Was that the humanity practiced by the socialists of Pol Pot? Well, no need to go into that, there are so many depressing examples... The bottom line is that of the myriad political systems, almost all have killed millions except for The Great Experiment. Is American capitalism the best? Based on the number of illegals storming into America, it must be. Even China's use of quasi-capitalism is ingrained in its longevity. Typically a socialist/communist state has a life of seventy-five years, give or take a few years. 1949 is a hard line in the sand. Will the CCP's foray into using elements of capitalism be the glue to hold onto power? The clock seems to be still ticking...according to data I watch.
The "loving your neighbor as yourself" refers the fact that you should be fair in your dealings with them, sort of 'if you buy an ox from your neighbor, pay them what it is worth.' Don't take them to the cleaners. Proverbs talks often of this with 'use true scales.'
The camel thing, "it would be easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle" refers to a gate in the Wall of Jerusalem which was common knowledge at the time. It was a study in protection, if you got to the Gate after dark they would not open it, but there was a opening were you could put your camel on a rug and drag them through the wall. It was easily defensible and only allowed people could enter the city.
The rest of your claims are injunctions to the body of believers (Church) NOT to the government.
Your claims of socialism are therefore a stretch. Since socialism is the State forcing people to its will.
I suspect you missed the point. See if this allegory helps: If there is a pizza and eight poor people, for each to eat, you should cut eight equal slices in common. But a little bit does not feed them well. They all will be hungry. But if only two people are eyeing the pizza, they each in common get a half ideally and are now no longer hungry.
This is how 800 million believe themselves no longer impoverished.
Just as Americans believe themselves free, when they are poised on the cliff of communism.
I suppose that is a matter of whom you hang with. One of the Amendments' clauses, Freedom of Association. I've got to log off, spent too much time on this today, still it was pleasant to chat with you.
