[GSlob]

Communism is a way of life much more than an ideology or a state regime. By focusing on only one of multiple meanings of this word ["Communist ideology is a conviction"] Andrei Kuraev is engaging in self-interested sophistry, and is unworthy of consideration or rebuttals.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Au contraire. Communism is an all encompassing system which controls all of ones life and forbids dissent, at least in practice if not in doctrine, and seeks world domination in furtherance of that.
