Tbh I was just shitposting because I'm a filthy atheist, but yeah, this is kind of a misinterpretation.
Look at the actual content of the line. It opposes money (materialism) and God (spirituality). Which of those things does leftism value?
Neither. You ignored the opposition of leftism to spirituality and emphasised its opposition to unconstrained materialism. (Not to mention that the fundamental idea of leftism is oftentimes materialism in the sense of material causes of phenomena in society being primary, while denying the existence of transcendence and/or even free will altogether as a relevant social factor. With this blurring of the objectively distinct areas of thought you're also turning leftism into a religion, an action which was the most insidious aspect of the Soviet cultural program.)

That's plain wrong, both communism and capitalism are materialist.

[Anonymous No.17095541]

>>17095511
I meant materialism in the sense of obsessing over material wealth, which is likely closer to what Jesus was getting at (he probably didn't expect everyone to reject money altogether, only its unnecessary excess). Materialism in the philosophical sense is addressed afterwards.

I'm no expert on Christianity, but as a laymans observer the whole "love thy neighbor" thing and "needle through the camel's eye easier than a rich man in heaven" thing seem to be incompatible with discriminatory right wing policy or laissez faire capitalism.

Two things: 1) Don't blame the Protestant Work Ethic on Christianity, blame it on Martin Luther. You don't find that nonsense in Catholicism. 2) The Protestant Work Ethic is not the justification for capitalism; instead it's the conditioning that allows Capitalists to exploit the work of others.

>The Protestant Work Ethic is not the justification for capitalism;
It very much is; the fetishization of one needing the work for the sake of society is literally built into the premise of Christianity; Christianity literally commands you to do things in service of abstract things such as "god" and his "kingdom" - protestants just apply the logic to society, with the gods being those own the machines. Communism is another religion, a form of secular humanism, that simply replaces the worship of the owners with the worship of the those work on those machines, as if I'm suppose care about them.

It literally makes you a slave to gods, preachers, priests and their causes - but okay. The problem with liberals like yourself is that you believe that humanity is ultimately something that needs to be saved from itself or redeemed, I say - every may for himself, why I'm to care people who are of no use to me, people who's death will not impact the trajectory of my life? I don't share the anthropocentric views of religious nuts; you're not special to me, you're just a clump of dying cells using whatever philosophical premise you have to cope with the fact you have to die like everything else

Freedom is doing what I want, that means "degeneracy"; I don't really give a damn if those institutions collapse, actually, it sounds like they need to because they're in my way.

Freedom is secured by force, my force, my ability to do the things I want. It is my responsibility, not the responsibility of society. That applies to everyone else.
