Christianity

Being a Christian means being a socialist and bringing about the kingdom of heaven means you’ve achieved a classless, moneyless and stateless communist society. 

You can’t conceivably change my mind on this!

me neither, tho i am a bit of a kantian. just curious what christians and others think

it was more like capitalism reset every 50 years to some type of family/land situation— yes it’s deep research on the topic

is this from an llm? it all sounds pretty socialist to me tbz, if you assume one can own private property under socialism. suppression under communist states doesnt really count against socialism, tho theyre lumped together there

Christianity does not fully align with socialism, communism, or capitalism but critiques and refines each through biblical principles.
	•	Socialism/Communism: The Bible supports communal sharing (Acts 2–4) and justice for the poor (Jubilee, prophets), but also upholds personal responsibility and voluntary giving (2 Thess. 3:10, Acts 5:4). Historically, Christian socialist movements sought economic justice, yet state-imposed communism often suppressed religious freedom.
	•	Capitalism: Scripture affirms work, stewardship, and property rights (Proverbs, Parable of the Talents), but warns against greed and exploitation (Matthew 6:24, James 5:1–5). Christianity shaped ethical capitalism while critiquing unchecked market excess.
	•	Conclusion: No system fully embodies the Kingdom of God. Christianity promotes a “redemptive economy”—balancing free enterprise with justice, charity, and moral constraints. The goal is not a specific ideology but righteousness, love, and human dignity in economic life.
