What the Bible Teaches
1. Man was not made to rule himself. The Bible says: “It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.” (Jeremiah 10:23) History verifies the truthfulness of that statement. Government by man has not brought a better world, even when rulers have had high ideals and the best of intentions. Instead, “man has dominated man to his injury.”—Ecclesiastes 8:9.

Also YDSA has set up clubs in the Universities, as I just stated. And yes they DO want to replace capitalism with socialism/communism even while using capitalism for their ends. I listened to people in the Occupy movement directly call for the end to capitalism. I read their list of things they wanted, including such things as “participatory democracy”, which is really a lead up to direct democracy which is not what we have in the US, we have a Republic. I’ve heard them demand student loans forgiven, among other things now being proposed by newly elected people in Congress pushing a socialist agenda. Comm
McCarthy was right then, and still right today.

To me it starts with politicians actually giving a crap about our laws - - they swear an oath to uphold those laws yet they have no interest in doing so b/c of the money involved. How do you get money out of politics...I don't know. But I do know that we can vote politicians out of politics. That's why I refuse to vote for any incumbent until I see real progress.

LOL! Socialism, the big boogey again. Sorry this is as fake as the national emergency that was declared. Capitalism isn't going anywhere. The word socialism is dishonestly used to describe liberals, when they aren't even socialists. If you are against socialism, then disband the military. It's a socialist program.
Why stop there? Disband the entire government and we can let corporations have autonomous control of everything. That would be a much better system, RIGHT? Unregulated capitalism, which is the equivalent of far rightists goals to make the rich richer because they are in the pockets of billionaires. No public schools, just corporate controlled knowledge would be great, right? Get rid of medicare, social security, federal prisons and the justice system, all government funded science, welfare and all programs to help the needy. Everything needs to be 100% about profit!!! Let the poor die and be exploited for profit, as Jesus would have wanted.
Helping the poor by assisting with healthcare and lowering the cost of education is considered socialism by idiots on the right because they want to exploit the fear based simple mind of the conservative. These people are insane, it makes sense now why there are so many Trumpers on here now. They all live in fear and paranoia.

They prey on the ignorance of teens today. Teens in the older days have always been stupid, but these days its off the charts. They simply don't know history or anything about economics and they're easily set off by emotional stimuli.

Oh god, I hear you loud and clear on that one brother.
But if we don't change ourselves first and get rid of the central banks, the fed will be recreated under some other pretense/new name that would again serve the oligarchs.
Do you think it is time for a new system?
oh yeah, ditch the Fed and eliminate all government social and corporate welfare programs. back to real asset values including housing and BAM all a sudden people are getting real wages and the value of your dollar means something
