Socialism
"From each according to
his ability, to each according to his needs" - Karl Marx
Socialism,
Marxism, Communism are the greatest wrongs in world history, I would go as far
to say that it is the greatest evil in the world. It sounds good in theory and
may be intended for good, but leaves out so much of the equation. It rejects
"Each according to his will", "Each according to his
desire", "Each according to his motives".
This
system is inherently atheistic and goes on the notion that there is no free
will in the human race. It creates a sense of complacency where no one will
strive to obtain the ability to provide for the needy. In this theory, one
would arrive in a profession by animalistic instinct and not choice. In reality
that is not the case. If you take out the factor of free will, and just believe
that people will still work as hard to make themselves better it is altogether
naive.
Incentive
drives the people to succeed, socialism undercuts incentive because one can be
needy and receive the incentive of the able.
If one can be of the needy with no responsibilities and receive the same
benefits of the able, then what reason does one get up on their feet and
provide for others? Free will causes the
collapse of a socialistic system. Thus,
one must believe “free will” does not exist to believe that socialism works,
which God cannot exist to them. With no
God, then free will cannot exist, because that would mean that we are just
animals and we would be subject to pure instinct. That being said, we should all know that free
will does exist, because at many times during life we resist what instinct
would have us do.
The
view that “free will” does not exist is what led Hitler to try and eradicate
Jews, because he figured he would just help natural selection along. Do you believe that Hitler was right wing, that
he wasn’t socialistic and that he was Christian? These beliefs are all false. The
National Socialist German Workers’
Party was the NAZI party, and Hitler, himself, was a Darwinist. Now, the Soviet Union might have understood
that their socialist system could not work with religion, because they attempted
to make their country atheistic, but even telling people to be atheists did not
help their system succeed. Socialists
rise to power by claiming to be on the side of the proletariat (Middle Class
and Peasants – sound familiar?), then they enslave those who they used to gain
power. “For the greater good” it is
proclaimed, but for the greater detriment is the reality. Finally, this is why Socialism, Nazism, Marxism,
Leninism, and Communism must be left on the ash heap of history. It has never worked, it will never work,
because we are not from animals, we are not a commune, we are individuals. How surprising is it that the entire system
was brought forth by an atheist?
