Yes, the aim is equality and the end of class struggle. But the communism we know of so far banned religion and saw it as a negative element of society, superstition and backwardness. That is the communism we know of so far (20th century communism). And most communist thinkers are atheists, once they read the marxist canon, they can't accept God...Therefore, chances are high to be an atheist if you are a communist. Thats my only objection to communism...

Human beings are naturally driven towards God. All traditional societies and civilizations had the vertical as the centre of their realms. We as human beings have the need to nourish our Soul. It is only when the 18th/19th century's philosophical materialism emerged, and the idea of " industrial progress" came to be that Man has started to become Godless, atheist.. That said, to come back to the question "why does God care if we worship him" I would argue that he does care simply because he created us, and because we are inherently deistic creatures. Arguing the opposite, i.e., we are not deistic creatures and God does not exist would lead us to reject the entire history of humanity i its quest for the Divine (a part from the Enlightment up until now)

Hi everyone,

First time here, so I'll give it a shot.

In my opinion, I think that communism is one of the most rigorous and important political philosophies/ ideologies in the history of humanity. Marx's unveiling of the idea that history has been driven by class struggle, i.e ruling elite vs oppressed classes, and the marxist analysis of the Capitalist mode of production has yet to be bettered. That said, in my opinion I think that despite communism being a hope of love for humanity in that it want to abolish human suffering and misery, it also leaves no room for spiritual emancipation. In a nutshell, while communism claims emancipation in the material world, it leaves no room for spiritual religious emancipation, i.e.. reaching God and finding peace. Most communist people Ive read and that I know of personally are atheists mainly because they stick to Dialectial Materialism, which claims that there's nothing more that matter in motion. To conclude, communism is as I said a hope of love and prosperity but only in the material world. Nothing is left for vertical nourishment. Id like to hear you opinion!

Best,

Saad
