(302) purposes, they were under the capitalist and the imperialist domination. The decaying Islamic feudalism is still taking its last breaths in certain part of the Arab world but it is impotent and lifeless. The Islamic feudalism succumbed to British Imperialism in Bhārata. Islam became the stooge of foreign Imperalism in the age of Capitalism. It has ceased to be a driving social force.
Religion played the role of a materialist institution on the long drawn stage of world history. It has no role to play now. It ceased to be a force against social disintegration. It has no driving force left now to change the dying tribal Aryan society to a newer form. Its highest form, the communism, has accepted the force of spiritualism in its foundation. Spiritualism has powerfully penetrated into the domain of Materialism in a direct and pronounced manner. When the Spirituo-materialist socialist society, under the banner of communism, will shake off its tribalism and establish the purest communist society; that communist society shall be wholly founded on spiritualism. Spiritual Communism is the ultimate end of humanity.
