No harm was done if lesser principles were sacrificed in the attainment of the ultimate goal. In any case, this instance showed that as a permanent system of political economy, Communism failed to translate its policies regarding landownership into action, and that in tackling this ques- tion the Communists had to borrow ideas from other systems. This glaring failure of the Communist system demonstrates the inherent superiority of the Islamic economic system, and shows that Communism is not a principled philosophy, rather just a political movement seeking to strengthen Russia.

Stephen King-Hall, a member of the British Parliament, recently visited Russia and published an article in the ‘Soviet Union News’, in which he stated that Russia currently had two goals: First, the reconstruction of Russia, and second, to make it the best and richest country in the world.
