Socialism and Capitalism are Two Sides of the Same Coin. Both are Evil, Demonic and Vile. To Hell with them Both!
Satan is very clever and flexible. He is adaptable. He is able to make two enemy group agree on the same thing, by appealing to their evil motives, both of which are the same. He is able to stir up conflict between wicked people who are enemies of each other, and then use something they agree on to promote a greater evil. This manifests in all kinds of ways.
One of the way this manifests in conservatives of America. Satan uses Islam to bait the conservatives, including the conservative Christians of America into fighting evil, by means of promoting the counter-jihad movement. However, the American counter-jihad movement is full of secularists, who hate Christianity and are pro-homosexual. So, they are simply not your friends, Christian. They are not, whatever they may say in enticing you, or in ensuring you that they tolerate you.
What do many of these conservative Christians do? They continue to support the counter-jihad movement, even though they are pro-homosexual. Yet, little do these Christians know they have fallen into the trap of on one hand. They aggressively proclaiming the need to resist the homosexual agenda, and to protect Christians' 'religious liberty', but yet the same time support these counter-jihadists who equate opposition to homosexuality with support for islam. This simply provides a basis for the world to accuse them of hypocrisy, for it is hypocrisy. This ground is not simply an empty one, but a proper ground for this accusation of hypocrisy.
The same thing can be seen in the conflict between socialism and capitalism. A person, so they say, can only be either capitalist or socialist. Anyone who is anti-capitalist is a socialist, in their view, just like how anyone who is against the 'left' is a 'rightist'. This is just the devil's deception in making two evils, look like a conflict between good and evil, to trap unsuspecting people into his deception, and distort their thinking, into a worldly thinking.
Both socialism and capitalism are of the spirit of mammon. They are the same spiritually. They are only different in terms of who should be providing people with wealth. Socialism says that government should provide one with wealth. Capitalism says that oneself should provide one with wealth. This is in stark contrast to the Bible which says that all things belong to God, and that seeking wealth, instead of trusting in God to provide, is a manifestation of a failure to seek God:
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles [or pagans as per the NIV translation] seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
(Matthew 6:30-34)
Both capitalism and socialism are evils. They have been the cause of all the economic problems, and the conflict that ensues, because they based on lust. The 20th century is the bloodiest century there has been. This coincides with the rise of capitalism in its mature stage, and socialism.
You may say that this blog has criticised capitalism, but not socialism. This not true, for it has dismissed socialism as an evil that is not to be treated with respect. You may say it has not written much about socialism. That is because many of you already know socialism is evil, and so there is no need to really write about it. What many of you need to learn, however, is that your pet ideology of capitalism is also an evil, and no more righteous than socialism. So, to counter this argument, because it does not fit your vile narrative, you accuse me of being 'socialist', for which I am not. I am a follower of Christ, and therefore I am not a socialist, communist, or supporter of democracy , more aptly called "demon-cracy".
The Bible already tells us about where does warring and fighting come from. This warring and fighting refers to such conflict resulting from envy. Examples include class warfare in Australia, and hatred between developed and developing nations, and capitalist and socialist nations during the 1970s.
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
(James 4:1-3)
So, it would help us as followers of Christ to remember and learn what this means:
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(1 John 2:15-17).
