HAMMER OF OPPRESSION, SICKLE OF DEATH
Communism continues to be a major force of oppression worldwide,
oppression not only of Christians but of everyone, including the Communists
themselves. Communism is a powerful totalitarian ideology that when implemented
oppresses entire societies. Perhaps the greatest evil of Communism is its utter
devaluation of human life. In Communism, the means justifies the end, in
particular, murder, including mass murder, is justified if it accomplishes the
end of accomplishing the establishment, propagation, and maintenance of
totalitarianism. When the totalitarian system is in place, practically no
measure of political or individual resistance, including war itself, is able to
depose it. Exceptions to this statement are few. The fall of the Berlin Wall is
a miraculous outcome. It is indeed sound advice to encourage recourse to
prayer, for it is truly the only weapon that can check and ultimately defeat
the bane of Communism.

There may be elements of Communism that are compatible with Christianity but Communism with all its essential elements intact is most definitely unchristian.

There are some elements of capitalist ideology that deserve condemnation, for example, a fundamentalist libertarianism that understands the maximization of individual freedom as the be-all and end-all of society and the state. However, it would in my opinion be misconceived in no small measure to condemn the capitalist system wholesale. Capitalism in practice creates wealth, and goods and services that make life better. It is a two-edged sword.
