a commercial baseâ  Yes, yes, by your ayes, me Marxist mateys, we do

Comment

It is not the Christian Church so much as it is their members we are 
interested in.:-) 

In American history the Church split over the slavery issue. How can any one 
of the cloth deny universal ordinances to the dispossessed and downtrodden?  
Nor is it the responsibility of the Church to do what the government should do 
in providing for the needs of its citizenship. After all the government prints 
money and has more means than the Church. Nevertheless the Church must heal 
its flock or lose them. 

In today's society it would seem that drugs - legal and illegal, have become 
the religion of the people - the sign, of the oppressed masses. 

The communist revolution is the most radical in human history and will most 
certainly sweep away the superstition and ignorance of thousands of years. 
Nothing will bridge the divide between the known and the unknown. The latter 
expands on the basis of the former. 

I do advocate no anti-religious barriers to membership in communist groups 
and also politically engage anticlericalism at this juncture of history. 

It is of course inappropriate to campaign for religious theology within a 
communist group in the same way it is inappropriate to campaign play checkers 
in 
a Poker Tournament.
