Bwahahahaha! Leftists and conservatives share the same Christian premise of self-sacrifice?!
So much wrong with this statement. Clearly, like most godless objectivists the author has no understanding of historic Christian doctrine, which teaches that wanting good for oneself is not wrong.
Second, the moral ethic of socialism is not Christian self sacrifice. The moral ethic of socialism is radical covetous narcissism: “I want something of my neighbor’s. He refused to give it to me freely. Therefore I will use force to take it from him and give it to myself.” Biblical Christianity recognizes this as theft, a sin worthy of eternal damnation.
The Christian recognizes that free market economics is the only righteous way to orient a society, because free market economics requires one to give something of equal value to one’s neighbor in order to receive something from him. Free market economics is based on mutual giving. Socialism is based on covetousness and theft.
