The bible says to welcome the migrant, it says to care for those who can't care for themselves, it says to care for the 'least of these', it says to care for children,, it says to care for others, it says to love our neighbours and our enemies, yet far too many people who claim to be Christian are happy to unleash the human rights abuses that we've seen Australia unleash on innocent asylum seekers and refugees. We particularly called this out, because Australia's conservative politicians are more than happy to exploit their religion for votes. Morrison even had a photo op in a church, supposedly worshiping God, yet his actions towards others are anything but Christian.

Problem is, you can't. Socialism exists because people are murdered by the powerful, greedy, prideful people that run it. It benefits those who do not upset the people in power. Socialism is a myth. Your arguments are delusional at best. Why should YOU have any say over how much I make or what I buy? Where I live and what clothing I get to wear? Your ideas are rooted in jealousy. You don't have so you don't want others to have. I'm not saying that capitalism is the best. I'm just saying that you should stop trying to convince people that socialism is this wonderful utopia where all men and women will live happily ever after.

It is most sad today that even though one of capitalisms base principles is 'free-will' there is no way for anyone to access basic needs unless they subject themselves to the system of capitalism - which is ironic considering that being homeless forces you to break the law (this is based on personal experience), so not only are you required either legally or morally to be housed, clothed, etc, you are also required to compete against your fellow community members in order to access those basic of needs.<br /><br />What is most disappointing however is that religions of today do not like to address capitalism because it is in the too hard basket now.<br /><br />I have come up with a model called the way of the custodian which enables individuals (or families) to renounce capitalism without having to go through all the ridicule of being 'different', and which co-exists alongside capitalism - it would actually benefit both those who employ it and capitalism itself because it would reduce the number of people who compete. What I need is to get some form of recognition and support from religious and philosophical leaders in order to help get it recognized by government, but all who I have shared it with don't take me seriously - just proves how brainwashed our religions and philosophies have become today, which is very sad. This whole belief system that it's a fact of life we 'all' must trade is the very thing which prevents people seeing the merit of my model.<br /><br />You can see my model if you click on my name Deanhttps://livewithoutmoneylawfully.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828606489000658139.post-59513261071519910172017-07-15T16:40:02.587+10:002017-07-15T16:40:02.587+10:00nice postnice postJimyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349555226330578834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828606489000658139.post-45326864508753407022017-07-10T09:49:46.353+10:002017-07-10T09:49:46.353+10:00If one of the reasons a country failed is because ...If one of the reasons a country failed is because it was denied aid then it wasn't doing well. <br /><br />I came here to challenge my beliefs and see the argumnt for socialism.

Most wealth creation manuals talk about building wealth using other people's money. Socialism doesn't distribute wealth equally at all, but instead on people's needs. Hence the basic tenet being, 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his need'.RantingPanda.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361776637245585328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828606489000658139.post-52852895490603226022016-07-02T11:17:04.893+10:002016-07-02T11:17:04.893+10:00In Socialism you get what everyone else gets. You ...In Socialism you get what everyone else gets. You can't have nice cars and houses unless everyone else can. You don't get rewarded for work in socialism. Everyone gets equal amounts no matter what work they actually do. Socialism distributes equally no matter your contribution to society: Capitalism distributes based on your contribution to society. For instance, a man working at a fast food joint flipping burgers would not make nearly as much as an engineer designing products in a company. That engineer will make more because he has a bigger impact on society than the man making someone's meal. Just like the article above, name a successful socialist country. You can't, right? Because it has never worked once in the history of earth. Human nature prevents it from happening. Now the US version of Capitalism is far from perfect, but socialism would work no better. Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money to redistribute. What happens when all the rich people leave to a country where they can make better money? Socialism imo is just not a good system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828606489000658139.post-90504909299884087812016-05-31T07:01:54.748+10:002016-05-31T07:01:54.748+10:00When you have distribution of wealth according to ...When you have distribution of wealth according to what the people want you have athletes and celebrities making 100x more than people whose job it is to keep people alive and healthy.

We should all contribute to that society but being how much should we contribute? 1% of what we make? 99%? Who decides? According to Marx if you make 99% of the wealth then you should contribute 99% to society. Then why even try to get wealthy? Human nature takes over and society collapses in to chaos.

If a system gets "overthrown" by a stronger system,the one that lost is the Failure because it was weaker, and trying to list countries as successful socialist states where the people routinely try to get out of that country(China, Cuba, Venezuela)because of the oppression that follows socialism. Socialism without capitalism is Communism. Capitalism without Socialism is Fascism.
