Every century seems to produce a new generation tempted by the same old illusion: that society can be perfected if only the government has enough power. This dream, called Communism, has returned in many disguises socialism, “equity,” or so-called “progressive” policies. But no matter the name, the result is the same: the destruction of human freedom and the soul of the nation.
Communism fails because it misunderstands the human person. It denies God, and when God is denied, man loses his dignity. The state becomes the new idol. Families become tools of the system, and truth is replaced by propaganda.
We don’t have to look far for proof. The twentieth century was filled with broken promises: millions died in gulags, families were separated, churches were closed, and the human spirit was silenced.
Even today, those who live under communist or totalitarian regimes know the fear of speaking freely they know what it means when “the Party” replaces conscience.
Freedom, as the Founding Fathers of America understood, depends on virtue. Virtue depends on faith. Remove faith, and freedom collapses under its own weight.
The modern world tries to forget this lesson. Some universities glorify Marxism as if it were an intellectual experiment rather than a human tragedy. Some politicians praise centralized control, calling it “justice.” Yet history teaches otherwise: the more power the state takes, the less space there is for the family, the church, and the individual soul.
True equality does not come from making everyone the same it comes from recognizing that each person is created in the image of God. That truth alone defeats every ideology.
Our task is not only to reject Communism but to teach why it fails to remind our children that freedom and responsibility are inseparable. And to rebuild what ideology has tried to erase: faith, family, and the courage to tell the truth.
