ABC of Communism for beginners -Dire Materialism, I mean
communalism, inhuman Communism is another form of communalism – loaded against all religions including human”
Oriental culture believes in past Karma’s maxim. “So shall you sow, so shall you reap.” This is rooted in an omniscient/omnipresent. A Being which is present in all individuals as Inner self or Atman.
Marxists had a different view i.e. they trace all imperfections to bad external conditions. If man has a bad past, materially or morally, it is because the social order was bad in the past Marx says.
“It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence but rather, it is their social existence that determines their consciousness.”
To me, nothing can be more weird than this. Even psychologists and social scientists now believe that “human consciousness is something to do with “psyche of a man” i.e. his inner make up, his value system. Social order of the past has very little to do with it.
An individual is no more than a slave or an autonation in the communist model. “Will of the state is supreme”. In the erstwhile USSR, I have personally seen that at individual level most of them strived to be good, law abiding, moral citizens. It is only the state’s agencies which always suspected them of “waking against their national interests” etc. This became the worst poison which state infected into them. My own view is that the collective “poison” became the cause of their revolt and break up into several nations.
At an individual level, if consciousness is not allowed to be refined or upgraded, where is the question of promoting religions which always appeal to the higher instincts like reason, love, sacrifice, etc. Communism believe in hatred of religion which they believe is like an opium for the masses. Then can anyone explain why there were thousands of secret churches with lakhs of masses in the erstwhile USSR ?
