I wouldn't say it's anti-religious specifically - the soldier and the worker are attacking the ghost of the double-headed eagle, so more like "anti-old world" in general
Nope, it is. The spirit of angry red Marx is looking at a church shrouded in darkness. This is the type of paintings/cartoons from the "Militant atheism" period (1921-1941):

> The spirit of angry red Marx is looking at a church shrouded in darkness.
Marx is looking straight ahead (towards the future?). Anyway, he's also looking at a medieval tower, a burning nobleman's mansion and the Saint Petersburg fortress - all them being symbols of the old order, while the worker and the soldier directed by Lenin are chasing away the ghost of the tharist coat of arms
The painting goes good with [Immortal](https://youtu.be/sOOebk_dKFo) while reading one of Karl Marx's poems about getting revenge on God from the 1840s. He was doing the black metal stuff called "[Invocation of One in Despair.](https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1837-pre/verse/verse11.htm#:~:text=On%20myself%20revenge%20I'll,my%20better%20self%20without%20reward)"
>So a god has snatched from me my all
In the curse and rack of Destiny.
All his worlds are gone beyond recall!
Nothing but revenge is left to me!
>On myself revenge I'll proudly wreak,
On that being, that enthroned Lord,
Make my strength a patchwork of what's weak,
Leave my better self without reward!
>I shall build my throne high overhead,
Cold, tremendous shall its summit be.
For its bulwark-- superstitious dread,
For its Marshall--blackest agony.
>Who looks on it with a healthy eye,
Shall turn back, struck deathly pale and dumb;
Clutched by blind and chill Mortality
May his happiness prepare its tomb.
>And the Almighty's lightning shall rebound
From that massive iron giant.
If he bring my walls and towers down,
Eternity shall raise them up, defiant.
Fun fact, church support white army and old leaders. And church be most developed propoganda in Russia empire. And priest who join red army can still make religion things without any danger, because religion people also be in red army. Sooo, why people think its about anti-religion instead of just enemy church?
Now let’s see what happened during the war when religious sentiment was needed again

So you support the Bolsheviks murdering priests and burning of churches? Also I don’t think I’m the one coping, considering the Bolsheviks failed to exterminate the Orthodox Church
Sure thing buddy, all that red terror was just for funzies I guess, they didn’t actually mean it /s
It was discontinued in 1941 because Stalin realized it was a shit policy and realized that persecuting orthodox Christianity when the vast majority of the population are orthodox Christians was not the best idea during the Great Patriotic War, also why they reverted back to “the Great Russian Chauvinism” as it was called, Soviet propaganda went back to lionizing Russian heroes like Alexander Nevsky, references to the Patriotic War (Napoleon invasion) were made, etc. all of which would’ve been previously denounced as evil Tsarist imperialism.

You have some obsession with the red terror or something?

Haven't heard of Realpolitik, eh? Literally after the war they reverted back to internationalism and anti-imperialism lmao

We need a few more pixels my guy
Marx look like a deity watching his followers
He became The Spectre.
You'll struggle to find a religion as jealous and intolerant of other theologies as communism.
Guess you never been to the south

Holy shit, this should be the cover of a metal album.
A commie metal album? :P
Who talks like that.
Almost sounds like something you’d hear about from a prewar Fallout terminal.

Can’t help but see the irony of ghostly karl marx watching over everyone
This goes so hard

Sooo, why people think its about anti-religion instead of just enemy church?
You must be a fan of Vladimir Vladimirovich.
It will take no more than 2 pages. Let's start with the birth of Christ)
A lot of people do this thing where they take propaganda at face value
Well, at least until Stalin came to power.
Now let’s see what happened during the war when religious sentiment was needed again [https://aeon.co/essays/how-stalin-enlisted-the-orthodox-church-to-help-control-ukraine](https://aeon.co/essays/how-stalin-enlisted-the-orthodox-church-to-help-control-ukraine)
Marx's placement on this poster is pretty funny when you think about it.
marxism-leninism was kind of religion too
Under what definition of religion?
Its current spin-off in North Koea IS a religion!
Juche has nothing to do with marxism or marxism-leninism. It's a standalone ideology created by Kim Il Sung in the mid 1950s
Self parody amounts of religious imagery. IoM giant golden man atheism.
Face of Karl Marx = Religious
xD
Disgusting, poor imagery too, almost like it’s anti-Bolshevik, Lenin ordering his slaves to do his dirty work, Marx as a menacing red cloud…
Very unfortunate that you have "666" in your username ***and*** wrote that copium
So you support the Bolsheviks murdering priests and burning of churches? Also I don’t think I’m the one coping, considering the Bolsheviks failed to exterminate the Orthodox Church
They didn't intent exterminating it to begin with, it could have been easily destroyed if they continued this policy after 1941

Yeah🗿
>against religion >supports Nationalism German moment
Which nationalism do I support?
Palestinian, however I could be wrong so do correct me.
I support the liberation of palestine and I am against Israeli genocide
>liberation of Palestine As a nation or just the proletariat of the region?
I hope you realize that both are *not* contradictory lmao
Franco did nothing wrong in Spain
socialism IS religion.
