Communist:friend: That wasn't REAL Communism, try again!
How many people died during the settling of the US? No communism there.
Yes but "Whitness" was sure there.
who invented European style communism?
Some of the more benevolent aspects of Socialist ldealogy was found in the teachings of Jesus Christ more than 2000 years before
another Jew updated those teachings sans the religiosity. Capitalists have served mammon well, embracing the love of money over the love of humanity. Name an evil that plagues the earth. At the root of that evil
Is the love of money. It matters not which socio economic paradigm is put to the test.
The evils of Capitalism or the evils of Communism come about when the greed of despots and oligarchs override the health and welfare of the masses over whom they govern.
Logically, a mixture of Socialism and Capitalism in the right measure is ideal.
Apparently large swaths of the American population has accepted that reality. These
citizens are middle of the road; and, they control the flow of political power between the two major parties with their uncommitted
voting patterns. I'm one of those...regardless of any labels you try to attach to me....
Yes Jesus had taught socialism and communism. But look at what He had done to the one that did not do what the others were doing. Socialism can only work if corporations and politicians were doing their part as well as the others. But I see that Big Pharma will not create medicines just to help others rather than for a large profit. Everyone has to be willing to work for other for free, as if they are their own family. As the same way parents works for their own Children for free.But nobody doesn't want to help thy neighbor.
Acts 4:32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.
Acts 5:1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
Matthew 20:9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
