C.S. Lewis on Fascism and Communism (paraphrased by me)
Fascism and Communism are powerful because of the good that they imitate. This "good" is appealing to some, because of those who have left humanity starved of that particular need (or good).
We must stand guard against the penetration of politics into Christianity, especially the extreme Left and Right ideologies. They will feed upon, and exploit the openings provided by our inattention and ignorance.
We will presently see both a Leftist and a Rightist pseudo-theology developing and this will be an abomination! (Lewis had these thoughts over fifty years ago...looks like he was correct.)
