    Classless?!?! Haha, someone look up the heaven flow chart (yes really) for Mormons. 3 levels of heaven and outer darkness (hell). For those that make it to the top, congrats on being a god! You and your many wives will enjoy eternity as you crush the hopes and dreams of your own creation.

      There is a singular authoritarian dictator. You may not disobey. The punishment for your first infraction is eternal torture.

      But otherwise…yes. Getting to heaven is about winning, and you can’t be a winner without there being losers.

        There’s no biblical reasoning why everyone can’t go to heaven, losers are not mandatory. In fact in Christianity, “Jesus died for your sins,” so supposedly you get a free pass as long as you aren’t a big piece of shit.

        It’s the Jehovah’s witnesses that think there is limited space in heaven, it’s what motivates them to convert everyone. By converting so many unbelievers, they’ll rise up the ranks and get that heaven spot for themself. The people they converted? Doomed to hell, I suppose. A sacrifice to get them into heaven.

        JWs are pretty messed up.

        It is significantly easier to establish communism in a small community, where you can see the people daily that you consider part of your tribe, than a national communism where the work you put in benefits someone on the far side of the country that you’ve never met, and may consider them as part of your “tribe” on an intellectual level, but not much beyond that.

          Yeah, that’s why we need a transition period of Socialism.

          That period has to be generations long however and on a multinational scale to set the stage for eliminating money and the state so we’ll probably never see Communism on a national scale in our lifetime. Socialism’s good enough though tbh
