Embedded deep within the ideology of Bolshevik communism is the politics of envy
Churchill went so far as to actually call it the gospel of envy. He also said that if Europe united under such a philosophy, it would result in squalor, which is where that continent is headed for the most part.

It is still all the rage. Just cloaked in different terminology. Social justice. Income equality. Redistribution. Subsidies. Entitlements. Political correctness.

Now it's so ubiquitous as to be invisible.

Marian apparition at Fatima, July 13, 1917

"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart, and the Communion of Reparation on the First Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace; if not, she will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, various nations will be annihilated. In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me and she will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world."

The communist revolution in Russia transpired in October, 1917.

Exactly 33 years to the day prior to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, that is, on October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a remarkable vision. When the aged Pontiff had finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to his office, he composed the above prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere.

When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices - two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:

The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: "I can destroy your Church."

The gentle voice of Our Lord: "You can? Then go ahead and do so."

Satan: "To do so, I need more time and more power."

Our Lord: "How much time? How much power?

Satan: "75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service."

Our Lord: "You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will."

In 1886, Pope Leo XIII decreed that this prayer to St. Michael be said at the end of "low" Mass (not "high", or sung Masses) throughout the universal Church, along with the Salve Regina (Hail, Holy Queen); and the practice of the congregation praying these prayers at the end of Mass continued until about 1970, with the introduction of the new rite of the Mass.

"Churchill went so far as to actually call it the gospel of envy."

Churchill was accurate in his description.
The Bible also calls it "covetousness".
There's a reason that tenth commandment from the Creator. Socialism/Communism is covetousness enshrined and imposed by government.

They got smart and realized they couldn’t be “naked” communists,

but they had to “progress” to communism.

“...let’s face it: The only guys spending the money were the guys who worked at the Kremlin.) Tellingly, this soon-to-be super power didn’t produce much of value.”

-Sounds EXACTLY like Washington DC -NOW.

Communism hasn’t gone away. It renamed itself “democrat.”
