When everyone works or gets UBI from the government that is all overhead cost and no production. Without production there is no sales, no sales no income.
This is why socialism, communism, fascism and nazism will eventually collapse in on itself.
The only reason why China is still around is because of Nixon and Clinton opening trade. They then flooded our country with cheap products and we have made the Chinese government wealthy.
Unfortunately, we will eventually have another Democrat president and Democrat majority in Congress, they will restore that trade imbalance. They are controlled by those who gain the most money from this imbalance. We will go back to being slaves to a small group of global elitists who will resume fleecing the U.S. taxpayers and future taxpayers until we have no more to give.
There are a handful of Dems who fully understand what they will be doing but there are a whole lot that only believe that if Trump is for it then we have to undo it. They haven't the slightest clue that they are just useful idiots for the globalist elites.
The two parties are not Republican and Democrat, they are the reality party and the fantasy party. The fantasy party practices magic thinking while the reality party deals with facts.
The problem is not the religion. The problem is narcissism. There are people who believe it is their right to control other people. Religion, government and any other groups or organizations are the tools those people use.
Right now today's narcissistic control freaks have dominated the Democrat party. Since Marx's spouted is nonsense the control freaks have left religion and now want the government to have that control over people. Now religion is a nuisance to them. So they point to their ideological predecessors who used religion to control people as the problem with religion. It is not, with the exception of Islam. Islam has several commandments in their Quran to kill the unbelievers, specifically Jews. I very much unlike the Bible, those commandments are still in force. The Bible never gave any commandments to kill everyone it perpetuity.
It is when you understand that the teachings of all of God, Jesus, the prophets, the apostles and the letters from Paul do not teach control. It is all about freedom. It is their teachings that deeply inspired the founding fathers to give us the freest nation to have ever existed.
When you fully understand freedom then if someone disagrees with you then you just let it go. It is not your right or responsibility to change their minds. Even if you think they are wrong.
But that isn't what leftists are about. If you don't march in lockstep with them then they cancel you. You are called a nazi, a fascist, a bigot and about 5 other standard insults (because they can't think of anything else).
With regards to what you said about your Pentecostal family, not all parents have all of the answers. Most of them are just winging it. Some do a good job and some are awful. Then there are the parents who abuse their children, sexually, physically and/or emotionally. Some parents use religion to hide behind to try to justify their behavior. But that doesn't mean there aren't atheist parents who do the same things. The percentages are not higher in religious families. I haven't researched it but I would think atheist parents would be the most screwed up.
So your belief is that the Handmaid's Tale is what Jesus taught. Because that's the only way you can make your comparison to Mao's communism valid.
Well I suppose you should've read the Bible before you watched Handmaid's Tale. The Bible does not teach men to treat women anything like that. If there ever was a Christian or Christian group who had created a society like that then they were not getting that from the Bible.
I mentioned Hamas because of you're comparison of Handmaid's Tale to Christianity. Yet the left stands with Hamas and their attempts to kill all of the Jews. AND specifically because of their treatment of women. It's a real life example of what you think about Christianity.
Read the history of the Salam witch trails. It was started by the superstitious fears of the people and was stopped by church pastors speaking out against this wickedness of those who were accusing innocent people of being witches.
