Marxist BLM tries to force innocent diners to bow to them. For Marxists, it's always about control.

Things that are not part of politics happening presently and how we approach or address it as Anabaptists.

Interesting. What does he have to say.
He warns about the emptiness of worldly deceit offered by people like modern day Marxists, and how they offer something which pales in comparison of the joy of knowing our Lord.

Well said.
It does seem like it was written by one who believes, rather than writing to simply fulfill a course requirement. At 17.

The cost of current education has never been higher. Results, hmm. :?
What could be missing? :-|

I did in college, much of it was spent on value-pricing theory. Utility value verses supply and demand.

I forgot about that. I remember being impressed with the distinction at the time.

I was rather impressed when I actually read the communist manifesto... It explains a lot of society.

Marxism is part and parcel a christian heresy.

I read "Das Capital." Long read, for Modern European History in college.

I’m intrigued. Would you say more about why it’s a Christian heresy?

It presents many of the values of our faith, removal of greed, the need to climb over others to get ahead. It also advocates for an even distribution of resources. It promotes a large "common" that we co-operatively own and have use of. In some ways, like a Hutterite colony.

But it is without Christ. Without Him, all is lost.

I hear what you're saying -- I'm not sure I agree that it's a "heresy" because I don't think that Christianity has the sole claim on cooperative communalism (which then also makes American Christianity's unqualified support for free market economics super ironic), but I think that's a small quibble. Thanks for clarifying.

Christianity does have a sole claim on virtue. Anyone else with godly ideas is just repeating what first came from Christ.

If that's true, it would help if Christians could actually start acting virtuously.
