I do not know that happened but the title to this thread was supposed to read “Deprivation of Sanctification through Socialism”

Can you fix this for me?

History is littered with failed socialist Christian societies.

They fail because there is inequality that always raises it’s head.

The smart and capable finally tire of the dumb and lazy

Capitalism is morality neutral, socialism is always evil.
