What's the difference between communism and christianity? The similarities are striking really. Give us all your money, work for the greater good, don't consume too much, it's a sin. That's probably why soviet commies viewed it as direct competition and a threat.
>>528027291Communism is just secular Christianity.Galatians 3:28>There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.Without Christianity, there would be no globohomo.
Communism is an economic framework about ownership.Christianity is a metaphysical religion about salvation.One is a theory of production and class.The other is a theology about sin and redemption.Yes, both talk about moral restraint and community. So does basically every civilization ever.The Soviets suppressed Christianity because Marxism is explicitly materialist and does not tolerate competing authorities. That is institutional rivalry, not proof they were identical.If we are comparing systems, compare what they actually claim, not aesthetic overlaps like “don’t be greedy.”
>>528027471>Communism is just secular Christianity.It's the opposite. When you compare Charity vs. Theft, and arrive at the opinion you just vomited you know you're posting in a 15yo zoomers thread.
>>528027767Can you explain why capitalist behaviours are marked as sin?
>>528027817Jesus told his followers to sell all their possessions if they don't want to burn forever, how is that less coercive than the state insisting on it?
>>528027855Where did I say capitalism is marked as sin? That's a sly strawman shift. My point was that Christianity is concerned with moral conduct and salvation, not ownership structures. Conflating that with an economic model is the category error I was pointing out.
>>528027936Hey zoomie, I'll direct you back to my post you didn't read or address. Charity and Theft are not the same thing, very very different, it's profane to suggest they are. You're clearly an 80iq brown sooner. Go back to r*ddit.
>>528027767 Can you do this again without ChatGPT?
>>528027855Property rights and the worthiness of business are firmly enshrined in the gospels and in 2000 years of Church tradition, just not usury and the fetishization and worship of capital at the expense of one's soul. The dignity of the individual as a Son of God is paramount.Communism, by contrast, boils all society down to blaming productive members of society for all the ills of the have-nots and treats the individual as secondary to the 'good of the many'.The superficial similarities owe largely to Marx aping and bastardizing Hegel who was himself a Christian.To >>528028481 this anon's point, Christianity preaches wealth as a means to an end whereas Marx argues that his version of heaven (the Dictatorship of the Proletariat) can solely be had by stealing from those who have and giving it to those who don't.
>>528028615Interesting that you assume AI just because someone can write more than slogans. Everything I posted is grounded in actual texts, Marx, Hegel, and Christian doctrine. If you cannot parse a nuanced argument without reflexively blaming ChatGPT, that is on you.
