Utopian Socialism This Is the Journal

Its Scripture-based tradition holds that a man cannot serve God and wealth at the same time. It strikes a fair balance between present abundance and need. All nationalities and origins become one in Christ Jesus. All believers would sell their possessions and goods for distribution to all according to need (Wienk).

On Socialist Political Parties

These parties struggle to maintain the socialist ideal and apply it in national life (Wienk 2011). Most of them are democratic, multi-tendency organizations with visible structures and accessible practices. They are thus consistent with the objectives and ideal of Christian socialism. Many of their members call themselves Christians. An example is the Socialist Party USA, which aims at establishing democracy that endeavors to place people's lives under their own control. Taking this vein, that democracy is where people can own and control the means of production and distribution through a democratically controlled system. It provides full employment to those who are willing and capable.Workers can organize themselves into free unions with full rights and responsibilities. Production is used to benefit all people and not confined to a few private entities to profit from. Parties, which pursue these and fight for progressive changes are compatible with the concept of a socialist future. They also strive for "democratic revolutions" to wrestle power from a few who control wealth and the government by means of radical and fundamental changes in the structure and quality of the economy (Wienk).
