A surprising number of Christians (surprising to me, anyway) approve of the new Muslim mayor of New York. It is well known that he is very much a socialist. He's already had to drop one of his promises. It's unaffordable. As the late Margaret Thatcher said, socialism works until you run out of other people's money.
Sir Winston Churchill had this to say:
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
I live in a semi socialist country. It has benefits for sure. But there are disadvantages as well. This country is finding socialism unaffordable. There has never been a truly prosperous socialist country. Some of the most oppressive and poorest countries are socialist. Think North Korea, for example.
Brethren, don't fall for Satan's lie. God's word commands believers to work and not to sponge off others. If someone cannot work or temporarily is in a difficult situation, for sure we should help. That should be the exception, not the rule.
