- JshWright 10y agoWhat's wrong with "Christian socialist"? While we have conflated (evangelical) Christianity with right-wing politics in the US, that is far from universal. Most of the Christian churches described in the Bible are, in many ways, socialist communes.
- zbyte64 10y agoAnd in many ways that is how the early Church started. It provided social services that the failing states of the time could not.
- taneliv 10y agoChristian socialist is definitely not an oxymoron. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_democratic_parties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_democratic_p... : "Christian democracy often advocates centre-right positions on cultural, social, and moral issues and Social market economic policies" and further, "whereas in the very different cultural and political environment of Latin America they tend to lean to the left". Utopian socialism is an actual thing : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopian_socialism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopian_socialism , related to socialist utopia, in a way that is characterised as "possible ways society can turn out to be in the future".
