How Socialism Violates All Ten Commandments

[CaliBaptist]

I also believe lack of understanding of socialism. I'm not a socialist, but I do fight against social injustice and elitism, and try to level the playing field for those who are in lower classes so they at least have a fighting chance. But I am not sure any political structure is in violations of the ten commandments. We live in a secular world, and we can expect our governments to be secular. That doesn't mean they deliberately go about violating commandments; it simply means that each political structure is attempting to live out the values reflected in society (or the government itself, such as anti-religious societies or where they try to force religious law, for example).

I wanted to touch on this point. Speak up for those who do not have a voice. I feel the same way about injustice and elitism, but this is not something that socialism can fix. Greed is a human trait in our fallen world and no economic system will ever eliminate that.

The best way to minimize greed is to not let anyone get too much power and the fundamental flaw with socialism and communism is the state has complete and total power. The free market has checks and balances to prevent anyone from gaining too much power. As already stated, we're in a fallen world, so nothing is perfect but the free market is the best we have for curbing elitism and injustice far more than any central planners can do.

That said we are taught we have capitalism and it's main trait is greed and endless growth, but that is far from the truth. Capitalism is private ownership with competition to make better products and better services for society. The competition also keeps wages from being too low.

Now, why are we where we are now? We don't truly have capitalism aka free markets. There are two sides to every economy: the goods and services people can buy is one half and the other half is the medium of exchange used to buy such things(currency). In our economy our medium of exchange(currency) is centrally controlled and managed and not part of a free market. In fact a cartel of bankers have been given monopilistic authority over our currency supply.

Capitalism is an impossibility with central banking. Central banking is, in fact, the fifth pillar of the communist manifesto. Our Federal Reserve is not a state owned entity but is granted power by the state and, like socialism, transfers wealth. However unlike the socialist utopia where it transfers wealth to the lower class, central banking transfers wealth away from the working class and poor to the elite.

What we need is to abolish the central bank and return to honest money away from the phony debt based fiat currency we have now.
