Did you read just one of my posts and think you had my stance on the issue? The communist regimes you use as examples are perverted dictatorships. The capitalist system we are currently living in could be called a corporate autocracy - another form of dictatorship. There are countries which find a way to balance these competing perverse tendencies way better then we do (nothing is ever perfect) for the common good for all. We should emulate them.I dont think ur quite understanding what I am saying, whatever starts off as pure, ultimately becomes corrupt when u take God out of the equation. Im not going to have a secular argument because ur missing that dimension, America has drifted away from that element as it has been subverted by the "radical left wing values" and is holding on for dear life. Be sure if we embraced even middle ground, it is sure to be corrupted again without a bedrock of moral values? where do we get them.
Capitalism doesnt mean u dont help the poor tho. Thats a corruption of the privatisation of profit. See u say its a false dichotomy but ur equating that, to what u see capitalism doing now, it doesnt mean it is being represented correctly, and yes there are more than 2 options that is why im sure u will take the third, the antichrists utopia.
and not as a ruling class are there more than those dichotomies or at least one that doesnt place someone in rule over another, which means again falling on there own morality, with no humble standard. Communism is the worst representation of this in my opinion.
this scene springs to mind, even amongst it all the thought of the people having a fair shake is laughed at, game of thrones showing an inkling of the truth. play from the time 5:16.
I’m not “secular” and my understanding of the Christian faith - and the words of Jesus himself - is that it calls on us to find something better then the corrupt autocracy’s of any flavor that exploit the needy. God didn’t say sit around on your arse and wait for him to return to take care of everything.
