If Acts Happened Today, Would We Call It Communism?
For many, "communism" has become less a political philosophy and more a conversation stopper. But is every effort to use our shared resources to care for the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable really communism? This article examines the difference between political labels and biblical principles, comparing the teachings of the early Church with today's political rhetoric. -
A lovely read, beautifully written, reminding us that “the European Web… conquered the world because it was offered as a common good instead of seeking short-term profits.” 🙂
Redefining ‘success’ as contributing to the commons (copyleft) as opposed to privatising:
“Some are proud because they made a lot of money while cutting down a forest. Others are proud because they are planting trees that will produce the oxygen breathed by their grandchildren. What if success was not privatizing resources but instead contributing to the commons, to make it each day better, richer, stronger?“The choice is ours. We simply need to choose whom we admire. Whom we want to recognize as successful. Whom we aspire to be when we grow up. We need to sing the praises of our true heroes: those who contribute to our commons.”
🙏🏻 so much, for writing this, for sharing it 😁#copyleft #Commons #commonGood #success #redefiningSuccess #EuropeanWeb #trueHeroes #contributors #reconnectingConsequencesToCauses
