@SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to Acts of the Apostles 2:44-45
All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.

Exactly.
People diss Trump when he's the one who knows history.
And he's also completely right that Christian values, when actually applied, are a disaster for the ones who misuse their power.

I never wrote that he has Christian values.
But he clearly was right about Communism being thousand years-old, as Engels had already pointed (quoting the same Acts verse, I believe ?), and contrary to what people dissing him hinted.

Yes, many cultures through history have had some sort of socialized resource production and distribution, at least for some resources. But that is not the same as Marxist communism, which is a specific form of political organization.
And I very much doubt Trump knows who Engels was. Trump is a fucking idiot.

IMHO, the worst part of all this is that Trump was actually chosen by people. Even though he’s made life harder for the majority, there have been almost no protests—at least from my perspective in the Czech Republic (Europe).
BTW we’re not better. We’re just lucky that this time we’re led by a lesser asshole.
