They’ll start claiming the bible forbids workers unions or something.
You know, there is a reason why leftism is associated with atheism.
Ephesians 6:5-9
“Nothing is easier than to give Christian asceticism a Socialist tinge. Has not Christianity declaimed against private property, against marriage, against the State? Has it not preached in place of these, charity and poverty, celibacy and mortification of the flesh, monastic life and Mother Church? Christian Socialism is but the holy water with which the priest consecrates the heart-burnings of the aristocrat.”

Nixon’s Southern Strategy and it’s fallout made a lot of things weird.
The US has always walked a somewhat different path. In Europe, the left/right dichotomy was associated with monarchism for way over a century. In countries like the UK, it still is.
The soviet union considered the early christian communes to be examples of proto-communism. I don’t really know much about that school of thought.
The Stalin constitution of the soviet union even quoted the bible. Stalin did study to become a priest before converting to Marxism-Leninism.
He who does not work, neither shall he eat 2 Thessalonians 3:10
That quote featured big in early soviet propaganda, during the time of the Holodomor.
Yeah, from saints like Francis of Assisi and Dorothy Day to the fact that the early church was basically voluntary communes Christianity could’ve just embraced communism and socialism. Hell there’s liberation theology as well!
I really am only concerned with keeping up my streak. Was at the top of the league rankings for a bit but, like… It doesn’t matter? I just wanna learn to understand Japanese enough that I don’t have to read when I watch anime that isn’t dubbed in English, and at this point I just want the app to start giving me more words to increase my vocabulary. I can literally read stuff in hiragana or katakana (not kanji yet), but only know like 150 words. It’s such a weird point being able to “read” the letters, but still have no idea what the words themself mean lol
Instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.
“Have your heard about our nor God nor Saviors, Anarcho-unionism” ?
