Cold atheism wrapped in the garments of materialism, Communism provides no place for God or Christ.

According to Communist theory, matter, not mind or spirit, speaks the last word in the universe. Such a philosophy is avowedly secularistic and atheistic. Under it, God is merely a figment of the imagination, religion is a product of fear and ignorance, and the church is an invention of the rulers to control the masses.

Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution.

We must with positive action seek to remove those conditions of poverty, insecurity, and injustice, which are the fertile soil in which the seed of communism grows and develops.

Communism attributes ultimate value to the state. Man is made for the state and not the state for man. One may object, saying that in Communist theory the state is an 'interim reality,' which will 'wither away' when the classless society emerges. True--in theory; but it is also true that, while it lasts, the state is the end.

Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.
