Sure, Bowser, I can agree with this. All you need to do is show me one Communist country that is not, (or was not), also a "godless" (whatever that actually means) dictatorship. This conversation started out being about socialism and Marxism, and I was discussing the flawless historical record of Marxism wrecking every nation in which it was ever adopted.
Of course there are other nations that are not communist that involve degrees of "godlessness" or dictatorship. Frankly, offhand I can't think of any nations other than Marxist ones that suppress ALL religions, although there are certainly plenty that suppress selected ones.
And of course there are more than enough dictatorships that force a certain religion on their people. At least they're not "godless," although they might be better off if they were.
This is not that difficult an exercise in logic:
Not all dictatorships, "godless" or otherwise, are or have been Marxist. However, throughout history, all Marxist nations are, or have been, "godless" dictatorships.
A person that advocates Marxism, and yes, socialism, is advocating eventual dictatorship.
