What is Communist Socialism, and how does its ideals conflict with Christianity and God's giving of inalienable rights?
1. Under Communist socialism, rights of the people originate from the State.
Under Communism, the people have no inalienable rights. Their rights and freedoms are determined and given only by the State. This means that whatever rights the ruling party thinks the people to have, that only will they have. There is NO basis of human rights, as the ruling party also defines what are human rights according to their principles based on Marxist philosophy. This has led to many direct persecutions and even executions of the people by rulers in a Communist state. The ruling party's realm of control over the individual is limitless using this socialist principle. The State in Communist nations have, and many of them still do, control authority for marriage, whether or not a married couple may have children, the amount and what type of education the child receives, and the type of work. If the individual wants to be Christian, then only belonging to the State operated and controlled Church is allowed. Every aspect of the citizen's life is controlled and influenced by the State.
This principle that only the State can give rights to the people is directly opposed to the idea of inalienable rights that originate from God per His Word The Bible. In a Free State, it is the duty of the State to protect inalienable rights that belong to the people. The U.S. Constitution does this when it is followed. Many of the U.S. laws to protect inalienable rights within the Constitution were derived directly from God's laws in The Bible, which is their basis. This is one of many areas in which the U.S. Constitution aligns with God's Word The Bible.
2. Communist socialism does not support individual property rights.
Under Communist socialism, EVERYTHING is owned by the State, including the people. The people also are State property in a Communist system of government. A false idealism abusing the word 'equality' is used to remove property by those who work harder in order to give it to those who get by with working less. Over the history of Communist governments this principle has created a problem with the nation's economy, making it weak. Since the people knew if they worked harder they would still receive only a portion, they had little incentive to do so. At Jamestown the Pilgrims used the idea of socialism the first year in sharing goods. Many starved that first year because there was no incentive to work hard, since if you did your abundance would be taken away and given to others that refused to work. If there is no incentive to work, it produces financial weakness. Apostle Paul said if a man refuses to work, let that man not eat.
In Communist Russia the government siezed farmer's lands and the farmer was forced to travel to the city to find work in order to live. The State created farm collective systems which the State placed other workers on the farm with no incentive to produce, and thus the land was made less productive. Some starving land owners would go back to the farm lands they owned before and gather some of the old harvest left laying in the field for a single meal, and were shot for stealing from the State, which used the idea of stealing from the people.
Protection of individual property rights is a principle that promotes productivity and real wealth, and a healthy economy. The U.S. Constitution protects these rights of the people when followed. It's illegal financial laws and systems against the U.S. Constitution that have allowed financial corruption by the few in America. One such system is the idea of Fiat paper money not backed by gold reserves. The Federal Reserve system is a Private Bank. It is not a form of Constitutional government of The United States. It pays taxes. Our U.S. Constitution only allows Congress to regulate 'coin money', not print paper dollars backed by thin air.
3. Communist-socialist idealism supports sacrifice of its people for any and all purposes devised by the State apparatus.
In some historical cases, this has meant direct genocide upon its own citizens (Cambodia, Vietnam). Under Stalin's regime state executions were common, even within party leadership. Approximately 8 million Soviet citizens were executed by Stalin's secret police squads. In war, the State often uses human wave tatics in battle sacrificing unecessarily. This is based on the principle of 'THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS'. The State views even its people as a 'thing' to be used and sacrificed for its aims. Thus Communist socialism promotes a debased value for human life.
Under the U.S. Constitution, only U.S. Congress is to have power to declare war, not the President (another area the Constitution has been supplanted by Socialist ideas from treaty agreements with world bodies like the U.N.). At the start of WWII, U.S. Congress followed the American people's desire to stay out of the fray (roughly 80% majority). It took the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to get the American people on the war wagon. (De-classified U.S. documentation per Freedom of Information Act documented in the work Day of Deceit suggests the FDR administration formed an 8 point plan that initiated the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, thus drawing Congress to declare war upon Japan. FDR was a socialist idealist.)
4. Under Communist socialism, there is no such thing as freedom of speech, nor right to free assembly, nor against unreasonable search and siezure.
This principle should be most dear to all true Americans. The others are no less important, but it was the unlawful acts of unreasonable search and siezure without warrant, persecution of freedom of speech, and right for the people to assemble, that especially led up to the American Revolution against Britain. British soldiers served as the police over the American colonists as an occuptation force. They entered homes at will, pillaging, raping, and in some cases committing murder. This all Communist states have practised throughout their history against their own citizens.
Under Communist socialism, freedom of the press is only allowed as much as it supports the goals and propaganda of the State. All other media sources are prohibited. Mere disagreement in a Communist socialist state has led to direct executions. Many Christians have been jailed and tortured by Communist states just for openly declaring one's Christian beliefs, or for openly preaching The Gospel in public. Religion is tightly controlled in Communist states, as with all other beliefs, whether political or religious.
Under our U.S. Constitution, our freedom of speech, right to assembly, and right against unreasonable search and seizure of our homes is protected.
5. Communist socialism relies on the police state and propaganda apparatus to control unpopular opinion and political loyalties of its citizens.
Under Communism, the state police, secret police, and military, enforce the political beliefs of the State upon its citizens, by force if necessary. In a police state, the police force's primary function is not just to keep law and order, but especially to enforce the aims of the State upon its citizens. There is no Posse Comitatus law, meaning the military also functions to augment the police forces. In contrast per American law of the Posse Comitatus Act, no military troops are to be used to augment local and state police forces (except in a national emergency). The military's function is to use extreme predjudice against enemy armies, not against common citizenry. This was one of the problems created in the American colonies with British soldiers acting as a police state force upon the citizens.
6. Under Communist socialism, due process of law can be extinguished at any time by the State.
This means under Communist rule, a citizen is guilty until proven innocent. Under U.S. Constitutional due process a citizen is innocent until proven guilty, and that proof must be beyond a reasonble doubt. Under Communist socialism doubt has often been used by the State to convict a citizen for death by execution.
7. Under Communist socialism, there is only ONE controlling party, the Communist Party.
When you go to vote in a Communist system of government, you vote for a Communist-Socialist, whether you like it or not. Elections are often only for 'show' in Communist nations. A way to make the citizens feel they have some say in what the ruling Communist Party does. The citizens do not have a say.
Our U.S. Constitution supports the right of its citizens to elect representatives which may come from several different political parties. It doesn't happen often that an independent gets elected, but the option is still there.
8. Under a Communist socialist State, the press is controlled by the State.
Communist socialist states often ban reading material its feels is a threat to the political beliefs of Communism. One such banned book in Communist history has been The Bible.
Our U.S. Constitution protects freedom of the press. As for censorship against filthy literature, it's still the right of the people to determine that.
9. In a Communist socialist state, the corporations are ultimately owned and controlled by the State.
A Communist economy is anti-free enterprise. Our U.S. Constitution protects the people's right to the pursuit of prosperity and happiness. It is illegal per our U.S. Constitution for the government to own and operate a free-enterprise corporation. Government is supposed to function in protecting the rights of free enterprise among the people, not involve itself in running its own free enterprise like Communist socialist states do.
10. Under a Communist socialist system, there's no limit to the State's authority over its citizens.
Under our U.S. Constitution, the rights of the state and federal governments are restricted to those rights specificaly delegated to them per the Constitution. All other rights belong to the people.
It's not difficult to fathom how our U.S. Constitution is a protector of the American people's rights and freedoms. It has all the tenets needed for a free people to govern themselves and ensure each citizen's right to opportunities for happiness and prosperity. It's when unjust leaders and courts get away from following our U.S. Constitution that produces shackles and bonds on the people away from our rights as a free people. And it's up to each U.S. citizen to know what those rights are per the U.S. Constitution, and to defend it.
1. Under Communist socialism, rights of the people originate from the State.
