Did you mean right-wing ideology? (Calling @tptacek and @patio11 ....)
- mbork_pl 4y agoI suppose there are various right-wing ideologies, and some of them may be compatible with Christianity. I cannot imagine any left-wing ideology (which is at best wrong and at worst downright evil) compatible with Christianity.
- dctoedt 4y agoOut of curiosity: In general, how would you describe "left-wing ideology" and "Christianity"?
- seanw444 4y agoOne has to be enforced by government to work at a large scale. The other is formed by everyone willingly participating. Pretty sure Jesus never said anything about the forced redistribution of wealth against your will being good.
- andyjda 4y agoany way you decide to organize a state will have to be enforced by government to work at a large scale. That's what the law is for. Jesus actually did have a pretty clear statement in favor of taxes, the most common form of forced redistribution of wealth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_unto_Caesar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_unto_Caesar
