ABSTRACT
The aims of the Soviets are the aims of idealists. There is spiritual idealism in Soviet aims, which make the renunciation of the great religious books all the more striking. The ideals of the Bible have become working aims with the Soviets. In some of its aims, the Russian Revolution was a repetition of the French Revolution—revolt against a tyrannical, hereditary royalty, and then distribution of the land. The Soviet aims are the aims of all reform, namely to bring politics and economics in line. The social aims impinge upon the realm of religious idealism. The Soviets aim to give even the incompetent adequate social and medical care, education, recreation, and protection in old age. Social justice is the watchword of the Soviet aims. The spiritual aims of the Soviets are shot through with the yearnings and aspirations of the prophets of all time.
