Derivative ideology Communism first enveloped Judeo- Christian countries. Communism is a kind of dialectical opposition to Judeo- Christianity, but in its opposition, contains its essential elements. Persons play out their allotted role given by history. Reminiscent of Job, even the ends justify the means. Heaven on earth, the worker's paradise, is fated as a consequence of inevitable dialectical process, but here on earth, collectively, rather than individually.
Communism is judeo- christianity without the afterlife.
Christian beliefs serves to contrast the deep ontological assumptions that separate the two world views. In the Hindu- Buddhist perspective, the soul is subject to an evolutionary and developmental process. The analogs to heaven, hell, and purgatory derive from human thought and action. In comparison to the Christian doctrine of special creation and fixed reward, the doctrine of Karma and reincarnation seems optimistic and hopeful. The individual soul is responsible for its fate and evolution and is permitted multiple opportunities for congruence with the ultimate.
