Satanic Reds
The Satanic Reds is an occult Satanic organization with a Marxist-Communist political orientation founded by Tani Jantsang in 1997.[1][2]
Ideology
[edit]The Satanic Reds is largely based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft mixed with elements of Central Asian folklore and the advocacy of social welfare;[2] the group became notable mainly for their online activism and usage of communist symbols merged with Satanist ones.[2] However, the Satanic Reds claim to belong to the left-hand path but do not identify as theistic Satanists in the manner of believing in Satan as a god with a personality, since they conceive it as Sat and Tan, "Being and Becoming", similarly to the fictional deity of chaos Nyarlathotep from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.[2] The religious practices of the Satanic Reds comprise occult rituals and a form of baptism, and the organization advocates a "renewed New Deal", a moderate social program of reforms inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt.[2]
