How I came to study communism

I know an individual who was my best friend whom I met in 3rd grade. We remained friends until 1972 when I converted to christianity. I shared with him some things regarding this conversion and as time went on, he declared himself to be an atheist. He even went so far as to say that "You christians are just like communists" Well, in spite of the fact that I had heard about communism before in school during world culture class, I really didn't understand all there was involved in the system. I began to study it and in conclusion realized that he was more like a communist than I ever could be. In upcoming posts I will delve further into this subject. Keep watching.
