Shocking title? Myself and another fiend were talking about the current state of affairs on politics and he said for all my anti-communist/socialist he finds it hard to believe that I have accepted so much of the teachings of Christ and what seem to be a socialist view point on how life should be. I reminded him that communism in theory sounds great but in actuality it usually leads to unrestricted power, not saying that capitalism is any better we are in the learning phases that CEO's can be just as ruthless as dictators. We than talked about a few topics that the early reign church had similar with socialist views and where things changed. I proposed the idea that the early church changed the minute the christian church leaders started letting others die for them and kill instead of dying for the people who are the church. Once all the disciples were killed off exactly what they had forewarned everyone would happen did the wolves set in on the sheep and there didn't seem to be any good shepherds left to protect the sheep so they were exploited. I don't see any of our current government leaders or exalted church leaders of any faith willing to wash the feet of their disciples in modern times let alone die for them.

Greetings EvanHunter.

Pretty good discourse here. Imo, no human government works well unless Christ is the center of it. Well, that won't happen until Christ returns. Then there will be a theocracy.

Well, I am glad you accept there also have been no good capitalist governments. Please do not make the mistake of equating socialism with communism, much socialist activity pre-dates Marx.

Now there has been some good socialist activity. Formation of Unions, those brave young heroes of the English union movement who suffered and died to win reasonable and safe conditions and fair wages for the workers of the world. Truly good and honest men

Thank you for the reply. I have known a few business leaders who have paid there workers well and who haven't exploited them. But those are few and far between compared to the corporate world.

Yes, that's true
