The various incarnations of communism are basically just warmed over apocalyptic theology. This one statement is great at pissing off both groups but it is true. Belief in the "inevitability" of a utopia of the righteous, subordination of the individual to the "righteous leaders"? It is an idea of the greater good alright - one meant to excuse every atrocity. That is what most people want out of religion - an easy way to be always right.
