Interesting . . . the double standard stuff . . . folks who are extremely outrageously hostile about the least hint of anyone daring to 'force' or 'coerce'
someone else's construction on reality onto the double standard bloke
are commonly INSISTENT on forcing THEIR construction on reality onto others.
I've said that I WILL not.
Yet the uninformed double standard folks typically hereon
INSIST that = CANNOT.
The looks on their faces when they discover otherwise should be interesting.

Sounds like a pretty cold world he made for himself. Those are some pretty dark passages.
Most people go through those kinds of thoughts, but they typically come and go. They're a phase. With that guy though, they stuck around and he made a political movement based on it all.
I don't see much logic in any of it. Just a lot of personal feelings.

NOPE.
Marx was hostile to God, to Christ and to all Jesus stood for.
Marx championed satan and satan's values and goals.
Marx sought to exterminate those Christ owned as the Father's chosen tribal groups.
Falsely extrapolating nonsense from the Biblical record is not truth.
Nope, Jesus would have favored Marx over most. Jesus wanted tolerable life for all humans, Marx wanted tolerable life for all humans. Most cannot say the same of their ideals. Have you ever even read Marx?

There is a big, fundamental difference between Jesus and Marx - Marx claimed to want tolerable life for all humans as enforced by the state, so at the point of a gun which violates on of the big Commandments that Jesus still endorsed. You know, the one about not stealing. Yes, it's even theft when the state does it.
Jesus, by contrast, wanted us to share amongst ourselves willingly. Yes, a perfectly Christian society where everyone is all in and believing would look very close to socialist, but there would be no element of compulsion behind it and no state regulating it. People would be free to produce as they could and free to share what they needed to with their neighbors who, in turn, would share back (or trade). In a sense, it would be very close to free market, too. The difference is that no one would be worried about having to keep track of needing enough because if they fell short someone else would be happy to make up the difference for them knowing that when the time came, someone would help them in turn. All freely done with no worries.
The thing is that the perfect society of Jesus cannot exist today in this world. Human nature prevents it.
