(Mic
6:8) He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord
require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk
humbly with your God?
VATICAN.VA: DIVINI
REDEMPTORIS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XI ON ATHEISTIC COMMUNISM TO THE
PATRIARCHS, PRIMATES, ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER ORDINARIES IN
PEACE AND COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE.
ONLINE PDF PREVIEW: Communism and the Conscience of the West by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
The basic struggle today is not between individualism and collectivism,
free enterprise and socialism, democracy and dictatorship. These are
only the superficial manifestations of a deeper struggle which is moral
and spiritual and involves above all else whether man shall exist for
the state, or the state for man, and whether freedom is of the spirit
or a concession of a materialized society. It has not been given to
every age in history to see the issue as clearly as it has been given
to our own, for we have a double incentive to work for the peace and
prosperity of the world: the first is the Gospel in its fullness, the
second is the communism of Soviet Russia. The first teaches us that
happiness comes from living rightly; the second, that misery comes from
acting wrongly.
MSGR. CHARLES POPE: Of Hunger and Hallucinations – How the Stages of Starvation Describe the Decaying West
VIA X: On communism – in summary:
1. Communism no longer comes for your property. It comes for your
reality. The West still pictures bread lines and gulags, a failed
economic theory safely buried in 1989 – that was only ever the surface
symptom. Leftism-communism is the most insidious destructive force in
our world today, and it survives every empirical refutation for one
reason: it was never really an economic theory. It doesn’t care about
the truth. It only seeks power.
2. At its core it is a civilizational cancer – a machine for distorting
reality through constant lies, rewritten history, and the systematic
corruption of truth. It practices negative selection: it promotes the
ambitious sociopaths, the ideologues, and the conformists, while the
honest and the competent are sidelined or destroyed. Talent, integrity,
and productivity become liabilities. The body count runs to roughly a
hundred million. But the deeper kill is spiritual – trust eroded,
excellence punished, reality itself subordinated to raw power.
3. What has changed is the method, not the logic. Tanks and gulags were
crude, visible, self-defeating. Today it does not confiscate – it
destabilizes. Chaos is the new collectivization. Every manufactured
crisis follows the same structural logic: disorder is produced, fear is
maximized, and in the panic that follows, transfers of power occur that
would have been politically impossible in calm times. You do not notice
the expropriation, because you are too busy surviving the emergency
they built for you.
4. The fuel running this engine is the Systemic Lie – not ordinary
propaganda, but a managed reality in which the categories of thought
themselves are corrupted. Productivity is renamed exploitation. Order
is renamed fascism. Resistance is renamed hate. A population that
cannot name extraction cannot resist it – that is the design, not a
side effect. Polish has a word for what results: zakłamanie, a society
so saturated with lies that truth becomes almost inaccessible. Obłuda
is the mask of falsehood worn so long it begins to feel like a face.
5. This is why the ideology did not die in 1989. It mutated, migrated,
and entrenched itself inside the institutions of the civilization it
had set out to destroy. Under a system of institutionalized lying, the
loyal are promoted and the honest are pushed out, until the institution
fills, top to bottom, with people selected specifically for their
unreliability. That is not inefficiency. That is institutional rot at
the genetic level. People learn to say the words, attend the meetings,
sign the statements – and inwardly check out entirely.
6. The damage was never only in the ideology. It was in the people –
the habits of mind that decades inside a system of lies produce, habits
that do not evaporate with a change of government. The decisive terrain
now is institutional: the schools, the media, the corporations, and
above all the artificial intelligence systems being trained at
civilizational scale on values that half the civilization never chose
and was never consulted on. Whoever writes the values into the machines
will have more influence over the next century than any election result.
7. This is where civilizations are actually won and lost – not in grand
gestures, but in millions of daily, invisible decisions about whether
to say what you actually see. Every person who refuses to perform the
lie one more time is doing something larger than they know. Name the
chaos. Name the lie. The naming is the resistance.
Tell the truth, have courage, and build.
