You’re right, Baby. As I have noted many times, the Leftist-Islamic alliance is based on a common worldview. Both Leftists and many Sharia-adherent Muslims want to establish an earthly utopia that is enforced by authoritarian rule and a reign of terror. The Left has initiated a reign of terror wherever it has gained power: 18th-century France, the Soviet Union, Democratic Kampuchea, etc. Sharia, meanwhile, is a slow-motion reign of terror, with the earthly utopia preserved by means of stonings, amputations, beheadings, and the like.
“‘Many of the Prophet’s ideas are close to Communist ideals’; ‘Marx, Lenin are prophets of modern times’: CPI(M) Politburo Member M A Baby,” OpIndia, April 4, 2022:
In a recent Facebook Post, Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader M A Baby has compared the ideals of Islam with those of Communism. The CPI(M) Politburo member was seen elaborating in a Facebook post the egalitarianism in Islam over the practice of fasting during the ongoing month of Ramzan. He further claimed that Marx, Engles [sic], Lenin and other Communist mavens were the prophets of modern times….
“The Holy Prophet’s lesson is that after making sure that no one is hungry in the surrounding area, you can eat. It is the idea of a kind of equal society that is what is being shared by man,” said Baby, suggesting that by remaining hungry, one expresses his solidarity with the unfortunate others who are left without consuming an ounce of food. Postulating that ‘many of the Prophet’s ideas are close to Communist Ideals’, Baby wrote, “The days of fasting are bringing that hunger to the centre of our thinking. That is the greatest meaning of fasting.”
MA Baby reminded that the lesson of the Prophet is that one should eat only after making sure that no one around is hungry. Baby wrote that when Indian Marxist leaders like K Damodaran and C. Shekhar framed slogans for labour organisations, they included “Sallallahu Alaihivasallam” ((peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in them.
Prophets, Jesus Christ and Karl Marx
M A Baby wrote that all the ‘Prophets’, in a way, stood for humanity and human equality during their time. He suggested that the ‘revolutionaries’ like ‘Marx, Engels, Lenin, Rosalaxburg, Mao, Hochim, Antonio Gramsci, Fidal and Che Guevara’ were prophets of modern times. “They are the ones who fought to create an equal society in their lands. These are the ideas that populate my mind every Ramadan fast,” M A Baby wrote while concluding his Facebook Post.

I saw a London based Indian commentator who’s noted for his criticism of the Left and wokism, and who’s familiar w/ Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, state this: “Communism is islam without allah, or islam is Communism w/ a god”. Essentially, Muhammad has the same role as Marx, Engels, Lenin and Mao
Infidel says
On a different note, I’ve never heard of Rosalaxburg, Hochim, Antonio Gramsci. Who were they?
commonsense says
Infidel,
Rosalaxburg (sic) is a distortion of Rosa Luxemburg, an early Marxist and pioneer communist.
Hochim (sic) is a distortion of Ho Chi Minh, communist leader of North Vietnam Nam during the 1960s and ’70s.
Antonio Gramsci, like Rosa Luxemburg, was an Italian communist of the early twentieth century.
commonsense says
Erratum: North Viet Nam. Damned autocorrect – didn’t know it was on.

Rosa Luxemburg was Polish/German. Gramsci, of course, was Italian.

Spot on, commonsense. He can’t even spell the names of his supposed heroes.
Aussie Infidel says
I don’t know about Rosalaxburg or Hochim, but Gramsci was one of the founders of the Italian Communist Party. I know an Italian immigrant who still worships his ideas, and how he was opposed to Mussolini’s version of fascism.
Gramsci promoted the idea that to win political power – and keep it – the Communists first had to win the cultural war through the arts and education.

Moral of the story: Fascists love fascists, birds of the feather flock together. islam is irrational to the core. Both islam and communism deny god and assume the role of super-god propelled by the “devout” and “revolutionaries”, creating super-class of people and making others under-class.

Actually Islam is ten times worse than communism. Under communism no one has any rights except the proletariats. Under Islam men have rights and women are second class citizens. Plus I don’t believe communism believes you should kill your neighbors or your family members if they piss you off. Of course under communism the state reserves the right to kill you. I’m pretty sure communism doesn’t believe in pedophilia either and doesn’t issue edicts that one can marry a 3 yr old. Communism doesn’t believe in polygamy either. One thing communism does do is spread the poor. And they don’t have a God that needs to be worshipped 5 times a day.

…………….
You’re supposed to turn in your neighbors and family members if the criticize Communism. This is often a death sentence.
abu taleb says
But one thing in common between Islam and communism is the leaders use their ideologies for their own benefits, making themselves rich and above the law. Do what I tell you not what I do, that is what they actually think.
maria says
Communism was exactly the same as nazism and islam is the third part of axis of evil

“The days of fasting are bringing that hunger to the centre of our thinking. That is the greatest meaning of fasting.”
That’s a strange fast. It runs only from dawn to sundown. The women prepare food early so the men can eat before sunrise, before work, then spend the day preparing food for the after-sundown nighttime meal which has the air of a family party. Google, “gaining weight during Ramadan”.
Missing a lunch is hardly the equivalent of the actual suffering of poor, destitute people. Try some Communist-socialist central planning of agriculture to really experience hunger.

Communist Party of India top dog says many of Muhammad’s ideas are close to Communist ideals
…………..
Well, he’s not wrong. Violently imposing a brutal creed, crushing freedom of speech, silencing “unbelievers”, and spreading this savagery all over the world.
Note that Baby here is lying–neither Communism nor Islam says that you can’t eat until all your neighbors can eat.
Christianity is concerned with feeding the hungry; not there vicious ideologies.
OLD GUY says
TOP DOG, DICTATOR, what’s the difference? Communism is all about ONE PERSON who thinks he, she, it is somehow the destiny of the world. It is really all about POWER and MONEY! Be assured that these TOP DOGS like this guy and Putin have NO value for human life except their own. And folks that has been proven over and over throughout out history.
