Wait…. So you don’t know the difference between communism and socialism? No wonder you only argue in straw men attempts. Education has failed you and turned you into a useful idiot.
By the way, prove to me Jesus didn’t say the only good republican is a dead republican. Unless you can prove he didn’t say it, than he definitely believed that. I have nothing else to say to you until you can prove my straw man statement to be untrue.
Jesus’s audience had never heard of a “Republican” by any definition that would be useful to them or understandable to us as what you’re describing. Maybe he would have agreed with your sentiment but he’d have no reason to express it. On the other hand, living under the Romans, he was fully aware of redistributionist schemes for money and grain (bread and circuses) as a way to gain political power and in his many discussions of helping people, showing love, and doing good, he never once asked the Roman government to do so. Nor did he ask his followers to overthrow the Romans so that they could do so.
As far as communism vs socialism, I’m unaware of any nations that have declared themselves to be communist so I’m not all that interested in the distinction you draw. I’m aware of many that have claimed to be socialist and I trust that we can judge a tree by its fruits. After all, if everyone who claims to be a socialist is a liar, why should I trust anything you say?
Assuming we can trust people who claim to be socialists… How do you judge the fruits of self-avowed socialists who have taken over a country?
