an infinite love of Liberty, of Right, of justice, almost single- handed, he attacked the monster, with thirty million people against him. His head was wrong. He miscalculated his forces; but his heart was right. He struck the sublimest blow of the age for freedom. It was said of him that he stepped from the gallows to the throne of God. It was said that he had made the scaffold to Liberty what Christ had made the cross to Christianity.

Ah yes, of everyone in society to hate, it would be the communists for atheism and not the monstrous war machine that scours a million lives a decade and robs the global South of its resources every time its gaze falls upon a poor, barely defend brown country like the eye of Sauron. Yes, I’m sure he’d be an insufferable terminally online social media lib, rather than the one who shoots the insufferable terminally online social media lib.

communists are atheists

“Finance imperialists are soulless and satanic, every church is just a temporarily embarrassed Jeffrey Epstein pagan temple” this is atheism, I am very smart!

Lol not only did Marx and Brown coexisted in the same time period, but Brown has expressed his interest in socialism and anti capitalism. Does this loser think every slave Brown worked with was a devout Christian?

Lenin would have said “tighten the interest rates because the economy needs healthy bank reserves” if you ask me.
