It can be said in brief that socialism is Judeo-Christianity devoid of God. Take the King James Bible and remove all references to God, then re-imagine it with mankind at the center.
It immediately means that The Bible becomes a “pragmatic work”, that can be corrupted as the writer sees fit. Stories and parables turned on their heads, with morals removed or reversed.
One of the more literate efforts to do this was by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882). And Emerson ran with it. You can see in his works extreme corruptions of The Bible, as well as environmental extremism still seen today.
He was profoundly anti-civilization and saw a need to restore nature by eliminating vast numbers of people, reducing mankind to living as they did in early colonial days, in isolated villages in borderline starvation, with their itinerant “masters”, that he called “Orphic Poets”, going around from settlement to settlement, *preventing* technological development.
