Hi, Don —
It has long been said that Communism
is the materialist immanentization
of Christianity.
Its structure is not comparable though.
What it does say is that a new humanity
will spontaneously arise if the conditions
are right, which requires the dictatorship
of the proletariat (whose vanguard
and representative is the Party)
to destroy all remnants of bourgeois
reality (i.e. human nature, as we
know it).
Anything that is individual in any
way, whether learning or rank or
property or talent
— all must be destroyed or
made to only serve the party, to
create the right conditions wherein
the Communist man, the true human
who can do all things, will emerge.
As for the structure, it is cell-based.
The cells are absolutely autocratic
and the members do not know each
other and no cell knows other cells.
By the way, the communists are still
around. They didn't evaporate. They
are just using other means for the
same revolution — the green
movement, for one.
