Last I check neither Sweden nor Finland are members of NATO.
Nothing to do with this line of questioning. No one is invading Europe with or without America.
Entwined into marxism is hatred of religious faith, precepts and commandments. Marxism embodies, coveting, jealousy and envy while it claims to create equality, not as individuals but within a collective society. Religion would teach the property is really owned by God or Buddha Nature and is granted to beings according to natural laws that human beings cannot fathom.
The Marxist objection to capitalism was the unequal distribution of wealth and property. The rich control the poor economically. Marx denounced ânatural rights,â as the cause of inequality and claimed the collective state must own the means of production, not individuals. Marxists would co-opt some principles of the French and American revolution and claim that revolution must include the overthrow of capitalism and individual property. Revolution overthrows an existing order where injustice caused by the ruling class, leaves the poor at the mercy of the rich.
Religion was the enemy of Marx because of precepts and commandments which contradict his ideology:.
âYou shall not covet your neighborâs house. You shall not covet your neighborâs wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.â
â Exodus 20:17
Take heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a manâs life does not consist of his possessions
â(Luke 12:15)
This would also apply to coveting and despising oneâs neighborâs success, beauty, sexuality, possessions, wealth, lands, gold and jewels or religion or any freedom ideology.
While one may have material fortune another may not. So this reality of life to marxists and progressives, can be overthrown. The selling point of marxism and progressivism is always based in exploiting any inequality, or perception if inequality, causing the poor to overthrow the rich to exchange this for an imagined socialis/communist system. It is a totally muddled philosophy with massive loopholes, always leading to totalitarianism. The Marxists exploit suffering people for their own power. Ultimately it removes liberty and freedom, including freedom of religion and the freedoms to create oneâs own business.
Religion promotes frugality, but also promotes hard work and faith. Earthly desire is a double edged sword. Wealth from hard work, is good if based in hard work and creativity and a sign of good fortune, but greed, theft and coveting otherâs property is evil.
Aparigrah, in Hinduism is non-possesiveness, freedom from greed, and the precept of complete avoidance of âwealth at the expense of othersâ or controlling others for gain. There is a moral imperative involved.
âWealth at the expense of others,â is not the same as the rich employing others for work. Imposing material equality. Is impossible due to diffeent capabilities of people. Hinduism developed a caste system as did all cultures, some explicit and others not.
Buddhism, Judaism Christianity and Islam and other religions unnanimously teach against covetousness, negative envy, greed and miserliness and teach charity.
Hinduism and Buddhism teach the law of karma (cause and effect) as the real explanation of inequailty. Judaism and Christianity teaches you âreap what you sow,â the same principle of Karma. The teaching of âgraceâ in Christianity also exists in Hinduism and Buddhism. Buddhism and Christianity teaches equality and refutes social caste systems. Although Buddhism contains the most detailed explanation of Karma, in writings, practice, (faith meditation and prayer, ) is the means to develop understanding, compassion, salvation, awakening and enlightenment.
The âAll men are created equal,â as in the Declaration of Independence, comes by natural law, from the Christian ideal. This kind of equality acknowledges differences in Karma as âGodâ decides differences in individuals fortune in life. Despite obvious differences in fortune between people, at the root of things, everyone is equal and working out their own salvation.
Marxism hates any cause and effect teaching that adds an element of âGodâs willâ or Karma and relies entirely on a materialist view. Marxism focuses only on
a political solution that imposes itself on society, âby any means necessary.â
Marx himself had to revise his earlier pronouncements, and later socialists and communists had schism after schism. While claiming to revile egoism, Marx and Marxist based ideology, becomes the manic ego of itâs own leaders and titalitarian, group egoism. It replaces charity with equal distribution.
Marxists, Progressives and Capitalism haters are only viewing reality as materialism and are based in covetousness, thus it discards religious precepts or spiritial meaning.
Buddhism most clearly defined the resolution of all things, spiritual or material as âThe Middle Way,â which is also implicit in Hinduism and Christianity.
This âMiddle Wayâ is more than just a philosophical principle, it is actually a phrase naming the embodiment of all aspects of reality and the Supremè Law of Karma,
Funny we never see these posts when it comes to increasing the minimum wage or increasing taxes to pay down the debt or health insurance for all.
Oh and given that you worship a man who brags and lies about wealth your post is empty.
As obvious as it is that this forum is 80% athiest, Marxists, and all they can do is see shallow projections around them and that they are here to disrupt only as a vocation, they are seditious by nature. Slithering forked tongues, wrap around their own neck and choke themselves in eternal fire and ice.
Youâre a hoot.
Holding people to standards they previously profess is neither seditious or disruptive.
Badass.

Sounds like China.
ROFL, look to the East.
Socialism IS corruption.
Then so is capitalism.
there is nothing wrong with capitalism. the problem (which weâve see in many societies) is when most all the money ends up in the hands of small minority (like some ancient kingdom). if the peasants have to sell all their ox to afford basic stuff/stay alive (while the kings and queens travel between their 17 castles) itâs gonna eventually come to a head.
if that reality pisses people off, so be it.
