Socialism is not Christian
Democracy is the road to Socialism -- Karl Marx
The goal of Socialism is Communism -- Vladmir Lenin
Communism, where the government instead of free associations of individuals creates the Commune, is not Christian.
The Early Christians engaged in
Communal-ism, where families bound voluntarily together for a greater goal. Staying was voluntary and leaving was allowed. There was no government involvement.
In Communism, there is not way to "opt out".
"Social" Justice is not real justice. It is Socialism Justice.
Socialism cannot be Biblical because it automatically violates two of the Ten Commandments.
- Thou shall not Steal
- Thou shall not Covet thy neighbors goods
By not being allowed to opt out, your goods are coveted and then stolen from you as soon as you start working harder than your fellow man.
Socialism is automatically prone to corruption, because there is no opt out provision should corruption be sensed; hence, corruption flourishes unchecked in a forced system such as socialism and communism.
I predict future happiness for Americans
IF they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the People
under the pretense of taking care of them.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not
To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has aquired too much, in order to spare others who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association - the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.
The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
A wise and frugal government...shall restrain men from injuring one another. Shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement. And shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it had earned. This is the sum of good government.
--Thomas Jefferson
