Communism

…not merely a power-mad political regime, but an ideological-religious system whose aim is to overthrow and supplant all other systems, most of all Christianity. Communism is actually a very powerful heresy whose central thesis, if I’m not mistaken, is chiliasm or millennialism: history is to reach its culmination in an indefinite state of earthly blessedness, a perfected mankind living in perfect peace and harmony.

"…not merely a power-mad political regime, but an ideological-religious system whose aim is to overthrow and supplant all other systems, most of all Christianity."

Isn't it fascinating that true Islam (as it has displayed itself in action for the last 1400 years) has so much in common with Communism? The similarity is so striking because it stems from the same Satanic root. One would think it would be obvious to all the world that this is true, but somehow the lust for human destruction that these two movements have displayed goes unnoticed. It is not flesh and blood that we contend with.
