There is no such thing as Christian socialism. Particularly as it was invented by a God hating atheist.Secular or Christian?
How much did Jesus charge for the loaves and fishes (even at a good reduced Jewish rate)? Were His healings covered by parasitic health insurers? What did The Father charge for the Kingdom to Come. For resurrection? I guarantee you if it was up to man it wouldn't come cheap, Christian institutions have already verified that fact.There is no such thing as Christian socialism.
That's the condition of fallen mankind and is true for socialism and capitalism.And man mimics that and then uses the concept to self justify.
And in no place did Jesus confiscate other people's property to do any of this.How much did Jesus charge for the loaves and fishes (even at a good reduced Jewish rate)?

Understood but who lets them get away with that? Two parties working for the same local and global corporate moneyOne can live in denial, but the reality is, in America, politics largely consists of a two party system.
more often than not, third parties become a means to split the votes of party, effectively doing injury to one party over another.
If you are serious about the above, stop whining against others, get yourself a serious job to prosper yourself, then distribute your own wealth to the poor.How much did Jesus charge for the loaves and fishes (even at a good reduced Jewish rate)?

The only instances where civil disobedience is necessary is where laws etc. are clearly opposed to at odds with Scripture. Otherwise Jesus would have us obey civil authorities.
You are using misdirection. I said everyone is capable of helping others, it isn't always about money.If you are serious about the above, stop whining against others, get yourself a serious job to prosper yourself, then distribute your own wealth to the poor.
Then God might take you seriously.
Exactly and not just those two. It's why Jesus said to join the ways of the Kingdom rather than those of man.That's the condition of fallen mankind and is true for socialism and capitalism.
Oh are you insinuating that the rich need breaks to have more money so they may create jobs and help the less fortunate. Too bad it never comes to fruition. It may have in the days of small business, industry and farms, but today we are down to a handful of corporates and elite who see themselves as second in command to the god mammon itself.What you describe Jesus doing is the best advert for capitalism, -voluntarily using your possession to bless others.

It's a sad fact that for four or eight years the media compliments of the non-ruling party will go after whoever is in power regardless of side. Only benefits the politicians and those who fund them in keeping the game going. Great way to keep people from remembering there is a real world out there and division is not part of it.Or maybe it's that so many really do not care when it comes down to it, political apathy.
One can live in denial, but the reality is, in America, politics largely consists of a two party system. Voting for a party which has no real "chance" of winning, is akin to not voting at all, sad but true. I would consider voting Constitutionalist if I thought it were possible for a third party to win a Presidential office. It's not even in the realm of possibilities, and more often than not, third parties become a means to split the votes of party, effectively doing injury to one party over another.
Voting for a third party is very different from not voting. If some third party got just 5% of the vote teh 2 major parties would notice. If one got 10% they would be concerned. At 20% they would panic.
That said I would still vote for the lesser of 2 evils if my state was up for grabs. But when it is sure which way my state will go then voting for anyone else sends a message, a small one, but small messages add up.
So much defensiveness of institutionalisation and a return to the will of man being the ultimate go to.
And yet people complain about too much government.
And in no place did Jesus confiscate other people's property to do any of this.

I never understood this because what the right stands for is not even biblical. Two of the things that are absolutely biblical and correct from the right/conservatism are : 1. Anti-LGBT and 2. Pro-Life. And I agree with this, along with general traditional family values and biblical morality. But everything else in the right wing you can argue is completely against Christianity and what Jesus taught. Everything in the right seems to be based on political identity and culture, not Jesus Christ. So I don't understand why right wing politics caters to Christian evangelicals so much.
