I could argue, if I wanted to, that the current capitalist system prevents people from effectively being able to choose to love their neighbor due to the requirements it places, and thus that overthrowing said system and replacing it with another would be an act of loving one's neighbor.
I'm not going to, just throwing it out there.
Social Democracy is still government taking by force from one person to give to another. Nothing Christ-like there. Just because 51% vote for something doesn't make it moral.
Please provide an example of how Capitalism, or the Free Market prevents people from loving their neighbor. The more wealth I have, the more good I can do, if I choose to do so.
Ah good old trickle down economics. That thing ivw been waiting on to work as long as I've waited on communism to not go authoritarian.
