Why does it remind you of Calvinism? John Calvin was white, and he was not a liberal,or even a socialist. He was what we would call a conservative today. He was a Christian. He believed in a representative form of government, also known as a republic, the system our Founding Fathers set up. He believed in the importance of working, saving, and investing. He believed in what we call capitalism. He believed in the six fundamentals of the Christian faith: the virgin birth, Christ’s blood atonement, the inspiration of the Bible, Christ’s deity, Christ’s bodily resurrection, and a literal Second Coming of Christ. He also believed in the Trinity, the eternal security of the believer (also known as perseverance of the saints, as Calvin’s followers call it, or once-saved-always-saved), creation, the idea that man is basically evil, salvation by grace through faith, holiness (including the Ten Commandments), angels, the resurrection of the dead, the coming judgment, miracles, a global flood, Heaven and Hell, the lake of fire, etc. In other words, he believed everything I believe, except in the areas of predestination, baptism (he believed in infant baptism and sprinkling), limited atonement (he believed that Christ died for just the “elect”), church government, and some aspects of prophecy (such as the identity of the Antichrist, the timing of the Rapture, the meaning of “thousand years” in Revelation, etc.).
According to Calvin some people are elect and some are not. Human acts have nothing to do with this. People are either saints or sinners by Divine fiat and their deeds are either good or evil depending on the identity of the person who commits them.
To Hegelian liberals some people are the historical "thesis" and others are the "antithesis." Nobody asks to be born into either group; it just happens. The "thesis" are the elect who can do no wrong (Blacks, Hispanics, "gays," etc.) while the antithesis (whites, males, native American Protestantism, conservatism) can do nothing right. Perhaps you are unaware that, according to Thomas Sowell, whole generations of American youth are being trained in universities to discern the "just" position in any dispute based solely on the identities of the parties involved (race, gender, ethnicity) and not at all on what actually happened? It all boils down to thesis and antithesis, elect and reprobate.
This whole thing is merely an analogy. I am quite aware that John Calvin was much more conservative than anyone alive today. For that matter, so was John Brown!
