Christ is THE King, not a socialist. If you think socialism is good, research Castro, Polpot, Mao Zedong, Stalin...the list goes on. Socialist ideas are wrong. Just because you and two other people in the room vote to hold a gun to my head and take money, doesn't make it right or even ethical. Christ preached personal responsibility, not social welfare in it's modern form. Should we care for those who cannot care for themselves, YES! Should we care for someone who is just plain lazy, NO!

You haven't done the research. None of those leaders were considered Socialists.
Of those that did use socialism, their intention was Communism.
Fidel Castro was no friend of socialism -

So you know for a fact I didn't do research? You're assuming. The Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics, was socialist...
As far the research:
The socialist mode of production, also referred to as the lower-stage of communism or simply socialism as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels used the terms socialism and communism interchangeably, is a specific historical phase of economic development and its corresponding set of social relations.

You also ignored the other part of my statement, don't cherry pick.
Next?

The fiery trial is unpleasant itself. Praise God for His Wisdom in Sharing. When everyone is born again, they have a special understanding.

Jesus was not a socialist.
People had to help themselves back then as they do now.
Socialism depends on the government for everything.
Jesus DID NOT depend on the Roman govt for anything since that was the ruling force back then.
Self-management is CAPITALISM.
Building OURSELVES up is CAPITALISM.
Learn the difference because socialism will ruin America...the greatest country on the face of the earth.

Socialism in your town creates everything that government already does provide for you. No government services that you currently use are based on Capitalism.
Water, sewer, building roads, city parks, police, fire protection, safety codes, the centers for disease control, etc.
Except for laws, roads, water, land use for farmers making wheat, growing grapes, private property, and all the usual government protections and benefits.
We can learn a lot from the Roman Empires failure to provide social programs.

Government services are paid for by taxing capitalism. Government pays for nothing. Socialism calls for the takeover of industry and it has failed every time

I really don't care to discuss a govt of 2,000 years ago.Socialism in your town creates everything that government already does provide for you. No government services that you currently use are based on Capitalism.
Water, sewer, building roads, city parks, police, fire protection, safety codes, the centers for disease control, etc.

How about sticking to today?
Are you familiar with socialism as is practiced in other countries?
Or are you just going by what you read or what Bernie Sanders promises you?
Do you know if I'm happy with socialized medicine?
Do you know if I even use it?
Do you know if I ever lived in the U.S. under a capitalist system?
Would you like to start over?

Then why did you bring up the subject Mr. Noodles?
Ok. No more Roman benefits for you.....like "innocent until proven guilty."
No roads, no sewers.
Socialism in your town creates everything that government already does provide for you today and tomorrow afternoon. No government services that you currently use are based on Capitalism. Water, sewer, building roads, city parks, police, fire protection, safety codes, the centers for disease control, etc.

Again, Government taxes capitalism. They make no money. How much do you want to pay ? Do you want the government to tell you where to worship ? All the City parks in the world won't feed anyone

They do in my city, as well as others.
Neighborhood Gardens - City of Milwaukee
Garden Rental – Extension Milwaukee County
How to turn a vacant lot into a community garden:
How Green is my Alley: Public Produce on Public Lands
I also have a plan to pay for public parks maintenance by building
office space into the parks. The idea is that the benefits of the
natural settings would spill over into more use of the parks
and less stress for workers. But no additional paved parking.

"Capitalism" is not an entity. Government taxes property and income.
Having police, water, sewer, and roads is good for business. We call it "Infrastructure". These systems tend to be high-cost investments and are vital to a country's economic development and prosperity.

Mr. Noodles brought up the subject because Jesus lived 2,000 years ago and under the rule of the Roman Empire.
I don't need to read your links,,,but think twice before believing socialism is good.
You don't want to discuss?
OK.

We had that in Germany.
When socialists* took over in the town of Bremen after WWI, there was famine shortly after and the mother of my grandmother died of some famine-related illness.
My grandmother had to grow up without her mother so then.
That was chaos.
We had Socialism in the German Democratic Republic, the former Eastern Germany.
They weren't Christian friendly. No wealth.
We don't want to have this again in Germany.
