From a psychological perspective, communism is basic to individual and family life. Each Catholic family to a greater or lesser degree is a communist unit. The house or living space, the furniture, the food, the health care, the recreation and pets, and the mode of transportation are held in common. Husbands and wives are not landlords or capitalists charging rent or making a profit off the labor of their spouse or children. For Catholic communists the working class is our extended family.
Communists take a positive view of themselves and their class.
They have a tradition of celebrating their class and defending it against the brainwashing of capitalist media, educators and clergy. They have their own patron saints, feast days, clergy, street pageants, pilgrimages, and prayers, which celebrate labor. In rural areas the symbolic rituals are related to the productive cycle, that is, the harvest year. These rituals glorify labor and productivity. In 1629 he did a study of working people in the bible and of God's love of them.
