Socialism vs Philanthropy

Socialism vs Philanthropy. Randall Niles looks at the current notion that New Testament scripture supports a socialist economic system. Whether socialized healthcare, socialized industry, or socialized charity, the early Christians in the Bible actually demonstrated a philanthropic system.

Socialism is actually rooted in Marxism, an economic and social system based upon the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. While it would take veritably volumes to explain the full implications and ramifications of the Marxist social and economic ideology, Marxism is summed up in the Encarta Reference Library as a theory in which class struggle is a central element in the analysis of social change in Western societies. Marxism is the antithesis of capitalism which is defined by Encarta as an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, characterized by a free competitive market and motivation by profit. Marxism is the system of socialism of which the dominant feature is public ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange.

One small thing. You used the word "ability" no the meaning is DUTY. That is where we fail so the state picks up the pieces. And it is only an experiment if it has not been proven. Proofe would be the UK, France , Germany , Canada. Hell Cube has a more Christian system for medicine and education than the USA.

Around the "free" world social medicine and Education is the norm. The USA has much of that structure in place but is balking on social medicine.

Thank you for being one of the few who has the courage to openly admit the political motivation that drives christianity today.

Am not religious in the slightest but i can't help agree with what you say. In an ideal world philanthropy would work better only the worlds not a ideal place is it? So on balance government does have to provide intervention.

@Notasthinkasudrunkim I'll pray for you.

@leilalarouge The thing is, we don't want to be controlled. That is tyranny against the individual. It's not freedom. You cannot force someone to do something they do not wish to do.

[leilalarouge]

OH MY GOD LOWER YOUR EYEBROWS!!! Also, I would definitely contest that capitalist Christians are more philantropic than socialists. Socialism is merely a more controlled form of philanthropy, so that people who aren't philantropic out of the goodness of their hearts (be that taught religiously or not) are forced to be. Which is definitely a good thing. Sadly the world cannot rely on philanthropy.

what do you mean socialized education? it's already socialized our tax dollars fund it, in fact i would go a step further and have the government pay for more peoples college tuition. and other government run programs work great, you wouldn't privatize your police would you? If the government ran a non-profit public option it would help cover the 50 million americans without health insurance. Why does france have the number one health care in the world? why is America thirty-seventh?

@MrCoolguy6273 And that's why only fucktards are actually following that book and can't see the the world from more than its perspective. The world ain't a dichotomy get over it.

I think I just insulted 1/4 of the earth's population . . . that's kinda sad.

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 (New International Version) 11Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, 12so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will NOT BE DEPENDENT ON ANYBODY.
