Pope John Paul II on Communism
"Communism has had its success in this century as a reaction against a certain type of unbridled, savage capitalism which we all know well."

"It was legitimate to fight against the unjust, totalitarian system which defined itself as socialist or communist. ... The proponents of capitalism in its extreme forms tend to overlook the good things achieved by communism: the efforts to overcome unemployment, the concern for the poor."

- from a 1993 interview with Italian journalist Jas Gawronski
