[edit] Scouting?

This says nothing about Scouting. And how can a communist be a Scout?Rlevse 02:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Randy, I just hadn't put the Scouting stuff in there (though you know I always will). It was just cart-before-the-horse-it's in there now. As to how a communist can be a Scout, remember the period, there were not yet Pioneers. In Russia, the rightist Scout leaders went into exile, the leftist ones became Pioneer leaders. Scouting has always been apolitical-any Scout camp I've ever been to you'll have political discussions of all stripes, even spirited ones about who should and should not be a Scout. My county is the second-most Republican county in the US (our stretch of interstate is the Ronald Reagan Highway), yet one of the best Scout leaders I ever knew, who died two years ago, perennially tried and failed to run for political office here as a socialist-leaning Democrat. It takes all kinds. Chris 03:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
True communists are atheists...???Rlevse 09:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
At one time or another, various small communist communities existed, generally under the inspiration of Scripture.[1] In the medieval Christian church, for example, some monastic communities and religious orders shared their land and other property. (See religious communism and Christian communism) These groups often believed that concern with private property was a distraction from religious service to God and neighbor.
