mLine 532:
Line 532: − − :You wish to ignore reality, [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]: That there are people on both the left and on the right who are selfish. Capitalism has a valued role to play but exploitive capitalism is destructive to all (and ironically to the economy). You oversimplify. Taken literally the politics you espouse would lead to one party rule – that is what extremists of all ilk want. Most Conservatives, Liberals, and Socialist, are democrats. Do you really believe that everyone on the political Right is Godly and altruistic, to use your word? --[[User:Timber2|Timber2]] ([[User talk:Timber2|talk]]) 16:13, 19 May 2020 (EDT) − − ::What does Christianity have to say about wealth? I cannot find anything here. My starting point is Matthew 19:24. Going to Wikipedia I discover that there are two main views. I had sort of forgotten that Christianity too has its left, right, and presumably middle. --[[User:Timber2|Timber2]] ([[User talk:Timber2|talk]]) 16:56, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

:I presume that this comment relates to the previous section. I don't know about the people named (Dinesh D'Souza or PragerU ) but with regard to Socialism in Britain [[User:Rafael|Rafael]] comments are very stimulating and I would be interested in what sources he might recommend, and if he plans on adding new content. A fuller discussion of European Socialism is also badly needed. And what about Tolstoy in Russia? --[[User:Timber2|Timber2]] ([[User talk:Timber2|talk]]) 13:05, 19 May 2020 (EDT)

::I've always applied a simple solution to the problem Ed so clearly outlined - strip away all pretenses to altruism, and look at (a) the actual record, and (b) which actually defines its true motives and aims.
