I became communist because I was Catholic. . . I remained profoundly Catholic. I donโt go to church but this doesnโt matter; you donโt ask people to go to church. I remained a Catholic, that is, an internationalist universalist. I thought that inside the Communist Party there were more adequate means to realize universal fraternity.

"Once we unite and live in communism, hell will no longer be on earth and heaven will no longer be beyond this world; everything which has been presented to us by Christianity in prophecy and fantasy is about to be wholly realized in the true human society according to the eternal laws of love and reason." [A Communist Credo: Questions and Answers, Moses Hess, 1844]
Observably, political communism was nothing new to humanity. Emancipating the sexes, eliminating the family, and abolishing property rights had been preached right in scripture for millennia. Achieving those goals, however, required crafty rebranding and reverse psychology to finally transform reactionary Christianity into revolutionary Christianity, under a new name: Bolshevism.

In the Soviet Union, if the police had sent you to the gulag that was your fate. There was no challenging that or raising objections, it was set in stone. In the bible, this revocation of free will certainly wasn't seen as sinister at all, rather it was presented as a test of faith and loyalty to Christ.
Joyfully accept your fate when the state freezes your bank account, seizes your family estate, and throws you in prison. Joyfully turn the other cheek and bless those who persecute you. It goes without saying that Christian theology was the hidden bedrock of communist power.

You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. (Hebrews 10:34)

Christians, who condemn the communists for their godlessness and anti-religious persecutions, cannot lay the whole blame solely upon these godless communists; they must assign part of the blame to themselves, and that a considerable part. . . The doctors of the Church said that property is theft. St. John Chrysostom himself was a complete communist, though of course his was not communism of the capitalist or the industrial period. There are good grounds for asserting that Communism has Christian or Judeo-Christian origins. But there soon came a time in which Christianity was adapted to the contemporary kingdom of Caesar. The discovery was made that Christianity is not only the truth with which the world may be set aflame, but that it might be socially useful for the establishment of the kingdom of Caesar.

Pure Christianity, so-called original Christianity, aims to make Christian theory true: the annihilation of all humanity, it is naked Bolshevism in metaphysical disguise. . .

There are many parallels between Communist theory and Christian doctrine, and in our opinion, as Communists, Jesus Christ was the very first Communist. . . Nowhere - neither in the Old nor in the New Testament - will you find anything bad about communism.

I am of the conviction that the Roman emperors, who eradicated the first Christians, did exactly the same thing that we are doing with the communists. These Christians were then the worst yeast which the great city contained, the worst Jewish people, the worst Bolsheviks that there were.

Matthew 7:21-23
โ Not everyone who says to me, โLord, Lord,โ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, โLord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?โ And then will I declare to them, โI never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.โ
Read that very carefully. Those who profess Jesus Christ by name only are viewed as nothing in contrast to the ones who did the will of God without proclaiming his name. Could it be that Lenin and Stalin were closer to Christ's Word than most of today's so-called Christians are? There is a very good possibility of that being the case.

Not in the modern sense, but in the largely metaphysical sense. All physical pagan gods and their representative iconography was branded as โrank superstitionโ by the church, thus destroyed, alongside the temples of their innocent believers. Anyone who worshipped their own gods were punished by death. Anyone who refused to worship the invisible one was slaughtered, beheaded, and put to shame. We can very much see how this is simply two-thirds of the present atheist agenda in its pursuit of total war against all idolatry and superstition. They were the original league of militant atheists. In swaying the planet to kneel before nothingness, Catholics and Protestants did more harm to classical theism than today's atheist roleplayers could ever ask for.

We used to study the Bible when we were children. We sensed that [prophet] Amos was denouncing the Tsars and the rich people, and we liked it very much. . . I remember how in 1912 in Kiev, when I had to speak against the Zionists, I used Amosโs words well and with great success, this time drawing appropriate Bolshevik conclusions.

In one point early Christian, medieval, and modern communism are in accord, i.e., in their internationalism, in which they are quite distinct from Platonism, the latter being merely local. Platonism was instituted for a few municipalities and their adjacent territories. Ever since the Christian era, on the contrary, every communist has worked for the good of mankind in general, or at all events for the universal national sphere of civilisation in which he happened to live. The local limitation of Platoโs communism is in accord with the peculiar conditions of peasant and petty trade methods of production. . .Since the time of the early Christians, the communists have always, and under all circumstances, laid stress on the duties of international and interlocal solidarity.
