Communism and Christianity
Analysis and comparison of Marxist and Darwinian aspects
Written by Rev.  William Montgomery Brown
 
Rt.  Rev.  Willam Montgomery Brown, retired 5th bishop of South Arkansas; Member of the Board of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, etc; now:
“Episcopus in partibus Bolsevikium et Infidelium”

“The revolution which replaces capitalist democracy - the freedom of producing profit for the owners - with industrial democracy - the freedom of workers producing for themselves, will be an undeniable historical fact of the 20th century. 

Propagating class-hate is not the purpose of my book at all.  It aims to prove that we must banish the gods from Heaven and the capitalists from Earth. 

Belief in god and capitalism are the two great damnations of humankind.  These have been the primary causes behind all the enormous and unnecessary sufferings rooted in ignorance, poverty and slavery.  (…)

The government of workers in Russia is now conducting a double war: the Polish and the Crimean war against capitalist governments, mainly against the British, French, Japanese and American governments which try to subvert the republic of workers.  The victory of Soviet-Russia seems to be certain, since the laborers of the whole world support it. 

Marx`s voice sounds even from the grave.  His voice is even more convincing and loud now than during his lifetime.  Russia is the megaphone which scatters his words all over the world.  There has never been any voice louder than this.  The gospel calls to the slaves.  Its` steering message invites: ‘Workers of the world, unite!’ Its` enthusiastic encouragement sounds: ‘You have nothing to lose but your chains.  You have a world to gain!’”
