Religion and politics are completely incompatible.  People on earth fight for their individual nations, while it should be understood we all have one soul-  That being the Holy Spirit.  The reasons everybody fights for “their own nation” is because, I believe, according to the Bible when everybody spoke “one language,” God that that man may become too powerful,  I think this means that then man wouldn’t have any enemies if they speak the same language the world over.  What God saw that happened to the Soviet Union was that they were becoming too powerful, they were all speaking one language, thus he decided to get rid of the Union, and shattered their many nations into their own language/cultural/state barriers. 

As long as we all speak different languages in the world, there never will be any lasting peace.  Perhaps we need to reason with God, the way Lot did earlier in the Bible.

God has a plan for mankind to follow.  If an individual, a nation, or even a civilization acts contrary to that plan, disaster follows.  How can we ascetain what god wants?  That is why God gave us science!  Get rid of your prejudices, your fixed ideas!  Keep your eyes open and watch as to what actions produce good results, what bad results, and then choose wisely.

As a digression, I wan to note that only highly religious societies have been able to implement communism successfully - from each according to abiity, to each according to need - and those societies are located in the unashamedly capitalistic United States.  The most prominent are the Hutterites and The Brotherhood (or Brethren).
