There is no empirical evidence to suggest that Communism is remotely feasible. And yet, Communists have faith that it is.
Faith is not a religious monopoly. Everyone has faith. Atheists have faith. You have faith. You have faith when you believe you can make it one more mile on an empty tank of gas, you have faith when you believe that your lotto card will have the winning numbers, you have faith when you believe the girl you like will say yes when you ask her out. Everyone has faith; and faith is in everything. That religious faith happens to place belief in cosmic, metaphysical, primordial, interdimensional, supernatural, or universal concepts does not make it any more absurd than the faith you regularly and subconsciously display in every day life.
