reflections on communism

[frandroid]

If the Church worked so well as a system to ensure obedience and the good functioning of the economic system, why did Marx reject it? Think of the awesome power of Catholicism and Communism banding together instead of opposing each other. The social gospel would have achieved total world domination, creating a new Eden on Earth.

Ahem. Still...?

anything promoting blind faith in celestial beings [and hatin' on science]is directly opposing communism. it would be hard to make that work, but i suppose it could, even if i dont like it.

Not necessarily.

See Latin America.

The Church there is not what it is in Rome. And the folk ways of worshipping in it are especially not like that.
