Unless our justice is better than that of the moralists and theologians –
and that of the Bolshevists – we cannot enter the kingdom of God. The
justice of Bolshevism is inadequate because it does not come from the
heart, nor from spiritual fellow****p; it is forced down people’s throats.
And that is no way to build community.
Bolshevism and political communism are based on an ideal of centralized
government and economy. They force a way of life on people. They approach
things from without. They tackle the outward problems of economics in the
hope of improving inner relation****ps. But murder is not the way to peace.
Killing is not the road to love. Thus Bolshevism is a dangerous abyss; it
is anti-Christian. And yet it can point us to something better and purer:
Christ and his perfect love.
