Christianity is akin to Fascism

Totalitarian Communism 1. a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of allproperty in common, actual ownership being ascribed to thecommunity as a whole or to the state.2. a system of social organization in which alleconomic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian statedominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party. [1]3. of or relating to a centralized government that does not tolerate partiesof differing opinion and that exercises dictatorial control over manyaspects of life. [2]This is the collective definition of the term of which I shall be using throughout the debate. RedistrabutionBefore I get into the early church calling for this I shall first get into the Biblical verses on the matter. "For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened; but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may supply their lack, that their abundance also may supply your lack - that there may be equality. As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. ” (2 Corinthians 8:13-15)Doesn't this almost seem a little familiar? We can see that this Biblical verse almost mimics Karl Marx's "From each accodring to his own, to each according to his need" argument. Shown in this Biblical verse it shows outright that people should produce what they can and the surplus is redistrabuted to the poor and those without. Before we jump off the deap end thinking the wrong way we can actually see that this is something that is ideal in that time period. Judeiah was a poor area in the Roman Empire, kinda like Western Kansas, so the fact that this redistrabution would help the people of Judeiah as wealth would pour in from Rome and Alexandria. This generally would eliminate the class and caste systems causing for case of equality. [3]"Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. " (Acts 4:32-35)Here again, we see that after the death of Christ we see more distrabution of wealth in order to help the poor. Many people again are giving up their Earthly pocessions for the betterment of others. It is not like they are giving up a dollar or two, but this is their homes. We can see that the true Christians who "walked the walk" were communist. Anti-Property “The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me. " Lev 25:23Here we can see God owns the property, and since he would be concidered the government which I'll get into later, the government would thus own all property which is, once again, another property of communism. [4] Vladimir Leinin, a Marxist advocate, argued on this theory, modernizing Communism for Russia and making it relivant as he applied it to land. This verse from Levetiucs outright argees with Lenin. "And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head. " (Luke 9:58)Here Jesus himself argues stating that Man has nowhere. One could easily state that man would have a house or some sort of shealter, but here Jesus is referring to property. Showing that the man should give up what he has in order for other to gain. This is revealed as the Fox OWN the holes they live in as the birds have nests, but Man wounders and has nothing as God has called them to go and preach the word and care for the poor. By doing this they abolish the property. To further this I would like to go a little bit after the Bible to 397 AD. The Bishop of Constinople John Chrysostom argued against the owner ship of property and greed. He shown that people should give up what they have and go on to live real Christian lives. He stated, "You receive more than you give, you are benefied more than you benefit. You lend to God not people. " [5] Here again we can see Christianity's disaproval of both property and wealth in the Bible and Church Leaders. Christianity as a Totalitarian state. Now that I have shown that the apects of Communist Christianity is true I shall now move on to Totalitarian side. I do this seperately since there are two completely separate types of Communism. See political compass system bellow. I'm escentailly arguing Upper Left while my opponent is arguing Upper Right. "The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. " Proverbs 15:3Here's a scary Biblical verse that shows God just as Orwell describes Big Brother. Always watching. Though God might not be using Telescrenes, but he is everywhere all the time. Watching us like a hawk. Just like the Communist system in the USSR where the KGB constantly watched people and everyone was paranoid, because they didn't know if their neighbor was part of the KGB spying on them and if they did something bad the person had to report it or the said person might also be a KGB agent seeing if they were law abiding citizens. Just how God sent angels to test many in the Bible. "Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. "- Exodus 34:14Here we can see that God demands ultamate loyalty. You cannot worship any other God, but Yahwey. Just as Stalin, Mao, Kim Jung Sung, or Pol Pot all demanded of their people. What happens when you cross their path? "in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. " 2 Thes. 1:8Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. " (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT) Unfortunately I'm running out of characters here, but here we can see that if you question God that you will burn in hell or if someone questions God then the entire town pays for it. Just how if someone questions the government in North Korea their entire immidaiate family is taken to a concentration camp. Where they are worked to death just how things were in Gulags in the USSR.
