Back when I was an Islamist, I thought our ideology was like communism - and I still do. That makes me optimistic. Because what happened to communism? It was discredited as an idea. It lost.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Communism was meant to be an alternative religion.
I was part of a generation that believed in socialism and finally found that belief corroded and destroyed. That is not renouncing Communism or socialism. It's reaching a certain degree of enlightenment about what the Soviet Union practices.
Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan.
Let's not talk about Communism. Communism was just an idea, just pie in the sky.
I'm still a communist in the sense that I don't believe the world will survive with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer - I think that the pressures will get so tremendous that the social contract will just come apart.
Communism didn't work because people weren't ready for it, it was corrupt, and because it squelched individualism.
I thought that communism, the tyranny of communism, was an abomination and I beseeched God to bring that terrible evil down and he did. It was a great triumph, it took awhile, but it happened.
Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.
Ladies and gentlemen, communism didn't fall. It was pushed.
Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.
