Curt Doolittle updated his status.

—“Joseph Campbell made a very similar point back in the 60s, though he’s rarely acknowledged for his political insights: “The Persian myth of Creation, Fall, and World Renovation, which has influenced fundamentally not only the Messianic ideas of Judaism and Christianity, but also their parody in the Marxian proletariat apocalypse of the closing chapter of the first volume of Das Kapital… The first of these… Magian churches obviously are distinguished from the last in as much as their appeal is to God, whereas the last takes particular pride in its… hard-skulled late-nineteenth-century atheism: its sacred object, the Worker, is a mythic being supposed to be incarnate in every factory of the world. But this transfer of the mystic of authority from heaven to a supposed social entity on earth simply adjusts to a modern, secular mode of symbolization the shared concept of the authentic law, known only to those of the faithful in whom orthodox knowledge resides which is to break into full manifestation when the day of days arrives. Meanwhile, the so-called laws of the nations are but delusions, afflicting all in whose hearts the light has not yet dawned” (Occidental Mythology).”—-Tim Spillane
