Every religion gets swarmed and contorted by reactionaries because they see they can use it as a source of power, never mind how there is almost always pro-social, anti-oppression, and anti-stratification principles at the core.

lead to the suicide of one of my friends, and SA'd others that went to the Catholic schools nearby.We don't defend Pol Pot, Ceausescu, etc; and we don't give up on Communism because of a couple abuses of power, even if they caused lots of bloodshed.
