Excerpt:
The Master Equation of All Societies
“Government is always religion applied to economics.” This is the E=mc2 of human action. ...Israel, Islamic nations, China, the former USSR, for examples, have/had official religions/philosophies that give/gave them laws that govern(ed) their societies and “human action”(economics). Every government is the concrete enactment/legislation of someone’s abstract religious/philosophical ideas about right and wrong, good and evil, morality, ethics, justice, these precepts then in turn framing the arena of“ human action” (economics).
Every day, all over the world, we witness just, fixed, equally applied traffic laws that frame the automobile traffic system which allows individual self-governing human action by drivers behind the wheel of a car to create a harmonious collective, where both the needs of the individual driver and that of the collective driving community are met and are in balance. ...If we know any one of these three – government, religion, economics – we can nearly always triangulate to the other two.
Throughout history, theologians and philosophers have struggled with how to balance out the rights of the individual with those of the community. This is the “One & the Many” question. The answer which clearly and consistently brings the highest level of human satisfaction in terms of freedom, peace, prosperity, justice, progress, human fulfillment, healthy happy balance between the individual and the community and environmental integrity, given the constant of human nature, is to allow individuals to be free and personally responsible for creating their own destiny in life by contracting and covenanting for what they need without trespassing on or violating the person or property of any other person, without resorting to force, coercion or fraud. If an individual is self-governing using these principles derived from a fixed set of supernatural (religious) laws, he can pursue his balanced self-interest in the marketplace of life by serving before receiving, each individual serving as a catalyst for “human action” (economics). Again, we witness this phenomenon every day globally in the automobile traffic system and also observe it in nature/creation in the formation of a single dandelion puff where the individual(masculine, linear, +) shafts produce the collective (feminine, non-linear holistic,-) puff.
Government is religion applied to economics. By contrast, we have primarily today the collective, top down, pyramid style, comprehensive, misery-creating elitists with their technocrats ruling bureaucratically over us economically “doing God’s work”, as the CEO of Goldman Sachs testified, with money/greed then truly being “the root of all evil”, capturing the (un)civil government where the religion/philosophy of Hegel is applied, “the state is god walking on earth”, giving us human gods (the ultimate source of law in society) in keeping with the evolutionary philosophical perspective of the “survival of the fittest”, mining, exploiting and harvesting from cradle to grave the serfs/sheeple/Borg/human resources (formerly known as human beings, people and citizens), eliminating them as expendable and easily replaceable pawns who are “useless eaters”, “dandruff on the scalp of Mother Earth”, “maggots in a flour sack” offending Gaia(Mother Earth, basic to the religion of witchcraft), according to their religion of environmentalism (the worship of the creation rather than the Creator). It is, in pure form, either one way or the other, either bottom up or top down. Both are “government as religion applied to economics.”
A parasite system can’t survive on it’s own, after sucking all the life out of it’s victim.

Capitalism can be as morally bereft as collectivism, if it is not based on transcendent truth.
At this point,the only way to stop the socialists is 2A and then rebuild the systems infested and infected. I am afraid we are not there yet and rather passive. That idiocy of 1/6 was a clown show. The left needs to be truly afraid and that is a level that many won’t or cannot do.
People can pontificate all they want about this point and that point; it all boils down to this:
Where do people across the globe want to live? Are they beating down the doors of capitalist nations, or communist nations.
Debate over.
When it comes to socialists and communists - KTF. All of them.
On first sight! It’s the only way to be sure...
Socialism didn’t work for the Pilgrims, socialism didn’t work in England, the Northern European Nations that tried it abandoned socialism but it is going to work this time..oh sure t will!
.
Have and Have Not’s still exist under Socialism, someone send James Fosteridiot a memo please. Socialism is nothing more than a economic scam that essentially makes everyone poor, and yet, leaves a very few at the top in control who have everything that was taken from those who are no poor in the name of ‘meeting people’s needs’ and ‘selflessness’........................
Not only are all those Socialist joys beyond anything the Capitalists can muster but Socialism also has the great benefit of population reduction, murdering over 150 million in the last century - some thing lousy Capitalists cannot boast as an accomplishment to their moral detriment.
The Socialists want absolute power - the rest does not matter so call it whatever you wish.

Here is something the author should noodle. Capitalism is more democratic than socialism.
Capitalism exists in all forms of government; the difference is whether the individual controls his capital or the state controls it.
A “selfless” exchange is never “zero sum”. It puts you, the provider, into a negative balance specifically because you get nothing in return.
In capitalism, both sides benefit. Jane is better at knitting than Jeff. Jeff is better at raising chickens. Jeff gives Jane a chicken in exchange for a new knit hat. Both sides get something in an equitable and mutually satisfactory exchange. THAT is a true “zero sum”.
Communists killed my GreatGrandparents, on my Father’s side, in the holodomor...
I echo your sentiments.
