Socialism: An economic system BETWEEN capitalism and communism when there are still rich and poor, the gap is just lessend
But you have to understand that people chose to be rich, poor, etc. The only obligation we have as a country is to enable people to pursue their dreams to earn what they desire. Economic adversity is the result of lack in personal character and work ethnic more then it is from our system.
One good thing about capitalism is that it channels greed to work for the common good. Capitalism with minimum regulation and taxes builds powerful countries especially when it has balance of power when you have a moral religious society.
Communism: The final stage of Marx's dream where there are not rich and poor and Community plans all
That is exactly what kattmandu is advocating. Marx also said that socialism is a transition stage to communism.
Socialism can work. You just can't use it in it's entirety. All socialistic countries that operate well today are mixed. Venezeual, Sweden, and others all have a mixed-market economy that leans more left then right. Socialism and Socialists believe in a pseudo-capitalist society of social reforms, social programs, and money being put back into the system. Sure capitalism works. But does that mean it's the best? Capitalism allows you to buy and sell everything, you can amass funds and resources. Freedom's a resource, you can buy that too. Is that right?
Socialism can work in racially moral homogeneous countries but it will always develop major problems just like Sweden. Capitalism is just the better of the two by far even if it has its flaws. Governments do not create prosperity only free markets systems. When government gets involved with anything they destroy it and it’s not effectively run and that is just something we have to accept.
I think some other countries decided to fall back on their religious fundamental principles. Iran is one. How can we go forward if you insist on pushing us back?
Iran and America are completely different. Both have religious influence yet America became the number one world power while Iran has an oppressive regime. We are still a Christian nation. Comparing America and Iran is comparing day and night. I only want to preserve what made this country great. We wouldn’t be moving back but merely securing religious and moral influence in America.
Secondly we are moving back. The constant mistakes over the last 40 years are catching up with us and moving full force. We are moving down hill rapidly. Unless we return to our founding principles we can’t expect for America to maintain her prosperity.
sell and buy people then ship them to a place where they didn't want to be and force them to work via the whip and chains, is that a "good christian" NOT! If you don't like being the slave don't make anyone else your slave.
Who is to say the slave traders were Christian? How am I making people slaves especially considering my ancestors didn’t own slaves? Secondly whites weren’t slaves? The word Slav came from the word slave. Most European peoples were in slaved at one point in time yet you don’t hear them screaming for reparations.
It’s forbidden in America to discriminate against a minority, to withhold a job from them even if they are not qualified etc. Yet minorities continually complain and demand more like we are indebted to them. We don’t owe them anything.
American blacks on average enjoy more per capita incomes in the range of twenty to fifty times that of blacks living in Africa. Not every white man is an evil racist as the left leads you to believe. Economic adversity is more the result of flaws in personal character rather then racial oppression which has ceased to exist for well over a century.
Most of the people who were the "first christians" were not actually of a "white" race. Being white doesn't make you right. All this "white" crap is blind ignorance to reality.
It’s not a matter of being white but preserving the ethnic status quo of the people who established this country and perpetuated its institutions. This will prevent ethnic, social, and religious problems.
I acknowledge that Europeans and particularly the Anglo-Saxons made this country. Others came to this country because it was already made as a European commonwealth. They did not make it, and yet they are completely changing it. I am determined that they shall not. We can’t surrender it to somebody else or allow other people, no matter what their merits, to make it something different. This will surely meet our demise and change the founding principles that this country was established upon.
The loss of racial, religious, and cultural identity means a change of ideals. It shouldn’t be condemned to secure America as a racially homogeneous state to therefore secure American culture and prosperity. It is absolutely vital to the preservation of our society and we can’t afford to let America be dramatically changed due to a violent attack of multiculturalism and political correctness.
I am a mix of the Nordic, Norman and Blackfoot Indian. Who do I hate? No one. It's more fun to love than to hate, and it costs less and less stress as well.
I as well do not “hate” anyone. I just feel that we should acknowledge the innate differences between races and change our policies accordingly.
The "fall of Rome" began after it took up the christian religion, that was before the "Dark Ages". Rome did well as long as it allowed the peoples of the countries it conquered to keep their own religions.
Actually history is repeating itself. If I am not mistaken Rome fell due to: inflation, massive overpopulation, over immigration, corruption, apathy, and having a huge empire that they couldn’t maintain along with subversion from within etc. Secondly Christians were oppressed in the Roman Empire. It depends what part of time you looking at but I believe when the Rome adopted Christianity as its official religion it was already very weak and almost completely fallen.
A true "follower of Christ" doesn't exist in any of these aledged "christian governments" of the west.
Alleged is correct. We certainly do not have a Christian government in any way shape or form. If we did America would be much better off.
The mega-corporations are just using the religion thing to keep the masses in line and divided against each other so that they (corps) keep their power.
How so? What do mega corporations have to do with the Christian right? If anything corporations have our politicians by the balls while they make promises to the Christian right.
To see and understand this you should read some of Noam Chomsky's writings, he has pretty much figured out how these "leaders" gained and held on to the control of the world.
You have to acknowledge Jewish influence in America. Jewish bankers control the world along with many media moguls and corporate heads that happen to be Jewish.
The tax system as we know it today was in-part set up to have everyone give their fair share to help the poor regardless of their faith or race. Give a poor man some food and you feed him for a day, teach him how to farm and he will help feed the community.
I know, it all sounds so great and noble. But to gain respect you must first give respect.
I see this "respect" issue in the mid-east region as the major cause of the conflicts there.
Respect is earned not given. You pointed out a fundamental principle of the bible and how our alleged “Christian” leaders are not following it. We continually give aid to Africa but that is all we do; give aid. If we just took over their farming for a while to stabilize the region by feeding the people, give aid to infrastructure the problem would be solved. But we cant do this because its not politically correct and the blacks would rather have their people starve then have evil white “imperialists” have anything to do with their country. Thus we continue to give them aid like morons which is a grave insult to the US. It undermines our intelligence and moral principles. We do exactly that give people food day in and day out with no end in sight.
I also see where the "western corporate governments", thirsty for the oil, are using the respect issue to continue the conflicts there. The British failed in 1917-20 to actually convert the people of Iraq to any form of semi-democratic society when they brought in the missonaries from Europe and tried to force them to change.
If we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. Kind of like Bush force feeding democracy in the Middle East. Islam is incompatible with democracy. I would not want to immigrate Muslims to the US strictly due to the acknowledgement of history and current events. I do not want a replay of Bosnia, French and Aussie Race Riots, the large percentage of Muslim immigrants on welfare in European countries, ethnic and religious intolerance by Muslims, etc. Additionally their religion, culture, form of government, ancestry, and countries are radically different and third world dumps compared to the US and it unfortunately would be a grave error to have our immigration policies allow them.
Just because someone is Christian it doesn’t mean they are perfect. Christians sin as they did by trying to force their religion on Muslims in the Middle East. You even said that Jesus said that people should want to serve God and not be forced to therefore it is apparent why they failed in their endeavors.
