The [[Heritage Foundation]] declares about [[atheism and socialism]]:
{{Cquote|Socialism in all its forms — [[Marxism-Leninism]] in the [[Soviet Union]], [[Maoism]] in [[China]], “state socialism” in India, “democratic socialism” in Sweden, National Socialism in [[Nazi]] [[Germany]] — has never come close to realizing the classless ideal of its founding father, [[Karl Marx]]. Instead, socialists have been forced to adopt a wide range of capitalist measures, including private ownership of railroads and airlines ([[United Kingdom]]), special economic zones (China), and open markets and foreign investment ([[Sweden]]).
Marx was an atheist socialist who insisted that his was the only “scientific” socialism based not on wishful thinking but the inexorable laws of history. The whole of history, declared Marx and his close collaborator and friend Friedrich Engels, is the history of the class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The inevitable collapse of capitalism and the victory of the proletariat would end the conflict and usher in a classless society and pure socialism or communism (Marx used both terms interchangeably)...
There were the costs in thought control. The content of everything in print and broadcast was limited to authorized “truths.” The Soviet press dismissed the 1932-33 forced famine in Ukraine that took the lives of seven million innocents as an anti-communist myth....
This is the reality of socialism — a pseudo-religion grounded in pseudo-science and enforced by political tyranny. This is the case against socialism — a god that failed, a science that never was, a political system headed for the ash heap of history.<ref>[https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/what-americans-must-know-about-socialism What Americans Must Know About Socialism]</ref>}}
