There are lots of good Christians who could be good communists if atheist communists weren’t so dogmatic spiteful and dismissive.

Yup, if they do convert to communists, their stories will be similar to Gaspar García Laviana or other liberation theology christians that joined the guerrilla to topple fascist dictators throughout Latam. This writing helps clear how some made the jump to great communists.

“Somozaism is a sin, and freeing ourselves from oppression is freeing ourselves from sin.”

His poetry, letters, and reflections show that his decision to become a guerrilla fighter was not an act of desperation, but the logical consequence of his faith. As he wrote in Campesino 2 :

“I felt your poverty in my flesh…
I wanted to extinguish your poverty with legalistic justice;
when I couldn't, I became a guerrilla fighter.”
