Communism is primarily an eco- nomic movement. It follows in the footsteps of socialism in seeking what* is believed "to bhe a more, equitable distribution of the. world's goods. Its supporters are motivated by ueed, sympatby or viudictiveness,. and in consequeue. niight respectively be labeled 1as 'reds,",,"piuiks,", or - "pur- pies." The people Who support or profess to believe in cominunisrn know very littie more about it than do those Who -oppose it, aud,,with very f e% exceptionis. neither kuows auythiug about.it. On the oue baund commnu- nism is the namue for "sometbing ývich will cure alVof our troubles"; on the other band it is simply a naine for "somnething which is .believed té coustitute .a tbreat against our *sa- cred' institutions." So reailv what couimunisi actually is. does notrmatter very niuch. What. does nmatter is that something is -wroug with our establisbed order or the wav ini which it works, appareutly pemnitting people to starve- in the raidst, of plenty. XVhat does. matter is. that 'one typ)e o.f tbiuking. wants to reniedy the situation by revolu- tionizing the establishied order, xhile anoth'er type of thinking, no less stu- pid thanl the first, iusists that our "sqacred" institutions inav n ot even Ipe challenged, let atone disturbed.
