	portland imc - 2006.01.01 - On the Theological Foundations of Religious Socialism
		For religious socialism in the tradition of the exodus and the kingdom, the option for the disadvantaged, dominated and belittled and engagement for preserving the conditions for the possibility of life are crucial.
		Religious socialism must be part of an ecumene of compassion, that is of a secular ecumene serving the whole world made habitable again for everyone beyond all confessional, religious and ideological borders.
		Religious socialism must insist on the difference between an historical project and the utopian horizon so the utopian horizon is not fulfilled by an historical project in an anti-utopian way.

		It stands somewhat above folk religion in its social and political status, since by definition it suffuses an entire society, or at least a segment of a society; and is often practised by leader (A person who rules or guides or inspires others) s within that society.
		Religious denominations compete with one another for allegiance in the public square.
		These facts have made public displays of religious piety by political leaders important to a large sector of the population; lacking an established church, they need public assurance of those leaders' religious beliefs.

	On the Theological Foundations of Religious Socialism : SF Bay Area Indymedia
		For a religious socialism on a biblical foundation, tolerance or worship of idols opposes faith in God, not denial of God’s existence.
		A biblically established religious socialism should be oriented in the transcendental dimension of God’s reign.
		Religious socialism must be oriented in God’s reign as the heavenly core of the earthly.

	Ideologies of parties - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many political parties base their political action and programme on an ideology.
		In social studies, a political ideology is a certain ethical, set of ideals, principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of a social movement, institution, class, or large group that explain how society should work, and offer some political and cultural blueprint for a certain social order.
		A political ideology largely concerns itself with how to allocate power and to what ends it should be used.

	Early Swedish Socialism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Socialism and the Labor Unions are inextricably bound in Swedish history and an understanding of Swedish Socialism demands an understanding of the experience of the labor movement.
		Socialism is revolutionary in that it builds society on a new principle- one of brotherhood, solidarity, and progress.
		Social Demokraten stated in early 1886 that the class consciousness and solidarity of the workers during a process of concentration of capital and sharpening class antagonism would bring developments in the direction of Socialization.

	Evergreen Socialism: Can class struggle and Christianity be reconciled? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		However, the moment we apply these to social and historical realities, when they concern the life and death struggles of millions, then we have to be very careful with their application.
		Religious critique, the critique of all medieval, primitive ideology, of fantasies, chimeras, phantasmagorias, dogmas, doctrines, mental slavery and lies, according to Marx, is the very quintessence of all social criticism, of global capitalism.
		A socialism that is not directed towards the permanent annihilation of this capitalist quintessence, is not "new", is not worth the name "evergreen socialism" at all.

	The New Socialism - Socialism with Soul
		If each member of a social group is able to feel the specific inner soul-connection uniting them with each other member of the group, then the social group can come to consciousness of itself as a soul group, and become aware of its own living reality in the soul world.
		The New Socialism is therefore also a religious socialism with its own deep roots – not simply in the history of civilisations, continents, and cultures, races and nations alone – but in the soul relationships, soul families, soul groups and soul communities that are their source in the inner universe of soul.
		To the stick of social stigma, the workhouse and prison for those who refused to work, the bosses added the carrot of permanent employment for the loyal and humble worker, wage differentials for skilled and semi-skilled labour, a mythic social prestige for the ‘kings of labour’ (miners, steelworkers and the like).

	Mises, Socialism, Appendix and Epilogue: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Socialism is a social system based on public control of the means of production and full management of all processes of production and distribution by a planning central authority.
		Socialism, in the sense in which Stalin has lately used the term, is moving towards communism, but is in itself not yet communism.
		Socialism will turn into communism as soon as the increase in wealth to be expected from the operation of the socialist methods of production has raised the lower standard of living of the Russian masses to the higher standard which the distinguished holders of important offices enjoy in present-day Russia.

	Beyond Religious Socialism
		I do not doubt that the basic conceptions of religious socialism are valid, that they point to the political and cultural way of life by which alone Europe can be built up.
		Continuous thinking about the possibility of uniting the religious power of so-called neo-orthodox theology with the duty of every theology to address itself to the contemporary mind has resulted in the conception of a "method of correlation"-- correlation, that is, between existential questions and theological answers.
		In the course of this mediating attempt it became increasingly clear to me that one achievement of so-called liberal theology has to be defended with great religious, ethical and scientific passion; namely, the right and duty of philological-historical criticism of the biblical literature without any condition except integrity of research and scientific honesty.

	The First Christian Fellowship of Eternal Sovereignty
		It is the deeply held religious political philosophy of Atheism, Secular Humanism and Ethicalism (all defined as religions by the United States Supreme Court), yet socialism is not officially recognized as a religion by the United States Government.
		Socialism is a religion and must be defined and understood for what it is. We must call it what it is if we are to understand Socialism's goals.
		Socialism is theft through taxes then given as a benefit to worthy slaves.

	Christian Socialists
		Surely that man or woman is no Christian at all, except in name, in so far as he or she remains indifferent to the awful abyss that yarns between rich and poor; to the insufficiency of the share in our immense wealth which falls to the lot of those who produce it.
		The aim of Socialism is the fulfillment of service, the aim of Individualism is the attainment of some personal advantage, riches, or place of fame.
		The success of Socialism can only be achieved by ensuring that all people see the justice and the beauty of it, and willingly join in building it.

	Sociology of Religion: The change in religion and church in Eastern Germany after 1989: a research note
		Since state intervention in religious life is disappearing to a large extent, and since the offerings in the religious field are increasing and becoming more pluralistic due to the liberalization of the church-state relationship, a revitalization of religion is highly probable.
		He distinguished five religious dimensions: the dimension of religious belief; the dimension of religious experience; the cognitive dimension; the dimension of church-ritual practice; and the dimension of ethical consequences.
		Non-institutional, diffuse, and non-Christian forms of religiousness were often not included in the definition of religion in the studies undertaken in the 1950s and 60s.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Protestantism
		The new form of social and religious order, which is the residue of the great Protestant upheaval in Europe, is territorial or State Religion — an order based on the religious supremacy of the temporal ruler, in contradistinction to the old order in which the temporal ruler took an oath of obedience to the Church.
		From this time forward the progress of Protestantism is on political rather than on religious lines; the people are not clamouring for innovations, but the rulers find their advantage in being supreme bishops, and by force, or cunning, or both impose the yoke of the new Gospel on their subjects.
		Religious education is abundantly provided for clergy and laity; religious practice, morality, and works of charity are flourishing; the Catholic mission-field is world-wide and rich in harvest.

		One surprising exception to this is the second essay, "Protestantism as a Critical and Creative Principle," which is disappointing, partly as compared with his later writing, but especially because, though strong on the "critical," it is weak in exploring the "creative" function of that principle.
		Such a community, which expresses "a unity of power and love, is the socio-ethical ideal of religious socialism" (p.
		Studying utopias, as existing in the past or as anticipated in the future, as produced by revolution or by man's steady progress, as embodied in secular or in religious philosophies, Tillich assesses with rare discrimination what he calls the negative and positive meaning of utopia.

		Religious frontiers after socialism: the cases of Kyrgyzstan and Ajaria
		An important task of the study will be to explore the ties between the state and various religious institutions, in order to understand the complex return of religion to the public sphere after socialism.
		By analyzing how individuals position themselves in relation to 'new' and 'old' religious denominations, this study will also shed light on how religious dynamics relate to the destabilization of both Soviet and Muslim legacies and thus how religious and societal change are interlinked.

		We are interested in exploring multiple facets of the relations between religious change and social change after socialism, for example concerning the presence of religion in the public sphere and in the everyday life and moral deliberations of citizens.
		The aim is to bring together anthropologists and other social scientists who have done extensive research on aspects of religious conversion in the postsocialist world.
		Many social scientists still dwell on the ‘revival’ or ‘renaissance’ of religious traditions after atheism and assume a process of (interrupted) continuity between contemporary religious forms and their pre-socialist referents.

	Buddhism and Marxism in Taiwan: Lin Qiuwu's Religious Socialism and Its Legacy in Modern Times
		From a Marxist perspective, of course, such a conception of religious practice represented a "false consciousness." A Marxist analysis would point out that this mode of Buddhism saw the present human situation as utterly unsalvageable, and thus encouraged a passive acceptance of all the ills of life, including the existence of oppressive social structures.
		Although their religious training may look the same in form (meditation, study, scripture chanting, and so on), the bodhisattva is motivated by impartial, altruistic compassion toward sentient beings.
		The idea of "one buddha" gave him the means to propound the fundamental unity of humanity (as one aspect of the final unity of all phenomena), which he could then oppose to the divisiveness of class structure, which in his terms rested on a foundation of philosophical mistakes.

	THE COPPERHEAD CHRONICLE
		by Al Benson Jr Due to the encroaching religious apostasy in the United States, the years of the 1830's and 40's were notable, in that many experiments in socialist and communal living were instituted.
		AS all socialism eventually does, these efforts failed unless someone from the outside financed them and kept them afloat--much like this country today finances other socialist nations with "foreign aid" to keep them afloat.
		Socialism it seems, had captured the minds of the elite among the elite.

		The paper is sympathetic to the religious socialist writing of both Paul Tillich and Gustavo Gutiérrez.

		Both social theologies remain powerful expressions of the struggle for justice and need exploration for the hope they offer in contexts beyond their own.
