Apparently James Lindsay did a hoax on the "Christian Right" in which he altered Karl Marx to support Christian Right stuff and the Christian Right people published it.

Lindsay is apparently claiming that this proves the Christian Right are just like the Communists, but reading his hoax piece I don't think you have to be "woke" or communist or anything like that to agree.

The article basically claims: 'the modern dominant mode of social organization is in some way bad and unstable'. This is true of communist thought, but it is also true of basically every political movement that wants to make serious changes.

Treating two different (and opposite) things in a super abstract way so that you can say they're really the same is a Marxist (or perhaps Hegellian to be more precise) trick that Lindsay himself has denounced.

Perhaps Lindsay is attempting to employ this trick himself to win converts to his milquetoast liberalism.
