RE: 40 Percent Off -5minutefreewrite
LOL yeah I saw that after I replied, then I figured you'd verify it. It changed tense or syntax or w/e, English was not my strongest subject ;) More of a numbers guy. I do see where it is tailored to our Abilities, instead of "because I said so" which is good. So yes, I can agree. Now that you cleared it up!
Many have said the Christianity has a lot in common with socialism. I do see some of the core principles being borrowed, but in a centralized government scenario, it is easy to pervert some things. That pesky Human Nature thingy again 😂 Unbridled (crony) Capitalism suffers from it as well, like I said before, no man-made system is going to be Perfect...
@underground I don't actually think human nature is a net negative. I do, however, think, "a few bad apples spoil the bunch". If everybody is active, we can easily keep the very few folks who are going to harm humanity from gaining power.
The big difference between any capitalism and any communism insofar as power goes is, in capitalism, it is part of the foundation of the system that those with more have power over those without. That owners get to pay or not pay workers. That a few people wield the instruments of power. Under communism, the power is inherently in the hands of the workers, so it is inherently more democratic.
Regardless, though, the many must actively understand the workings of economic power and fight for the best interests of the many, rather than allowing themselves to be convinced by the ruling class that their interests lie in maintaining the status quo.
