New article in The Bias
Take a look!
Wanted to flag this for readers — I have a new article in the first issue of The Bias, a new magazine published by the Institute for Christian Socialism.
Socialists often talk about the fall of capitalism in a way that’s very similar to the way that the early Church talked about the return of Christ, assuming that it was in the near future. And when Christ didn’t return, this didn’t just become a problem for the credibility of the Church; it also became a problem for Christians, who had built their lives around a false hope.
We should take a lesson from this. If we look at history, there is in fact good reason to believe that capitalism isn’t likely to fall anytime soon. And this means that even though some socialists decry the supposed pessimism of “doomers,” we would be much better off talking realistically about what the politics of the near future are going to look like. If we don’t, it will hurt our credibility, and it will also make it more difficult to be a socialist.
The Bias is a print publication but digital editions are also available. For more information check out their website here!
