I have traditional conservative values, but i'm probably more a communist than a capitalist. Is this insanity?

If you desire a world where traditional family values flourish, why would a world where everything is for sale, and the hierarchy is not based on who is the most kind and noble, but who is the best at making money (which the love of is the root of all evil)??? I'm not a communist, but more of like a "communalist" if that's a thing. I think we must work as a team.

I remember listening to a talk by an American woman who had returned from doing missionary work at a Lutheran Church in Communist East Germany. ( Churches were legal as long as the people confined their religious activity to within the walls of the church.)

She said people there asked her, "How can Americans be Christian if they are capitalists?"

Food for thought.

In Europe, there is a political party called the Christian Socialists, but it is very small.
