Jesus’s Church: A Political Body
Western theology has always preached that Jesus Christ is going unite humanity and put an end to strife and want. Most preachers, for example, speak beautifully about how the spirit of Christ in you can completely eliminate conflict and create a brotherhood of man. Nobody who calls themselves Christian can disagree. However, religious headmen place […]
The Power To Define
The power to define: the power to direct minds and conditions that will cause specific results in a struggle. The Power to define is as important as the power to control. In fact, the power to define is one of the greatest weapons that can be used to control men and nations. The power to […]
The 2008 Financial Crisis
The financial crisis of 2008 was the logical conclusion of free market development of the financial sector–itself the logical result of the incentives of capitalist competition. In that sense, the economic downturn demonstrates the inherent instability of capitalism itself. The story of the collapse starts and ends in the real estate market. Until a few […]
Heaven: A Social Political Analysis
What does it mean? Where will it be, what will it be and how does it look ? There are many different answers to these questions. But one must consider that many people’s imagination of heaven can be misleading. Some who claim to be religious say no one knows where heaven will be or what […]
God’s Social Genius Baffles Capitalists
Under capitalism, everything is game. Whether human life, labor power, earth, knowledge, ideas, thought or other abstract concepts: if it can be bought, sold, traded, invested in or speculated on, it becomes commodified. Once absorbed by capital circulation each are disciplined to the rigors of value creation. Profit for the sake of profit then becomes […]
Fruits of Globalization: Poverty Wages
On October 2nd, 2016 the World Bank released an estimation that 767 million people live in extreme poverty, subsisting on less than $1.90 a day. Their poverty lines are for 15 of the world’s most dirt poor countries and typically calculate the amount of money that would allow a person to eat enough calories in […]
The Gospel Of Messiah & The Sign Of Discipleship
Badge of discipleship Uncompromising, loyal, educated, fearless, selfless, courageous, faithful, loving and broken into his calling. Enemies to the enemies of life. Being altogether with the word of God armed and dangerous. In short, hardened revolutionaries. These are the first students of Jesus Christ. For nearly 4 years they learned and collaborated with the master […]
Moses: The Enemy Of The State!
Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels bear witness in the Communist Manifesto that “the history of hitherto all existing societies is the history of class struggles.” The bible tells us the same thing, before and after the flood. Of freeman and slave. Partisan and plebeian. Of lord and surf. Guild master and journeyman. In short, oppressor […]
In with the Rich, Out with the Poor
It sounds so innocuous, so beneficial: “revitalization.” Who wouldn’t want their neighborhood to have better stores and public facilities, less crime, high property values? Renters, that’s who–and low-income homeowners who can’t afford high property taxes, and anyone the police will target when they step up patrols to protect the new arrivals. As wealthy people buy […]
The Apostles and Colonialism
The spearhead of the Roman Empire’s expansion was amazingly efficient. It was both militarily and economically based, devoid of justice and morally bankrupt, both powerful and lustful. And as a society basking in these virtues, her hungry eyes were set upon other nations and peoples one after another; to devour them. The Roman military complex […]

Did Jesus Have Revolutionary Political Aims?
The political criticism against the ruling class and the movement started by Jesus of Nazareth 2,000 years ago was no doubt revolutionary in character. According to the Bible Jesus realized that his activity would lead him and his followers to the death penalty. The question is, was Jesus put to death by the ruling class […]
Jesus’ Indictment Against The Capitalist
In the book of Revelation chapter 13 John sees a second beast come up out of the earth. We learn that this second beast exercised all the power of the first beast, or empire, that proceeded it. This beast which came first is what the bible describes as the Roman empire. And truly in history […]
Racism: A Feature Of Capitalism
Racism as it exists today is not a modern creation. Its theory and practice in society is also a feature found back in feudal Europe. It goes back further still. However the principles are the same and it remains, as it was then, a controlling mechanism of the ruling class; a barrier to the redemptive […]
The Real Fight Behind the Fight for $15
You come home after another long day of standing on your feet and attempting to keep your customer service smile in the midst of ignorance and chaos. You kick off your shoes and gratefully sink into your bed nestled in the corner of your studio apartment. As you contemplate skipping dinner due to your abysmal […]
A Sure Bet: Unemployment and Homelessness
Is there anything worse than prison? There must be–some people try to get into prison to survive the winter. On the market, human beings can depreciate like any commodity. The laws of supply and demand apply to labor too: the more workers available, the cheaper employers can get them. An unemployed population serves the dual […]
Capitalism is Heading for Catastrophe
However stable things may seem in some parts of the world, we’re entering a new era of crisis and uncertainty. Capitalism has never been as pervasive as it is now. The previous generation experienced alienation, suffering from the dissonance between their roles in production and their sense of themselves; the current generation is characterized by […]
