One billion.one trillion,and everything in between what difference does it really make? There's perhaps a dimes worth of difference but thats about it.The reason that there is any argument about it at all has little to do with the likes of most of us,who will be bound and used by either political party. The reason for the bitter vitriol that never leads to any basically different action or policy is that there is a different group of elites who will own us.Both Marxists and Socialists have the same unltimate objective. Control of the "one world" they are seeking to design.
Unless there is divine intervention it is only a matter of time and it utterly amazes me that either people don't know it or they are ignoring it,hoping that it will all go away and people will not have to change their way of living,morally and materially. This division crosses over and effects every religion,including secular humanism,and almost every nation. It was to prevent thid that Christ came and ommanded His Apostles to teach all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father,Son and Holy Ghost.When some enlightened folks decided He meant follow your conscience and your heart,they derailed His plsn.
So what is your point? I agree there's not a dime's worth of difference between socialists and marxists--but why address such a remark to me? I also agree that there's a push on the left for one-world, which is why liberals love the World Court and the UN. In this regard, have you noticed how this liberal Pope has consistently backed the UN--just as he backs a homogenized Catholicism that absorbs Protestant theologies and ignores doctrinal differences for the sake of a one-world religion?
