A country that has some socialist tendencies or socialist-like programs is not a socialist/communist country.

Socialist/communist countries are either dictatorships or totalitarian regimes.

At least in a country with a representative government, you have individual freedom.

All that aside, Christ warned us that we would be persecuted as He and the Apostles were.

As Paul said (I paraphrase), it is an honor to be persecuted because our Lord was persecuted. It is also an honor because your persecutors see Christ in you.

A country that has some socialist tendencies or socialist-like programs is not a socialist/communist country.

A woman who only occasionally trawls the streets, looking for "customers," is not a prostitute.

A married woman who only sometimes invites the milkman in for a "quickie" is not an adulteress.

Your unmarried daughter is only a little bit pregnant.

I could go on...
