The False Appeal of Communism

this is one of the things that

distinguished communism from nazism

let's say and made it even maybe more

pernicious

the nazis basically said the world

that's for the aryans and the rest of

you can go to hell and we'll be happy to

aid in the

flames let's say there's not a

universalism associated with that

there's a definite exclusion and it's

pretty bloody obvious on the communist

front though and this is maybe what made

it such a powerful substitute in some

sense for for christianity there was the

notion that what we were working for was

the universal brotherhood of man and

this intense inclusiveness where

everyone could live together peacefully

and so people were also led down the

garden path by that presumption and

found out that lying in the service of

future utopia turns out to be a pathway

to hell just like lying in the service

of an exclusionary fascist state
