Most interesting. Great job, Mr. Doone!

Thank you. It is still not a fully fleshed out system, more work needed.

"It rejects the materialist and atheistic systems of the US and the USSR and instead seeks a more Christian, more religious, more traditionally-minded system of economics to benefit the workers and the poor in true Christian fashion."

Bringing religious dogma into economics is a big mistake.

Do you think Bolshevism and Americanism are not religious? They are. It is a question of which religion you want to influence economics.

I thought I made myself clear: 'Bringing religious dogma into economics is a big mistake.' That is all inclusive!

I reject your mechanical, atheistic, soulless bean counting.

Oh, no! I am devastated.

“Nationalized without compensation” is theft!

You say, “eonomics to benefit the workers and the poor in true Christian fashion.” First off, theft is not very Christian! The ends never justify theft and control. Violating some individuals to give to others is not consistent with love and care!

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's" - God gave rulers the power and authority to execute with the death penalty, and therefore also the power over economic matters. If the state adopts land or resources for the benefit of the collective, that is not theft. Do you think the massive corps who ruin our waters should receive compensation? I dont. Water is not a private resource but a commonly owned asset of the entire tribe.

This old argument and mindset assumes many ideas. Your so called god-given rulers are allowing corps to do what they do!
