@emelie I am not sure about this Narnia remake

I will say that my brother seems to have a strange knack for visiting cities just close enough in time to a major disaster to have a perfect alibi.

So if you don't want a disaster to strike the very nice city you have here, he is clearly the man to hire.

<< The (DARPA-funded) Stanford Research Institute made this image in 1970 to show what might result from actions taken in the next decade. Environmentalism likely leads to "exuberant democracy," "satisfied plenty." Econ failure leads to "1984," "authoritarian recession," "collapse." >>

@epicmorphism You could say that collective ownership is not *solely* Christian, certainly, but you can't really say that collective ownership is *not* Christian, because it's literally what Jesus of Nazareth taught and what the first few generations of his movement lived.

I think it's fair to say that the first Christians were small-c communists. Obviously not Big-C Marx-Engels-Lenin "Communism (TM)" ists

but they were communitarians, commune-dwellers, common-holders, call it what one will.

@epicmorphism but I mean, the Book of James wouldn't be out of place at an Occupy Wall Street rally

@epicmorphism Marx, Engels and Lenin came a few thousand years late to the party, and decided that they had invented the idea of "holding all goods in common".

Not the first time that this has happened in European history, sadly.

(Actually-existing Christian and Jewish, and probably Islamic, history, is a constant tension between communist and property-owning factions. The various monastic orders that popped up every few centuries kept resurfacing the idea of collective ownership though.)

<<Simply said, the earliest Christians were communists (as Acts tells us of the church in Jerusalem, and as Paul’s epistles occasionally reveal), not as an accident of history but as an imperative of the faith. .. a Christian is allowed to long and hope ultimately for no other society than one that is truly communist and anarchist, in the very special way in which the early church was both at once. >>
