Because it was. I wish I knew how to cut out just that 10 secs , Id use it as a ringtone lol

I don't think JC would agree with Marx on some things... but Jesus WAS indeed FOR CERTAIN a socialist of a different type, and He disdained the wealthy, the Roman Caesars & their corruption, and the hypocrites who were only outwardly religious.

@@bonashiquandapropiciasmith4654 Jesus stated that the rich should take it upon themselves to help those in need. That's philanthropy, not socialism.

OMFG ... That's brilliant ! Love the inversion.

Bullet Anarchy So what's your point? Because Jesus wasn't the originator of those two commandments, it's okay to steal and kill?

Marxism ultimately boiled down: The one who is unwilling to work shall work or die, no sit-back "reaping what you do not sow" capitalism allowed!" "I pledge my allegiance, to the flag"... A Christian socialist.

@@letsomethingshine The workshy won't die if they don't reap what they sowed, i.e. if they don't reap an income from their toil to feed themselves. Out of necessity, they will just start working/sowing and reaping (an income) like everyone else. There's nothing like an empty stomach to focus the mind on what is important. Note also that the verse says, "unwilling to work," not "can't work due to illness or infirmity" (they should be cared for) or "because there IS no work." In biblical times when there was no work, people would voluntarily become slaves. It was either that or they and their family would starve. In those cases, slave owners are called upon to treat their slaves well in the bible, i.e. it doesn't condone slavery at all, but where it does exist, slaves should be treated well. Work is GOOD for people, so in a roundabout way, not feeding the workshy is GOOD for them because it will get them off their backsides and get them to be productive members of society. Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! Ants are busy, ants are workers, ants get things done, ants don't expect to sit on their bony little asses and wait to be fed, ants are wise. Be like the ant. The bible teaches us to look after the genuinely sick and the widow elsewhere, so they are not left out of the equation. A person pledging their allegiance to a national flag is a nationalist. Nationalism (the worship/adoration of the nation state) is idolatrous. We are called to worship the Creator, not created things, which is idolatry. Idolatry is anathema (condemned) in the bible, besides, Christians are not of this WORLD, let alone of a nation state... John 15: 18,19 If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. We're just passing through, but we are expected to be industrious and to work hard in the process in order to set a good example to others... 2 Thessalonians 3: 7~10 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9 We did this to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” In short, there is no such thing as a Christian Socialist, the term is an oxymoron, in this case, delivered by a moron... oxymoron /ˌɒksɪˈmɔːrɒn/ _noun._ a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction. moron /ˈmɔːrɒn/ _noun._ a stupid person. And before you say that's unChristian, Jesus called fools.... fools and we are predestined to be conformed to His likeness... Romans 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. So if Jesus can call a fool a fool (which is true), then we can also, in fact we should in the hope that they will come to their senses.

You are misunderstanding Marxism lmao

@@dustyhendrix1218 Two people have posted opposing views and yet you don't offer a single clue as to which one doesn't understand Marxism according to you. If it's me, the bible is clearly opposed to a welfare state and in favour of personal responsibility, whereas a welfare state is one of the things that underpins a Marxist/Socialist country, meaning that the bible is opposed to Marxism/Socialism. It's not rocket science. If it's the other person, then I agree, he clearly doesn't understand Marxism. Oh and your comment, "You are misunderstanding Marxism" (without any evidence) is something Marxists say all the time when their ideology is exposed for what it is, i.e. "Ahh, but that isn't Marxism." lmao

oldnikonian I disagree with you when you say Marxism and Christianity are inherently opposing beliefs. I could quote innumerable verses from both Old and New Testament that call upon not individuals, but groups of people to care for the needy. Marxism is a collectivist ideology that believes society should take care of the underprivileged. Marxism isn’t “give free stuff to lazy ppl”. It’s an alternative to capitalism. This idea of democratizing the means of production to make a just society is much more in line with Jesus of Nazareth than the selfish consumerist one we live in today.

@Schizo Neo Is it the smartphone's fault? A smartphone is only a tool, and everyone uses it, therefore if the evil was in the smartphone itself, everyone should be incapable of formulating thoughts and phrases, but it doesn't seem like society is in that state yet, despite 10+ years since the birth of smartphones. Also, most people you talk about are people that grew up having a smartphone for at most 8 years, but more probably for 6-7, by that time they should've been taught enough to be able to write in a proper manner (That would probably differ from what the sleep deprived me is writing right now), therefore the problem is not in the smartphone, but in the educators that did poor work, be it the teachers or the parents, at socializing and teaching the child in order to make him a functioning thinking adult, or maybe the child wasn't born to use language to think, rather being more able to work on numbers or pictures. But yeah, keep demonizing a piece of technology that makes your life easier and that you yourself definitely use a couple hours a day instead of actually having to encounter the burden to think about the real causes of a missed proficiency in language that may or may not actually exist, because you in fact took only a small sample in your "time tutoring college students" and you probably are cherry picking the worst ones while forgetting about the fact that the brilliant ones might have not even needed your help to begin with. Also, before you try to disprove the argument i presented you with by simply attacking the fact that my grammar isn't correct, I'm not an american, i live in Italy, therefore english is my second language

@Schizo Neo I would say that's the natural flow of how marketing started using psychology to entrap people, even these upvotes you get feed into Yay! attention.

@@markthegorilla profound indeed

Whats funny to me, being as old as I am, is all of this was basically the central theme of Bill coopers hour of the time, defining this situation and naming the players. Its why they killed him in his yard.

That is a perfectly logical statement if you read the book of Acts. Unfortunately, people would rather listen to Peterson's load of pro capitalist horse sh... while our government sells out to Corporate interests who promote the same. Yet, somehow you jackasses think he is one of us! He is one of them. Zizek is Neo. Peterson is Mr. Smith. Red pill or blue pill!

@@leowilliams6848 There is a difference between the Christians voluntarily sharing what they have with each other, and Marxists killing those who have in order to help themselves to what they are too lazy and incapable to produce for themselves. Marxism is evil, because in practice it is always established on theft and murder. Both of which are sins in the Christian tradition.

@@GuardianTactician Nowhere does Marx say to kill anyone. Again, the interpretation and implementation of a concept, which in this case would qualify as indisputably grotesque, does not necessarily condemn the concept itself. If you hired a bunch of ex cons to run a bank, it's likely the business would not succeed. Is that because banks are inherently evil? No. That line of thinking is irrational.

@@leowilliams6848 Nowhere does he say to kill anyone, but the community manifesto reports that Engels essentially said that if a revolution occurred, it would be because the bourgeois brought it on themselves and they (the communists) would support it. It said in multiple places that it was all about overthrowing the social order. That's all pretty indefensible from a biblical standpoint.

@@tyronejones4245 Well, if you have millions of people starving while 1% are overindulging, as a consequence of the exploitation of the 99%, this statement would in essence be true. The law of self preservation states that people will do what they need to do, in order to survive. That certainly does not exclude killing their oppressors. In fact, this is a theme throughout history, regardless of the social order. I personally think that the reason capitalism is being sold so hard to the masses, is because it serves as a catalyst for the preservation of the 1%. So, unless you're rich, you're arguing against your own self interest. Now, things may not be that bad now. However, they will inevitably become dire, once artificial intelligence is ushered in. And let's be honest. Even within this pandemic, we are already seeing elements of socialism injected to support and appease the masses. Otherwise, civil unrest will undoubtedly ensue. So, if we truly take a step back and analyze, from an objective point of view, when the wheels begin to fall off the engine of capitalism, it's socialism that emerges from the wreckage. Ultimately, the dialectic must synthesize a middle ground, or there will be hell to pay for the elite. And while you may disagree with me now, wait until you're hungry, or worse, your kids are hungry.

@@histsap I hear something like this more from someone who holds some savior complex. "They" are an anarchist but others are not up to the mental stage so in the mean time, they need a protective government. It is pretty common in different forms. I think that was part of the distaste for Catholic Priests before protestant became a thing.

Ah! Another Libertarian Party infiltrator, no introductions needed.

@@histsap damn, you beat me to it

lol- you find many of these people in Germany, unfortunately

He also had the ridiculous and simplistic idea that society divided into two groups; the oppressed proletariat and the oppressing bourgeoise. It's a really, really stupid idea. I believe it is one of the reasons we have so many ....ists and .....isms floating around these days. Unfortunately cultural Marxism has taken hold in many countries and most especially academia. This means many post graduates now working in media or government have unconsciously absorbed Marxist thought and they are constantly looking for victim groups so their Marxist theories make sense. If there is no oppressed group it must mean Marx is wrong and that creates a cognitive dissonance that they find uncomfortable so they go looking for, and find, the oppressed and their oppressors.

@@The80sWolf_ You lefties have really lost the ability to think and also to listen. I know it's been pounded into your brain that everything is subjective and there is no truth, so of course Christianity means nothing to you and you fancy you can rebrand it as you wish and call yourself anything you wish. JP explained quite well why marxism and Christianity are polar opposites, but since you missed it: If you are Christian then YES, YOU MUST THINK IN CERTAIN WAYS, otherwise call it something else because we take our faith seriously, unlike you who take absolutely nothing seriously going by your inane comments.

@David Tomyn They don't believe in truth now. How insane is that,and how do you even deal w/ such people? it's no wonder they are so confused and constantly contradict themselves. It's also no wonder they are so angry, rageful and are getting increasingly dangerous. No truth, no absolutes, no boundaries, just completely unmoored. They demand this and think this is good, all this freedom they always go on about (just not for you, you white supremacist facsist, no freedom for you, not even speech) and yet being so absolutely untethered to a point we can't even relate to them anymore has to be something akin to those deprivation tanks they did all the experiments w/.

@@Timisfree I am trying to tell if your comment is comedic or not..

flabiger: I am fairly conservative and a big proponent of capitalism p, as I believe it to be the most fair economically, but the idea that Christianity doesn’t mix with different economic structures is purely incorrect. It is an incorrect limit on God’s power, and essentially falsely condemn millions of people who God ordered us to reach for His glory. When you look in the book of acts the early church was founded on communistic principles. Each gave all they had to the church and took as each needed and God killed those who lied about their giving.

To clarify: there is a big difference between Marxism and economic structures. Marxism attempts to define morality and economic structure

@@stevenlubbers7236 I would agree that you make a good point about that. However, I would also say that the early Church isn't quite the same as an entire economic system. It was a small group of individuals who were on the fringes of society that didn't have too much of an economic impact on the Roman Empire. Also, the giving was based on an honoring of God's call to give charitably and His command to go preach the Gospel. There was a mission they were given. Socialism doesn't have a mission besides to provide everyone equal outcome.

Brando550 as I said, I believe capitalism is the most fair and just society for imperfect people

...makes you think, then we all go back to sleep!

Vulcan 14 ? Who are you talking about?

@@ipancham9980The poem written by Carl Marx. Peterson read the poem.

To me it sounded like a narcissists dream of ommnipotence.

complex? he says things we all say just with more words if you dig into it

Jim Deiner that was so funny and surprising to me, I snorted! Classic statement.

...true, but it does condemn the philosophies of men!

Oh really, Jesus Christ forces everyone in a suggestive manner to treat the neighbor over thy self. And to share share share until you have nothing that you possess, for possession of things is bad, unless our holy society demands you partake of it. Same ideology, the only difference is that Marxists do it to rebel and make everyone the same, while Jesus did through love. Both doctrines go against the natural order, which is kill or be killed.

one is giving in Christian charity the other is being forced to give by the government.

@@Soundeagle3456 "treat your neighbour over yourself"...? Jesus said that? Love your neighbour AS MUCH AS you love ypurself

There are many parallels between christianity and communism

@Mary Smith ...which is why Van Badham is nothing more than a typical stupid sheltered workshop idiot who is completely divorced from reality

Richard P “each shall sit under their own fig tree”. This is the picture the bible paints of the new kingdom under God. It’s funny, because the Christian view of the new world actually sounds Marxist. Almost like Marx was trying to posit a way it would happen naturally without God. The early church was also much closer to communal living than we are. Selling all that they had and sharing it together. Just something to think about. I am not a Marxist by any stretch, but to say they are “diametrically” opposed is just a blatant lie or a misunderstanding. Luke 3:10-11(NIV) 10 “What should we do then?” the crowd asked. 11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” Acts 2:44-46 (NKJV) 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, And perhaps the most telling verse of the early Christian lifestyle. Markedly different than the consumerism of todays Western culture. Acts 4:32-35 (NIV) 32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

@@lukericker8325 Think this: Jesus Christ took a race-based religion that had God's blessings in it, turned it upside-down and made it faith based and therefore open to everyone who believes. In so doing He launched a movement of people who were and are united to this day in propagating His message - through Word, literature and culture. His was THE successful revolution. All others are counterfeits.

@@Angrybogan The problem is you think Jesus Christ that did that when actually it is a story of political and intellectual convenience and compromise.

@@bulletanarchy6447 To what problem do you refer? Jesus Christ's kingdom is heavenly, not earthly. The body of believers to which I refer above, will always have human frailties in it. No one os disputing that. What I object to is the false and foolish belief that Marxists like Badham can amalgamate Marx and Christ. It cannot work. Nonetheless Western "Judeo-Christian" civilisation (itself an artificial term) is the best civilisation we have had, ever.
