I'm not sure what of his work you see as being a dislike for socialism, in the same way that Christ's teaching was socialist which is why so many in the church today shy away from his teaching in favour of something that is easier on the ear of the selfish.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostHe wasn't all that keen on the control of the church, true and that idea of controlling people extended to his views on slavery and oppression of the poor. He was not a fan of the class warfare brought about by the wealthy ruling classes, and much of his work is about love, not hate, of freedom, not fear.

do you see the EU as socialist?
If the main actions of the EU were to encourage big businesses and aristocrats to pay little to no tax while penalising everyone else, or stirring up fear as a way to subjugate, then I'd say no.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by WTFH View PostIn some ways yes - the four freedoms, the assistance of those in need (e.g. Cornwall, Wales, farmers, etc), the attempts to allow different people/nations to work together rather than against each other, yes those are socialist activities.
