@ShredderFeeder Socialism is in the bible - there's this bit where a gang of disciples pool their assets, if I remember correctly from school all those decades ago.

@ShredderFeeder Absolutely bonkers and utter hypocrisy!! If you extend it a bit, you'll be able to see the why; why the blank-check acceptance of very badly disguised "benevolent" authoritarians.

@ShredderFeeder Hmmm... Let's see. They won't be able to spend time sneering at poor people, demeaning the sick, chuckling with pals about buying off the Government, cornering markets, competing with fellow fat rats over the most expensive car/ airplane/ villa /island/ ranch/ wardrobe/... , savoring that the "losers" aren't eating caviar... They won't have any of their pleasures! But real Christians can enjoy thinking of them surrounded by other fat rats, all singing hymns, 24/7 ➡️ ♾️

@ShredderFeeder They further describe "heaven" as having streets lined with gold. People will swallow a whole lot on "faith" won't they?

@ShredderFeeder They think of heaven that way because they believe only people exactly like them will be there. It's consistent with their world view because it's all only for them.

@ShredderFeeder The description of heaven is not quite fitting when it comes to Christianity. The Christian heaven has a hierarchy of people nearer to god and people farer from him. So a rich and priviliged Christian can die believing that he will have a better place in heaven than all the other peasants, at least when he is free of sin and did all the sacraments...

@ShredderFeeder Pretty sure they describe heaven as a place where they'll "have a mansion just over the hilltop" and it's a "bright land where we'll never grow old."

@ShredderFeeder Marxism also emerged from the Abrahamic monotheistic tradition, only with heaven relocated from the afterlife to the human world. The United States is a right-wing country that has long been hostile to welfare policies, yet its culture core is also so called WASP — which is, in fact, a contradiction in itself. However, in reality, many countries that have implemented Marxism have turned into entities where a small clique monopolizes the distribution of resources.

@ShredderFeeder I don't think those are the same religious people. Those who are invested in God's economy are not generally those who are invested in empire/nationalism. Even though they might claim the same religion.

@ShredderFeeder Uhm.....Catholics on line two. They'd like a word with you about this 'classless heaven' presumption.

The above is a description of communism. Socialism was declared an intermediate stage before communism; the latter was never built.

@ShredderFeeder Socialism is oligarchy of government. It has very little to do with classless or heaven... some pigs are more equal than others in socialism's power dynamic by definition.

@ShredderFeeder Christians, yes. Muslim paradise is quite different and misogynistic, separate heavens for men, married women and maidens. Valhalla is even worse. Basically just a promise of everything you want as long as you toe the line.

@ShredderFeeder @wvi Perhaps because there would be unlimited resources in heaven.

@ShredderFeeder No, there is absolutely no irony: religion (at least those with eschatological ontology) needs the metaphysical, the beyond, the possibility of "immanentizing the Eschaton" scares the shit out of them because it destroys despair in this world and the need for submission to their rules and sacrifice in this life for those rewards in the life beyond.

@ShredderFeeder isn't it the GOP Modus Operandi to make life a living hell so that death and nothingness will feel like heaven.

@ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.com Well, we can't really have Heaven on Earth right?
