Re: The poor are not getting poorer


Socialism to some degree will ensure you live and suffer minimally.
Conservatism just wants you to die a slow painful death without
causing too much commotion.


The fundamental error of socialism is anthropological in nature. Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socio-economic mechanism. Socialism likewise maintains that the good of the individual can be realized without reference to his free choice, to the unique and exclusive responsibility which he exercises in the face of good or evil. Man is reduced to a series of social relationships, and the concept of the person as the autonomous subject of moral decisions disappears.  - Pope John Paul II, Centesimus Annus
