The world is in upheaval as the old cultures that built modern civilization succumb to socialism. Nobody knows where it will take us as we watch helplessly the implosion of our Anglo-centric structures.
The plain-sight goal of hegemonic progressives is to collectivize property and people into a global pool of nobody-nothingness, while middle-class private ownership (responsible self-sufficiency) and the existence of meaningful persons shrink toward zero.
Socialism is often mistakenly reduced to an economic construct, or to one of its scientific sub-theories such as Marxism or communism. However, in its essence, it is a spiritual condition with a structural narrative that can be summarized as follows:
A chosen people are called to destroy the old world and liberate society from its cultural captivity, ushering in a new Golden Age.
This is achieved through the abolition of private property and family, hostility toward religion, and a general push for commonality or “sameness,” which is mischaracterized as “equality.”
The underlying motivation behind socialism is a loss of faith in a person’s intrinsic worth and a bitter spiritual craving for its destruction and death. It is an inevitable result of a humanist-existentialist view of human origins and existence.

Perhaps because he spent his life within the stranglehold of the USSR, Igor Shafarevich’s thesis on socialism failed to make a religious connection with socialism’s inherent nihilism. However, from a Christian perspective, socialism becomes comprehensible, and even curable.
Socialism as viewed within a Christian context becomes the antithesis of Christianity. To use the word in its broad sense, socialism is a form of anti-Christ.
It is clearly so in an ontological sense, given that Christology is about creation, life, and love of humanity, whereas socialism seeks destruction, death, and the collapse of humanity.

It makes sense that atheists flock to socialism.
Yes. They want the blessings, but not the work (as defined by morality).
But Russia is rebuilding its churches. Must have figured out that atheism doesn’t work.
They consider individuals as expendable and of no concern.
“Socialist reject God and consider themselves gods on earth.
They consider individuals as expendable and of no concern.”
And the irony is the “acolytes” have no idea that they are just as much scum to those in power as the rest of us...they were the ones choking out their last breaths and asking Jim Jones for another glass of Kool-Aid

“Advanced” Western countries have mixed economies.
The benefits of both capitalism and redistribution flow to the connected and burdens of both are laid upon the fleeced.
Comrade Sanders, can we have your millions?
Hell, no!
One house?
Hell, no!
Comrade Warren, can we have your millions?
Hell, no!
Comrade Biden, can we have your millions?
Come on man, I was just buying votes with other people’s money. I have a wife and son that I really care about.
Joe Kennedy spent a lot of money trying to put John Kennedy into the White House.
To diffuse the matter, JFK said that his father was willing to buy victory but was unwilling to pay for a landslide.
Democrats in power hand out just enough to buy electoral victory.
It’s not socialism or communism, it’s vote buying.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors goods.
This tells you socialism has been a problem since day one.
Some folks peacefully produce their own survival, while others join the war party to steal it.
Why buy an election when you can steal it?
Italy has lots of one-day strikes.
The short-term strike strategy is now being used by the UAW.
Sometime in the future governments and unions of the productive will engage in collective bargaining over tax rates and regulatory law.
“Why buy an election when you can steal it?”
Who do you think runs governments better, Republicans or Democrats?
Who do ‘urban’ Democrats think runs governments better, Republicans or Democrats?
Why do ‘urban’ Democrats still vote for Democrats?
1 "Whoever steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it must pay back five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep.
2 "If a thief is caught breaking in at night and is struck a fatal blow, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed;
3 but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed. "Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their theft.
4 If the stolen animal is found alive in their possession—whether ox or donkey or sheep—they must pay back double."
Exod 22:1-4
The cure for socialism
The same as the patriots had in the French Revolution
I use to think that this huge push toward socialism could never happen here in the US because we are all born and bred in freedom and able to be whatever we want to be, where we want to be and just be ourselves. Not anymore and I admit I am shocked most days to what is being said and done to our country to take away our freedom and pushing us toward a Stalin world. It blows my mind how good the left is at making something like socialism seem attractive and “fair”, especially to our young. I see the white, liberal women as the head of this spear. They don’t see that if true socialism is implemented in this country, they will be one of the first to fall by the sword.
Socialism is for losers. Winners never need socialism.
