Four points about Christianity, Liberal democracy, and Social Mobility

1. “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over th birds o the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female created them.”

If men are made in the image of God then men should be good. According to Christianity, God is good.

2. From The End of History and the Last Man by Francis Fukuyama Page 143.

“What is at stake for people around the world, from Spain and Argentina to Hungary and Poland, when they throw off dictatorship and establish liberal democracy? To some extent, the answer is a purely negative one based on the mistakes and injustices of the preceding political order; they want to get rid of the hated colonels or party bosses who oppressed them, or to live without fear of arbitrary arrest.”

If what is at stake during transition from dictatorship to liberal democracy is oppression and freedom from arbitrary arrest then liberal democracy is good. If liberal democracy is good then it is like Christianity. Therefore, according to the political theory, men of liberal democracy are good. Therefore, it is superior. Therefore, it should exist.

3. The End of History and The Last Man by Francis Fukuyama Page 199.

“For Hegel, the French Revolution was the event that took the Christian vision of a free and equal society, and implemented it here on earth. In making this revolution the former slaves risked their lives, and in doing so proved that they had overcome the very fear of death that had served originally to define them as slaves. The principles of liberty and equality were then carried to the rest of Europe by Napoleon’s victorious armies.”

If the French Revolution was the event that took the Christian vision of a free and equal society, that is, if it made a “utopia” on earth, then it is perfect. If liberal democracy and capitalism are perfect then there should be no suffering. However, there is, therefore, it is not perfect. Therefore, the Christian vision of a free and equal society does not exist on earth. If in making this revolution the former slaves risked their lives then there were slaves. If there were slaves then in liberal democracy and capitalism they are no longer slaves. However, there is suffering, for example crime and psychological torture, therefore there is still slavery. So, the result was no change. Therefore, the men of liberal democracy are not good. Therefore, they do not deserve to exist.


4. With reference to social mobility and degeneracy, because liberal democracy was originally not very moral and prone to corruption then social mobility will only result in more degeneracy. However, this will not necessarily result in a revolution because if people who commit crimes get into power, like Barack Obama, then there will be only more corruption. The corruption is legitimate because it is allowed by law or is the law, and The Communist Party is banned. Therefore, only rightness will come about by the unban of The Communist Party or by another group externally forming it here. Barack Obama and his group, his employees etc. are not good people and their lives are in contradiction with what their society was supposed to be. They are failures. Therefore, they do not deserve to exist.
