The control of less-developed countries by first-world countries through indirect means: Investments and soft power.

The solidarity which binds all [people] together as members of a common

family makes it impossible for

wealthy nations to look with indifference upon the hunger,

misery and poverty of other nations whose citizens are unable to enjoy even elementary human rights...it will not be

possible to preserve a lasting peace so

long as glaring economic and social imbalances persist.

You are not making a gift of what is yours to the [poor], but you are giving [them] back what is [theirs]. You have been appropriating things that are meant to be for the common use of everyone. The earth belongs to everyone, not to the rich.

The Tribes of Yahweh: A Sociology of Religion of

Liberated Israel Norman K. Gottwald

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. …God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and…it was distributed to anyone who had need.

—Acts 4: 32-35

All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.

—Acts 2: 44-45

[Religion] is the opium of the people. —Karl Marx

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed…

freedom reimagined

In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business.

And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money- changers and overturned their tables.

“Take these things away; you shall not make my Father’s house a house of trade.”
