W. sees no difference between Christianity and socialism, he says. No difference between Christianity and communism. Religion is only ever about this world – W.'s always been insistent on that.
The trouble lies in finding this world, because it's been hidden from us. We've lost it, and lost ourselves: isn't that what Kierkegaard teaches us? We have to understand the real object of our despair, Kierkegaard says. We have to understand what we lack. This world, W. says, this world is paradise.
