Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I write down every dream I have, which I suspect helps me remember even more of my dreams. Anyway, the dream goes as such:

In 19th-century Austria-Hungary, a nun initiated and led a peasant rebellion against lords and the emperor. However, a conservative, religious institution in our modern times organized a campaign to condemn the nun and label her and her convent as ‘communist.’ I was irked by this group's blatant attitude in rewriting history according to its whims.

The idea of a ‘communist’ nun intrigued me and so I did a bit of research in hopes of finding something pertinent regarding a communist nun or church. And I did find some interesting bits of history.

  • The 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England. In June of that year, a band of rebels from Wroxham broke into the convent of Carrow where they demanded the prioress to hand over the convent's deeds which they burned.

  • Maura Clarke, an American nun and leftist activist who was radicalized by her overseas missions in Latin America.

  • Philippino nuns’ active engagement with the New People's Liberation Army.

  • Marie Carré, a protestant nurse who converted to catholcism and published the supposed memoirs of an undercover Soviet spy tasked with the infiltration of the Catholic church.

  • Bella Dodd, a labor union activist and member of CPUSA who later converted to Catholicism and became a staunch voice of anti-communism. She claimed that the CPUSA had plans to infiltrate the Catholic Church.

This is everything I managed to gather, if there are more interesting related stuff, please do share.
