Why is communism a problem in the Catholic Church?
The ideology of communism as proposed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles promote an aggressively atheistic approach in the social structure of a population. This is due to the concept of a materialism which is heavily imbued in the doctrine of communism. This social ideology also enforces the obliteration of individual rights, for the benefit of the community. Communism does not recognize the individual as significant in comparison to the community and this is against the Catholic social stance that each individual lives a sacred existence alongside the community. Communism's materialistic and atheistic approach to existence is in grave conflict with the Catholic Church.

How quickly did social stratification begin after communism fell in Russia?
Social stratification began to take hold in Russia soon after the fall of communism in the early 1990s. Privatization of state assets, emergence of oligarchs, and economic reforms led to widening wealth gaps and inequalities among the population. The transition to a market economy created new social classes and exacerbated income disparities within Russian society.
Is Communism in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?
No, in fact, the "LDS" church is a relatively conservative organization and was very anti-communist when communism was an issue. Some confuse a religious practice of early mormonism with "communism". Early mormonism had a group that was assigned to practice what they called the "united order". That group shared all resources, had communal crops, were given according to their needs and generally proved that communism would never work. The Mormon practice of the unted order differed from communism: communism was anti-religion and used extreme tactics to keep their people in line. Mormonism used their religious beliefs to get people to commit to their social experiment. **Actually, I think what the previous answer is referring to is early LDS members attempt at practicing the Law of Consecration. According to LDS doctrine, this is a higher law than tithing, in that all possessions and resources are shared in meaning to further church and church members benefit. Never heard of the above 'social experiment' but for a while all church members tried to practice it, but the law was retracted. Leaders said that God did not believe them ready. So yes, people failed in this religious and extremist-free version of communism. But it was never a small experiment.
