Sentiment: POSITIVE
Communism was meant to be an alternative religion.
More than forty years of Communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe resulted in an unhappy and artificial division of Europe. It is this dark chapter of European history that we now have the opportunity to close.
I think that communism was a major force for violence for more than 100 years, because it was built into its ideology - that progress comes through class struggle, often violent.
Communism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.
The last years of fading communism provided an ideal environment for Poland's Catholic Church, which acted as an umbrella for dissenters of all sorts.
Communism introduced into the world a substitute for true religion. It is a counterfeit of the gospel plan.
Communism didn't work because people weren't ready for it, it was corrupt, and because it squelched individualism.
Communism brought out the worst in human nature and crippled people's ability or ambition to participate in a market economy.
Ladies and gentlemen, communism didn't fall. It was pushed.
It is apparent that Christianity and Islam must come, and come immediately, to a closer understanding, and it is equally apparent that their unity if achieved, will be the most effective defensive measure against Communist expansion.
