520 _a"Communism and Christianism" by William Montgomery Brown is a socio-political critique written in the early 20th century. This work contrasts the principles of Communism with those of Christianity, arguing fundamentally that Marxian socialism represents a revolutionary, naturalistic approach to the societal structure, while Christianity is seen as an outdated, supernaturalistic system that perpetuates class divisions and exploitation. The text suggests that true emancipation for humanity can only come through the abolition of both religious and capitalist structures. At the start of the booklet, the author sets the stage for a radical re-examination of the interplay between religion and social class. The introduction outlines the author's belief that both capitalism and traditional Christianity have an inherent parasitic nature, leading to societal suffering and inequality. Brown argues that as long as theism and capitalism prevail, humanity will continue to endure exploitation and strife. The beginning tackles various themes such as the necessity of a classless society, the ineffectiveness of charity in alleviating poverty, and the call for revolutions—both in thought and in practice—to achieve real change and social justice.
