…what? All three Abrahamic religions are extremely explicit and clear about providing food and shelter to the poor and needy. What counterexample did you have in mind?
since when was "providing food and shelter to the poor and needy" considered to be exclusively communist?
Around the time that those in power claiming to be of the faith started calling it communism.
it's unfortunate that the guy in charge is buddies with the rockets guy. at least he's still stuck on his spruce moose
"Hop in!"
Reagan
Everything wrong with the US is basically just a game of 6 degrees from Ronald Reagan.
It certainly isn't capitalist.
amen.
There is no equality in those religions. Man and woman wasnt equal and slavery existed in those times..
I think it's more the fact that communism in it's real world manifestations is all about control, and they can't have competing organized religion, unless they pervert into some state converted version.
"communism" IRL is more like vanguardist fascist dictatorships under leftist aesthetics.
I lived in one of these "communist" countries, its actually just a state capitalist hell, practially zero social safety net, zero free busses, zero free childcare, zero free lunch, internal border control, a very "papers please" environment, just more government oppression.
Reason why these failed is bexause of the lack of democracy, the vanguardism has failed it.
Mamdani is not a "communist", he is a Democratic Socialist, he believes in democracy. We have already seen success with "socialist" policies when they get implemented under a democratic system such as in Norway, for example.
I commend you for having balanced views despite living under "communism", and being unlike the cuban migrants that see anything slightly left of center and turn into the flashback cupcake dog.
What they preach is not the same as what they do. None of them. It's a psychological thing.
