In this Jubilee Year 2016, Pope Francis affirmed communism as the best structure for humankind and the European Union. He did so upon receiving the Charlemagne Prize last week and made a speech that included the following comment: We need to move from a liquid economy prepared to use corruption as a means of obtaining profits, to a social economy that guarantees access to land and lodging through labor.
Read that quote carefully. What is he proposing here?
He wants to move from a liquid economy
what does that mean? My only guess is that he wants the economy to be less fluid
more controlled. He then seems to imply that making profits (creating wealth, you know, the stuff that enables him to sit on his golden thrones in his massive militarized compound) is in some way corrupt. He then wants to move to a social economy, which I presume means socialism/communism. And through that he wants to guarantee access to land and lodging through labor.
You know who else received guaranteed access to lodging through labor? African slaves in the 1800s.
For this Pope it seems a kind of slavery is best suited to the human condition. Everyone is entitled to the essentials and not much more. And in return, everyone labors.
In actual fact, your average American today is essentially a free-range slave. Most data showing the average Americans expenditures show that nearly half of their income goes towards paying the plantation owner (the government), and then the rest goes to pay for lodging (rent or mortgage and they dont actually own the house even if paid off as they have to pay the plantation every year to live in it, called property tax), then food, then medical care (in order to keep them working), then transportation (which is mostly used to get to and back from their workplace). After that, it is estimated, that your average American has less than 10% left for themselves.
The Pope, apparently, would like to see that 10% done away with and just supply housing and bare necessities to the slaves
sorry, citizens.........
