Marx and Moody: Revolution or Redemption?

Let me ask you, many young people here in the U.S., and I think globally, the 20-somethings you're talking about, or 30-somethings, it's always this thing, like I mentioned, it sounds good on paper, you know, having some... form of equality that the lows aren't so low and the highs aren't so high economically that we all share in the bounty of a nation, et cetera.

Very lofty sounding.

But in the end, it's never worked.

And I heard someone say it this way, the difficulty with communism or socialism is you literally have to run it perfectly.

The people at the top have to be perfect human beings

because

they've got to lay down control and comforts.

Whereas capitalism can work imperfectly.

It floats the most boats.

It does the most to raise everyone up.

There are going to be winners and losers, but that's part of it.

Then what do we do to take care of the lowest part of those that are suffering? It all has to do

with human nature.

And when we talk about Moody, we'll talk about human nature.

D.L. Moody.

Regarding socialism, the dream is free.

The bill...

And the cost is billed later.

Yeah,

yeah.

So wouldn't it be wonderful if we had all the list of freedom of health care, free this, free that, free that.

It's not free.

But notice this about socialists and see if I'm right.

They always talk about how to divide the wealth.

They never talk about how to earn it.
