"The main structural principles of Communism are either identical with, or implied in, those of Christianity" said John Macmurray, in a contribution to a symposium on Communism and Christianity published in 1935. The statement sets the problem for this thesis. It is not suggested here merely that there are superficial resemblances in the respective forms of the two movements, but rather that there is an essential similarity, and that this similarity is best seen in a comparison of the Party and the Church. At the same time it is acknowledged that there is an important dissimilarity between the two movements; an attempt must be made, therefore, to indicate what this is.
