I merely pointed out that historically evolutionism is the world view of choice for communists.

Historically, theism has been the world view of choice for monarchs. You must be a royalist, right?

Do you believe there is no historic realtionship whatsoever bvetween evolutionism and communism?

Only as a matter of convenience. Socialism requires the destruction of all other organizations in civil society. State-sponsored atheism via (in part) evolutionary theory was simply a tool used by communists to cement their power and eliminate churches as competitors for the hearts and minds of the masses. If Lenin thought he could sell communism as a revelation from God, and thereby co-opt religion, I have little doubt he would have done so, and we would now be discussing the divine right of the Bolshevik party, rather than their preference for athiesm.

And, of course, they were simply wrong about any supposed link between atheism and evolution, as they were wrong about so many other things. The truth of evolution does not imply the falsity of God, regardless of whether they believed so or not.

Only an evolutionist would draw that kind of conclusion.

"Only as a matter of convenience."

Evolutionism is certainly a convenient way of disposing with truth.
