A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people." Does this sound exactly like what the government is doing right now? This is the definition of communism from the American Heritage Dictionary. If this is the direction of the country, I hope we're prepared for a significant change in lifestyle.

Until the end of World War II, Americans were proud of what the word "American" stood for. We fought a lot of battles, fighting tyrants and defending freedom. We fought and died for a principle we understood and held dear: democracy.
After World War II, somehow we lost sight of what our country stood for. We took up arms against communism, which, by definition, is an economic system, not a political system. We fought communism in Korea; that nation remains divided with a form of communism ruling the northern half of it. We fought in Vietnam, withdrew, and the communists ultimately won.

The term 'neoliberalism' has since around 1980 become a quite widely used exhortation in some political and academic debates. Prolific employment of a term does not signify, however, that it is clearly defined. In this article it is suggested that while the concept itself has become an imprecise buzzword in much of the literature, it might still be given a more precise definition. If this is done, then the term could become a useful analytical device in order to describe some recent trends in economic thought and political theory, even if it would be an obvious overstatement to say that we live in a neoliberal age or a neoliberal world.

It is interesting what people believe, and will accept as a Religion. The Sociological definition is defined as follows: Religion is any set of coherent answers to the dilemmas of human existence that makes the world eaningful. Civilized man has to have some kinds of beliefs to hold a society together. Does this sound like what is taught in today's churches? Religion is a social institution that carries out important functions and gives meaning to those things not readily explaining the meaning of life. Religion also gives credence to a Societies moral, life and tries to explain the difference between good and evil.

[...] there is nothing astonishing about Spinozism's radical anti-finalism finding a voice in the margins of post-structuralism, post-modernism, post-Freudianism, or postMarxism, all of which characterize themselves (sometimes in prophetic tones) as modes of the thought of the end and of the after-the-end.
