This one sentence, from one of the links posted in the thread sums it all up, in one sentence.

Exactly!

The more they allegedly are 'different'; the more they are the same!

Not so. Communism & socialism are economic systems. Not all socialism ends up in political dictatorship, nor does communism have to (although it seems it did in practice). Facism and Nazism are not economic at all, but forms of totalitarianism. Don't confuse economic systems with political ones.

 

Baloney. Communism is about economics as well as political.

 

Magnetic Pole is correct. Communism is primarily an economic system. In post after post, you have gotten terms such as liberal, conservative, democracy, republic, socialism, plus many others either mixed up or used flawed definitions.

Main Entry: com·mu·nism
Pronunciation: \ˈkäm-yə-ˌni-zəm, -yü-\
Function: noun
Etymology: French communisme, from commun common
Date: 1840
1 a: a theory advocating elimination of private property b: a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed

Maybe theology is your better talent.

 

Leviticus 25:23 is the only verse you mentioned pertaining to the laws of administration of the land, and this land very clearly only refers to the land outlined to Abraham and Moses and the 'Promised Land.' That land is God's (in a legal sense), while Edom, Moab, and Ammon were given their own land also, and with no stipulations as to its specific ownership.

Further, while (obviously) the whole earth is 'God's,' there are no rules or even implications (as far as I know) regarding any of the Gentiles' land except that it was 'divided uto them.

Thirdly, I think the term 'serfdom' refers to a situation where the lord tells the families where to live, what fields to plow, what to plant, and how much to give, etc. Serfs don't have the option of selling and moving, etc.

Lastly, Paul says to 'obey them that have the rule over you. If the state can incarcerate and reposses you, it seems they have the rule, doesn't it?

I think a better case can be made for abolishing the income tax than a property tax.

duplicate post.

 

Both need to be abolished.

 

That may or may not be true. The Bible tells us to obey the civil authority placed over us by God, in fact, it was ordained by God. That includes paying your taxes, a point made by Paul.

 

Agree with almost all of this. There's going to be some tax here...I'm not sure I know which form I think it should take.

But even if we went in a radical "founding fathers" direction of limited government (where, oh where are those proponents anymore?)...just the basics (such as national defese) will take some taxation.

But the argument in the OP that thare is a scriptural prohibition agaisnt ther property tax holds no water.

 

Program of the Communist Party USA

The role of the Communist Party is to guide the struggle of the working class to its ultimate aim of winning working class political power and socialism. In the stages of struggle that lead to that ultimate aim, the Communist Party combines political, economic, organizational, and ideological struggle, the exact nature of which changes along with changes in the struggles and in the balance of power. The role of the Party during each stage of struggle leading up to socialism is to combine participation with the millions in struggles where they are at, agitation for the next phase of struggle, and propaganda for socialism, linking activism in the struggles of the present with preparation for the struggles of the future.

All societies have some things that are socialized, simply because there are things that can be done collectively that cannot be done, or not done effectively, as individuals. This boogeyman talk is straight out of extremist group like the JBS and other red baiting groups who see a commie under every rock.

 

The Patriot Act illegally gives the soldier's of the king the right to break into your house at any time without a search warrant and without cause. Reject the Patriot Act enacted by the evil King Bush.

 

No it doesn't

 

They missed one .. Capitalism.

Doesn't really matter what you call the economic or political system, all are abused by many of those with the strenght or power to do so.

In truth the earth is the Lord's, and all that is in it. This has been already said by iothers here and in other places so I think it can be accepted as something most on this board claim to believe. Think about it and it makes personal ownership a very questionable activity. We are at most stewards of property an possessions for a period of time, and called to be wise stewards of it.

Not really.

'Capitalism' doesn't really fit in with the others, in the sense I was intending, for it, unlike the other four, is not 'state' centered, and the more powerful the control of the state, the more 'Capitalism' is hindered.

That is not to say that Capitalism cannot be abused, however.

BTW, I do not find "personal ownership" a questionable activity, at all, from Scripture, except for the Priests and Levites of the old covenant. Job, Solomon, Lydia, and Annanias and Saphirra quickly come to mind, here. Nor do I find that requisite "good stewardship" negates this idea, either.

Yes it does! It looks like YOUR president is, in the final analysis a commie! I'm surprised you support him. Oh yea, I forgot he's a republican so it's alright.

 

To say McCarthy was right because the USSR had spies, is like saying that the fire in your water heater is dangerous because fire destroys forests. WND is not a credible news source, and to defend Joe McCarthy shows the depth of the evil in the hearts of those whose biggest fear remains communism.
