A neglected Republic an the virtue it requires leads to a Democracy and democracies lead to Socialism according to Karl Marx. Socialism is the religion you get when your religion is not Pure Religion.

In political science, statism is the belief that the state should control either economic or social policy, or both, to some degree. Statism is effectively the opposite of anarchism. An individual who supports very limited intervention by the state is a minarchist.

Statism is a political system in which the state has substantial centralized control over social and economic affairs and responsibilities that use to be in the hands of the individual. It was the individual who was endowed by God with the original power of choice. In political science, Statism is the belief that the state should control either economic or social policy, or both, to some degree more than a minarchist.

Statism is effectively the opposite of anarchism.

An individual or person who supports the existence of the state is a statist.

The term "statism" was introduced to American political vocabulary by the writer Ayn Rand in 1962. We see the rise of Statism in history with Cain and Nimrod and it is the antithesis of a pure Republics where the leaders are titular.

A Viable republic requires a virtuous people.

When the people do not want to e ruled by God in their hearts and in their minds they reject Him and the voice of the people choose men to rule over them. Those men always end up taking and taking more than they give. The rise of the powers of statism are found in the covetous Roots of the Welfare State.

We should not confuse a pure Republic with an indirect democracy nor even a constitutional Republic unless all five attributes of a pure republic are included in the constitution of that Republic.

A neglected Republic an the virtue it requires leads to a Democracy and democracies lead to Socialism according to Karl Marx. Socialism is the religion you get when your religion is not Pure Religion.

The United States is a federal democracy within a Republic that was created by the states to guarantee a Republican form for the States. The people were not a party to the the indirect democracy called the United States nor were the people of the states a party to the creation of the United States. They were citizens of the individual States.

Americans have moved from a virtuous self reliant republic to covetous “democracy in a republic.”[1] This process is done more by contract, application, and participation than by vote.

The people have become a nation of consumers, who willing bite their neighbor for their own personal security. People have fallen in love with the benefits offered by democracy. But at what price?

They have become a surety for debt, literally they are nothing more than merchandise, who readily curse their children with that debt for their own comfort and social security through Covetous Practices.

James Madison, 1787, stated in the Federalist Paper #10 that “Democracy is the most vile form of government ... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention: have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” Fisher Ames, an author of the First Amendment, said, “A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way.” In 1815 John Adams: “Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either [aristocracy or monarchy]. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.”

John Marshall, longest serving Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, “Between a balanced Republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.” Even Alexander Hamilton said “Real Liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy.” Benjamin Franklin warned emphatically that “When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” He understood that a “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!”

Long before these men voiced their objections Plato postulated “Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy...” And long after Adams, Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Democracy is morose, and runs to anarchy.” Winston Churchill wrote that: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” He went on to say that “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

More recently historian and Congressman Ron Paul said “Our country’s founders cherished liberty, not democracy.” I did find that Karl Marx, who was an advocate of communism, claimed “Democracy is the road to socialism.”

“It is difficult to understand, how any one who has read the proceedings of the Federal Convention can believe that it was the intention of that body to establish a democratic government.”[2]

“Accustomed to trampling on the rights of others you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.”[3]

“Under a democratic government, the citizens exercise the powers of sovereignty; and those powers will be first abused, and afterwards lost, if they are committed to an unwieldy multitude.”[4]

“Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment]:” Exodus 23:2

“A simple democracy is the devil’s own government.”[5]

The people, if they wish to be part of a free society, need to attend to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.
