    You’re not wrong about the reward being earned. That’s definitely the unspoken part of it.

    When I grew up religious, the conversion was that communism was a bastardization of god’s plan, so it’s inherently evil. Basically, it cannot be as pure and perfect with men in charge so it will fail every time.

    You’d think they’d want to try and be more like their god and his plan for their heaven but they just reject it.

        Remove the heretics from Christianity, and you will have not a religion of billions of oppressors, but a cult of a few dozen communist hippies.
