This is a very weak place to go to support socialism as a Church value. The early Acts (before Stephen is stoned) was a period where both the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven were in play. Once the King comes, the Kingdom of Heaven will operate similar to socialism.
Stephen gave a compelling sermon that the Jews rejected. Before Stephen was stoned, he said, āBehold, I see the Son of God standing on the right hand of God.ā Jesus was ready to return to earth and rule the Kingdom of Heaven (the earthly kingdom.) When the Jews rejected the message the Kingdom of Heaven was taken out of play (and still is out of play.) We live with the Kingdom of God, which is a spiritual kingdom.
In Romans chapter 13 the scripture makes it pretty clear that the Church is subject to the higher powers, and not to resist them. The Churchās mission is to perfect their relationship with God, and to share that gift of God to others. The Church is not to bring in the Kingdom by force. That will be done by Jesus at the time unknown to anyone.
This is what taking the Lordās name in vain actually means.

Yeah, me too. He has definitely charted his own course in the past couple years. If any of the moonbats knew what was good, theyād follow his lead instead of the novelty acts like AOC & friends.
But if they knew that, they wouldnāt be moonbats, would they?
It definitely is. The best clue is how any mainstream Christian church has teachings that are completely incompatible with socialism, and how Unitarian Universalists (and The Peopleās Temple, plus all of the other various socialist offshoots) do everything possible to undermine Christian teachings and Christian society, all while wearing a Christian costume.
Donāt take my word for it. Hereās my local Unitarian Universalist church explaining that their organization teaches social justice and only requires faith in revolutionary socialism, not any higher power.
Going back to my earlier comment comparing Talarico to Graham Platner, Platner doesnāt talk in religious terms at all and represents a very different repackaging of socialist thought. Heās the version that pretends to be a working-class tough guy. His is a combat veteran so he does have legit tough guy cred, but his entire campaign has been an effort to downplay the Nazi tattoo and the crazy Reddit posts and use enough vague language to come across as somewhat moderate while still making it clear heās a hardcore social justice warrior, just like The Reverend Jim Jones.
He showed up in Lewiston to āstand with Somaliansā when unbelievable levels of Somali fraud are being made public with Medicaid payment data finally getting into the hands of journalists. He stood on stage with our local Unitarian Universalist āfaith leadersā and one of the headline speakers was the head of a Somali nonprofit who took mass shooting funds, which is another story theyāre trying to make go away.
In related news, The Root Cellar just announced that they are giving their $65,522 back to Victims First to be distributed to victims of the mass shooting. So far, they are the only one of 29 nonprofits to do so.

My experience with the UU church is that when Bush was giving money to faith based groups to support public outreach, they were more than happy to host AA & Al-anon meetings once per week.
When that policy was rescinded so was our welcome.
What the hell was that? I heard āme, me, me.ā Opposed toā¦
That story checks out. The Unitarian Universalists are deeply integrated into the public grifting machine that operates here in Maine. They play an important role in establishing moral authority for revolutionary socialist thought that is almost entirely dependent on extracting wealth from the population to function. Most social justice organizations operating in Maine either have extremely large private endowments or depend almost entirely on public funding in the form of government grants. Even the ones with large endowments find ways to launder public money through a series of nonprofits, with hundreds of billions of dollars being laundered every year. DataRepublican (small r) on X has documented this quite thoroughly. Iām not sure it was even possible to chart before AI, which was one of DOGEās great achievements. Itās totally mind-boggling.
In short, very few people want to give their hard-earned money to social justice organizations, so they need to gain political power to extract it from the population. Thatās why the Maine Community Foundation, whose website made it clear that the ideology of DEI guided their every action, figured out a legal pathway to divert nearly 2 million dollars to immigrant and prisoner advocacy nonprofits that were raised by giving donors the impression that they were helping mass shooting victims.
Very few people want to donate their money to The Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition or Somali-Bantu Women Unite, so it needs to be extracted by deception or taxation.
Like I said, their teachings (and Talaricoās and Jim Jonesās) are completely incompatible with Christianity. All wrapped up in language of love, inclusivity, rainbows, and the idea that we should be open-minded towards everything but actual Christianity, which they call fascist and racist while ironically going on and on about race-based social justice.

It is no coincidence that the woke came after Tolkien. It is no coincidence that heās now considered āfar-rightā by the UK government, along with Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. It is no coincidence they are packaging their ideas in a Christian facade.

Its probably axiomatic to its function.
Think about it. A network of malinant leftist liars operating under the guise and protection of religious freedom.
Maybe Lemon should bust into one and work his journalistish magic on them? Do an expose on their fartsniffing amateur hour immitations of a TED talk?
As if those fucking things arent insufferable enough.

Itās pretty low on my probability scale, but who knows? We already went woke left, why not woke right? 20 years from now we could be listening to President Fuentes explaining something that makes transgenderism and mass migration seem downright sensible. Imagine David Koresh but heās having sex with all of the husbands in his cult.
So the question isā¦was she fired as she is now a diplomat for the Special Envoy Shield of Americas, interesting
Is this actually true? Orwell was hard leftist.
Orwell was a ādemocratic socialistā but I wouldnāt call him a āhard leftistā due to his strong disdain for Stalinās totalitarianism (and Hitlerās for that matter). I canāt crawl inside the guyās brain, but if he saw how every instance of socialism (actual state seizure of private property) has played out over the last 80 years, he wouldnāt be a Democratic Socialist today. Certainly not a DSA member. They are the embodiment of Orwellian doublespeak here in the USA (as well as their fellow travelers in the UK). Orwell believed that REAL socialism was possible without Stalin or Hitler levels of totalitarianism, which he was obviously deeply critical of. I donāt think he ever really fleshed out a coherent political theory, but he was deeply patriotic as well as an English nationalist, not an internationalist communist.
But yes, it is very true. Reading these authors (and C.S. Lewis) is one of the many āsigns of radicalizationā according to the wokescolds who run the United Kingdom today.
