Well, if you're dealing with an actual hardcore socialist, I imagine it would be as pointless as trying to debate with a Trumpster.

You may as well be trying to communicate with a wild-eyed teenage jihadi on the streets of Damascus.

A quick couple of jabs and a roundhouse heal to the head and they go down like a wet rag. Won't even break a sweat.

No matter how bass-ackwards, contradictory, and nonsensical the moonbats are, ya' just can't win an argument with the idiots.

Back in the day, it was easy to fight a socialist...

Ask Fidel Castro... He fought off the Great Satan Inc for over 1/2 century.

Fight them? Naw, I just get Mac1958 to blow them.

I like this organisation, but mostly because of their petitions against abortion, satanism, lgbtq, and a organic christian state and society. I slightly might not be sure what to make out of their hardcore capitalist views. On one hand I do believe that free enterprise creates wealth, and that the state should not interfere in our private property or privacy, rights etc. the state should not tell us what to do. but on the other hand i want to help the needy, the poor etc. and im not sure if solely charity is enough, i think wealth distribution is neccessary and so are taxes, but i think the moderately wealthy should not highly taxed, i think austria makes a mistake to tax highly the moderately wealthy or middle class, because they turn more poor then the poor, it is more profitable to earn minimum then to earn moderately, after all the high taxes, you have less then what you should. but i think the really rich, billoinares, etc. should be taxed. i see the neccessity of wealth distribution, taxes etc. also to create free enterprise you need equal opportunities, not everyone is equally hard working, equally capable, but equal opportunitiy is neccessary or only a elite of inherited wealth will be able to be rich, and that is not free enterprise anymore, or earned by hard work, but by privilege, if someone is poor, and has no access to healthcare, food, housing, universities he cannot create free enterprise or be educated, and do great things, thats why in order for some outstanding individuals to create outstanding success and create wealth and for free enterprise not to turn into a oligarchy but to remain mobile and flexible it is important for everyone to have equal access to healthcare, food, housing, universities, etc.

Im not sure what they think though, I would like to ask them. What do you think about my opinions?

I asked the author of the Book ReturnToOrder and vice director of the organisation some questions about his views.. i outlined my doubts like i did here.... he really replied... i was not sure whether he will reply...

Dear Svetozar,

Thank you for your kind email and questions.

The economic views that we hold are found in the book, Return to Order. They are not hardcore capitalist views but rather views of private property based on the teachings of the Church.
According to these teachings both the Church and the State have duties and obligations to help the poor and needy. The rich also have the same obligation of charity and should do so as well. In a truly Christian society everyone is encourage to practice charity and help those in need. In a modern society, everyone is individualistic and only thinks about themselves. What is needed is a change of mentality.
The state can tax citizens to carry out programs but should not punish them for making more since it defeats the purpose of taxes. It will discourage people from earning more and cause more poverty.

I believe the biggest problem is not an economic problem but a moral one. People are too attached to sin to care for others. This is what is taking our society to ruin. That is why we need a return to order.
I hope this helps. God bless and Merry Christmas!

In Jesus and Mary,

John Horvat

Tried to watch the video, but it was nothing about socialism and only about abortion.
There is no religion that is not socialist.
So I think this thread is very confused and ignorant most likely.
Humans are socialist by nature.
Have you ever heard of a family that raised their children for profit, charging them for food and rent?
That would be illegal child labor.
