A SUPERB ESSAY: good quote to pique your interest: ... the Stalinists would use against the United States the problems inherent in a capitalistic nation that adheres to the rule of law. In a Soviet system, victory is defined not as getting ahead of the other fellow but rather by having him fall behind you. The Cardinal Sin that marks communism the most is Envy. Thomas Aquinas said, “Envy according to the aspect of its object is contrary to charity, whence the soul derives its spiritual life. Charity rejoices in our neighbor’s good, while envy grieves over it.”
