Communism.

In dealing with Communism, Dr. Mitchell pointed out that Communism disregards number (5) of these principles, for Communism places material things above spiritual ideals (the old "feed the brute" method), and also regards man as being first and foremost an economic agent, Marx was right in so far as he saw that the conflict in the world to-day is not a conflict of things but of persons—i.e., that it is not capitalism but the capitalist who is the stumbling-block to society. But he failed in that he emphasised the material aspect of society to the complete neglect of the spiritual aspect. He had not grasped the fact that man is not so much a product of his physical environment as he is (or should be!) the creator of a spiritual environment, by means of which he can bring his physical environment more into conformity with his ideals.
