We'll beat them into the ground on argument...

We may first observe that communism and socialism - which we shall hereafter group together and dub Statism - cannot live with Christianity nor with any religion that postulates a Creator such as the Declaration of Independence recognizes.

I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written.
