Religious Conservatives Critical of Capitalism

Christians may be supportive of a capitalist political philosophy or not as they prefer. Capitalism isn’t a religion unless one becomes devoted to it sufficiently to make it an object of worship. Neither is capitalism a monistic economic point of view. 

 There is a pluralist universe for capitalist criteria. Capitalism may be a surfeit of treasure in heaven thought of as good works, adherence to the will of God or following the examples of the apostles. Capitalism is a kind of abstract term such as an algebraic literal that may be given a particular value.  Capitalism may be of an intellectual kind, and it would be practical to re-found the U.S. economy upon a renewable energy and materials basis of intellectual capitalism within moral, democratic criteria.

A democracy may fairly define what it wants to use as the basis of its monetary currency-we could trade in credits of intellectual capital if the voters preferred and allow material investments by the government solely to stimulate renewable energy projects and infrastructure allowing fossil fuel corporations to fend for themselves for stimulation when they need it.  Political philosophy for Christians that are Americans need not be to blindly accept anachronistic doctrine about what the basis of currency or what capital values ought to be. They can change as they prefer.

If in Washington D.C. an elite council of homosexuals or homosymps have voted to corrupt the District of Columbia and throw the Congressional acquiescence in the doom of national support for mass perversion it is demonstrative of the extremes that elites go to in support of their own interests against those of the people. Christians never need blindly follow the lead of then powerful and corrupt but may instead work within the democratic constitutional inheritance of the nation to rectify the wicked and guide the people toward a national prosperity rather than a global commune of trans-national corporatism. 

 Christians are led to work within the government form they have inherited yet be exemplary good souls working within the will of God to keep mankind free even when man so often works for their own social destruction. It is possible and desirable for the United States to transition in to being a nationalistically centered secure society of zero-population growth, zero illegal immigration and a new economy founded on ecological economic principles. The limits to environmental degradation for a primitive or classic economic throughput must halt and a quality and intellect increase of social capital should start. 

 Corporatism works against democratic and national interests. It has discovered that a mass Chinese work force is a good tactically controlled sector for sales and employment without meaningful individual rights or paradoxically the opportunity to start trade unions or policy in opposition to the communist Party. In effect corporatism is a half of elite leaders concentrating wealth and making the trans-national political-economic environment a kind of planetary commune paired with the communist party. The tactical blunder requires the continuing downward mobility of national America and the corruption of the nation. 

 A false spring of non-renewable economic policy is being supported by the present U.S. Obama administration instead of investments in just national renewable energy and transportation infrastructure. Fossil fuels and automobiles are the way to national  decay today.  So far as Christians involve themselves with economic affairs-as they all must except for the detached hierarchical priesthood that earns a living by setting up Christians for support by global corporate C.E.O. preferences-they can work toward ecological and nationally beneficial policy that will serve as a good example to the rest of the world.  If the United States fails at being an ecologically economic policy founded nation with secure borders and quality lives for all citizens it will perhaps alternatively continue to retard global response to the global warming and mass extinction die-offs of an anthropogenic causation. Christians should work for the good of mankind material as well as spiritually rather than the opposite. One way to change that is to redefine the selection of the philosophical value of capital in America today, and make it intellectual rather that corporate.
