From a Christian perspective, why did Marxist communism fail?
From a Christian perspective, why did Marxist communism fail? From a
Christian point of view, Marxism failed primarily because of its
atheistic perspective. Despite philosophies that are in many ways
compatible to Christian ethics, both Marx himself, and the governments
that chose to govern on the basis of his philosophies, expressly forbade
the practice of religion. Marxist believed that under capitalism, man
is alienated from other men and from himself. According to Marxist, man
can only overcome alienation by doing away with private property and
creating a communist society. Socialist economic policy reflects that
notion by attempting to equalize the distribution of wealth and stronger
governmental economic controls. As Christians God warns us not to use
coervice power from the state to bend society into conformity with his
kingdom. Not to fall prey to the secular myth that the state can
transform you. The state can influence behavior by taking peoples
property, livelihood, and families. But as shown in the rapid
disappearance of communism philosphy’s influence on Eastern Europe in
the 1900’s.
