At one point of my life I was a socialist with communist tendencies [Spirituality & Religion]

Now Christ is my friend I realize that my prerequisite for my belief in socialism (ultimately leading to communism)this ideology was to eventually solve all problems society had especially the needs of people. How times have change while communism and socialism still have part of my heart. It was during my spiritual awaking that I realize the wealth and material things don't bring happiness. Whats is funny I see the mystical body of Christ as many organism in a body to express different thoughts. You can find anarchist, communist, capitalist, scientist, spiritualital etc in the body of Christ. Don't worry my higher thought has lead to believe capitalism is a disease. I came across a quote a long time ago from a communist that said something like this "If Americans knew the truth how things ran they will be communist". My first thought was the stuff I read about U.S destabilizing left wing movements in Latin America and the world. Why did this capitalist countries do this? what did they fear? did they fear this less developed countries that follow a different route to progress? Do they fear colored people making better Kingdoms? What is more surprising that U.S was supporting the overthrow of left wing movements in a time were they sought themselves as racial tensions were on the rise. Like how stupid can colored people be during that time to be making deals with racist ass people. Well I'm not longer into politics. If I go back to school and i'm healthy I will touch this subject more into depth in the future.

Communism and Socialism are verrrry different things. You might want to learn the difference. And as you used the word 'colored' to describe people I'll assume you're not American. If that's the case, perhaps you should lay off talking about how America operates.
Side note...your Christ would be the poster child for socialism.

@CrusaderAztecheart I"m going to step away from this conversation as it's a bit of a rabbit hole. But I do think it's important to mention that the highest-performing nations in the world are typically run through governments with Socialism at their core. You can look that one up if you need. Thanks.

Communism always results in the power to the very few and the deaths of tens of millions of its own people. Capitalism makes people rich; Communism makes people dead.

@CrusaderAztecheart You were raised in a capitalist society, you have no idea how terrible a Communist one is and neither do I. You have no clue about Cambodia, Ukraine, or any of the other places we've seen it implemented. It kills tens of millions of its own people during peace time. It has no comparison in the world. Capitalism hasn't murdered anyone. There have been capital ventures, exploitation, but it's not slaughtered tens of millions of its own citizens.
Wasn´t Christ a socialist ?

@CrusaderAztecheart The fact that they were pagans doesn´t make them less , inferior, or evil. That´s your religious indoctrination doing the talking. I find it hilarious how you people like to pick and choose what to believe and what to ignore in a book that you consider holy . That doesn´t make sense. Cherry picking sounds like you are not very convinced when you face the truth but rather live in denial than accept that things are not as you were told.
