Page 22 - The Basic Conflict between Christianity and Communism

Russia will not fight. In spite of her much-vaunted power, she knows that any war
seals her doom, and that the very armies and armaments with which in peach she
bluffs the West, will be the very means of destruction of her whole wicked system and
of the demon-possessed men who operate it. This would be one REVOLUTION that

would not need to be fomented. In our day anyone who is still outside the orbit of this
earth-destroying scourge and yet defends it, proves himself a knave or a fool.

There is more peace, contentment and prosperity down Main Street of any town or

city in the “capitalist” United States, with Christian churches sprinkled here and there,
than in all the Communist empire put together. This amazing co-operative capitalism
far exceeds the wildest dreams of Karl Marx and achieves a condition approaching
more nearly to a utopian socialism than any other economic system known to man.

The great General Motors Corporation has 430,000 shareholders and General Electric
nearly a quarter of a million.

So we see that the Marxian theories when put to the test, have produced exactly the

opposite of what he claimed for them. Instead of a “dictatorship of the proletariat”
(the working classes), both Lenin and Stalin and their satellites in Eastern Europe,
together with Mao Tse-Tung and company in China, while shouting about having

terror, torture and coercion, they have maintained their leadership and an external
semblance of government. Instead of people’s government and democracies the
masses are completely enslaved and given no voice whatever in government.
“Elections” which are travesties of true popular expression, are held periodically, in

which the slaves are intimidated into unanimous votes for their tyrants, and even then
comparatively few are allowed to participate in the mockery.

The cruel autocrats of the past have slain their victims promptly and by quick death,

but the Communist sadists, to support their lie, have discovered a more efficient way!
They brain-wash their victims and torture their minds and their bodies with
interminable questionings until they reduce them to such madness that they will
“confess” to things they have never done or thought, and laud and vindicate their

oppressors sometimes as the price of release but more often to hasten a death which is
preferable to torture.

The trademark of Satan is on the whole Communist system with unmistakable

clarity. “Jesus said of Satan: “He was a murderer from the beginning…there is no
