Im not very well educated in Christianity, but as far as i know Jesus was aligned with communist ideals, he was extremely egalitarian.

Do you think we should think of the catholic church as a possible ally or would that be counterproductive?

Do you think anti-religion is fundamental to Marxism?

Do you think the anti-religious stance of the Soviets was a mistake?

I personally think trying to work with them instead of against them in places were they are deeply integrated with the population would be the obvious choice.

I am ofcourse talking exclusively about the Catholics only and not the Orthodox or Evangelist.

PD, im not religious. Im a Budhhist, but i dont think of it as a religion.

I'm gonna say no because regardless of any circumstances that might make the church and communists temporary allies, the interests of the two groups are irreconcilable. One wants to liberate humanity from the abuse that is enabled and justified by motivated, power serving epistemology, while the existence of the other depends on maintaining that kind of epistemology.
