A: A false Christianity, a counterfeit Christianity, the materialization of the spirit, the anthropomorphism of God, the overturning of all values, the incarnation of the world, both philosophically and politically. Marxism is prison. In the Marxist spirit, all values, all reason ing, all things, all actions become a prison for Man. Marx refused any transcendence.
Q: And socialism?
A: Socialism is a bizarre mixture of Communism and bourgeois materialism.
Q: And nationalsocialism?
A: A confused and vague response to Marxism.
Q: Is Christian socialism possible?
A: Christianity is, before all else, a spirituality, but it also has its own historical expression. It is found in the service of mankind, and therefore we can speak of a Christian socialism, but I would prefer to call it communitarism, simply in order to distinguish it from Marxist atheist socialism. The very essence of these two concepts is in opposition to each other, as are the historical forms that they give rise to, as well as their results.
Q: What do you think of Western social Christianity?
A: It has no chance of success because it’s not strong enough. The world needs living water in order to awaken it from the dead water of materialism. It is waiting, therefore, for a definition and affirmation of an integral Christian socialism.
Q: Can Marxism possibly be confused with Communism or Sovietism?
A: Atheism, scientism, the legitimacy of historical dialectics, class hatred and the dictatorship of the prole tariat, all these Marxist principles stand at the basis of Communism and Sovietism. Nothing happens in the international Communist movement outside of Marx.
Q: Has Stalin brought anything new?
A: Stalin is a faithful embodiment of Marxism Leninism. Just like Stalin are Mao, Trotsky, Ana Pauker, Gheorghiu Dej and all those who are like them. It is a big mistake to confuse Communism with a person; apart from Marx and Lenin, all Communists are made of the same stuff. The struggle [should not be] with [its leaders], but with the very concept of Communism – that is the poison!
Q: Isn’t a conflict between Communists possible?
A: If Christian love has not succeeded in ridding the world of hatred, how then will things be in the Communist world, which believes in hatred?! Conflicts between Communists are inherent (and violent), but they don’t resolve problems, but only aggravate them. Mankind can only be saved by returning to Christ.
Q: Was the Soviet Revolution Russian?
A: Russians and all the Soviet peoples are the material with which the architects of Communism have constructed the Soviet empire. It is certainly true that the material has its role and its importance in a construction, but what is important is the concept that stands at the base of the construction. Russians are the first victims of Marxism. Lenin himself is no longer a Russian, for his thinking is westernized.
Q: How do you explain Marx’s hatred for religion?
A: Marx denies Christ and also Moses, and every founder of religion. Marx denies the priority of spirit over matter. He justifies his hatred of religion by point ing out its historical inability to resolve the social prob lems of oppressed and exploited peoples. As a result, he declares religion “the opium of the people,” he replaces love with hatred, and replaces freedom with tyr anny and proletariat dictatorship. He rejects spirituality and thereby makes nothingness the absolute of the world. Marx becomes the world’s god – he, poor Marx, who was in fact a spiritual amputee, with a narrow and obscure outlook, putting venom in everything he did, a man who was embittered, possessed, fanatical, limited, unrealistic.
Q: If Marxism is so obtuse, how can we explain its explosion in the world, which has astonished the 20th century with its dominant role?
A: Marx made use of major ideas that can mobilize people but which acquired a degraded sense in the context of Marxism. Marx played upon all the weak nesses of the bourgeois world, which was indeed a cruel reality, and mobilized the world in revolution. He led many astray through the complexity of the concept of historical dialectic materialism. Anyone who does not look at Marx or Marxism or Communism from a spiritual perspective risks being lured away by Marxism.
Q: What is the most repulsive aspect of Communism?
A: Its poverty is hard to endure, its imprisonment of man within a system is indeed serious, but nothing is more dreadful than the determination of conscience, which transforms man into a controlled tool.
Q: But doesn’t Communism have its weaknesses, its cracks, its fissures?
A: It has many ideological “fissures,” but they are kept concealed, for Communist power cannot accept any freedom [outside of it], it cannot give anyone the right to criticize or deny Communism. Communist tyranny is formidable. [Communism was created to be] an institutionalized system that holds on to power relentlessly and which seeks at any and all cost to extend it self. The prospects of a triumphant Communist empire in this century are opening up with a degree of dark ness never before imagined. “Reeducation” at Piteti is but a symbol of the new Communist world order.
Q: Therefore what future do you see for humankind?
A: God works in the world. Mankind will be delivered through many sufferings and Communism will be defeated, but the world has even more serious problems to solve. The world must change its style of life and its orientation. Therefore Communism will perish, but what is important is what will replace it.
