What is Communism?

Sounds more like the beliefs of those on the left than on the right...

Atheistic Communism:
The Destruction of Human Person, Family, Civilized Society
Destruction of the Human Person
In the understanding of Christianity a human person is an individual rational being, with a body and an immortal soul immediately created by God. Every human being is therefore an individual because it has its own distinctive existence. Every human persona is sacred twice over, because it comes from God and is destined to possess Him in the beatific vision. Every human person is first of all endowed with an intellect to know how the Creator is to be served here on earth, and then gifted with a free will to obey Him now in time in order to share in His infinite happiness in a heavenly eternity.
As we have seen, Communism strips human beings of their liberty, which is the foundation of their lives as rational beings. Communism robs the human person of all his dignity and consequently removes all the moral restraints that control the eruptions of a fallen human nature. In Communism there is no recognition of any right of the individual in his relationship with others. There is no natural right possessed by any human person. The only rights that Communism recognizes are those of the cogwheel of the Communist State. Communists claim absolute equality of all human beings, including the authority of parents. What we commonly call authority and subordination, Communists claim are derived from the community as its first and only source. Not surprisingly, all material goods and all means of production belong, to no individual, but only to the collective power of the Communist society. It therefore follows logically that all forms of private property must be eradicated. Why? Because private property has been the source and foundation of all economic enslavement.
Most people would not associate Communism with a culture of death which has become so prevalent in the modern world. Actually there is more than association. I do not hesitate to say that Communism is the single principal agent behind the global murder of innocent children that has now become legalized in most, once civilized, nations in the twentieth century.
I remember the conversation I recently had with Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the author of Aborting America and the confessed abortionist who admitted to personally aborting thousands of unborn children. In our conversation, Dr. Nathanson told me that during the seventy years of Communist control of Russia, the average was over sixteen million legalized abortions every year.
Once you deny that the human person is a child with divine rights to be born alive, it is only logical to legalize the murder of unborn children. The connection between the massive culture of death in our day and Communism is so close that most people do not even realize that there is a cause and effect relationship between the two.
Although I was born in the United States, my family roots are in Slavic culture. So many of my blood relatives have been victims of Marxist Communism that I can say with complete security: "There is no way, under God, that we can stop the world massacre of innocent children unless we cope with the errors of Marxism which have so deeply penetrated our own beloved United States."
Destruction of the Family
By way of exception, I wish to quote at length from the Manifesto of the Communist Party. Specifically I will read to you what this Manifesto says about the family. It begins with the imperative, "Abolition of the family." The passage is a bit long but worth listening to because it helps to explain not only what has happened in professedly Communist countries, but what is going on in nations like our own.
Destruction of Civilized Society
One of the mysterious contributions of Communism has been to teach us how indispensable is religion for the welfare, in fact for the survival of civilized society.
