The Christian Socialist Party
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
The C.S.P. is a political party in Right to Life, founded on 28th March 2018 and established to spread Christ’s message of equality for all people. We believe that all people have an undeniable human dignity which demands respect. This human dignity calls for every person to be guaranteed equal opportunity to carry out the plan God set out for them. In order to carry out this plan in their lives, they must have access to fundamental cares such as universal health provision, affordable housing, and a free comprehensive education.
We believe that the Earth belongs to all, not just the elite few, who have exploited their fellow brothers and sisters for profit. With this ill-gotten wealth, the elite have secured the oppression of the masses around the world, in order to prevent fair redistribution of their hoards. This has led to entire societies being left in perpetual, inescapable poverty while others wallow in extravagant wealth. To correct this gross injustice, we call for the reallocation of global wealth to allow all of God’s people have equal chance in fulfillment of His plan for their lives, instead of being downtrodden by the avarice of the greedy few.
In modern society, we have seen the growth of a consumerist society and individualist mindset dominate the develop world, self-absorbed turning their back on those who need help. Instead of trying to improve the lives of others, society now cares only about personal aggrandisement. An abandonment of traditional Christian teaching has birthed a materialistic society focused on the procurement of Earthly treasure. The CSP aims to reverse this trend and work towards a society where the common good is put at the forefront of civilization, where attaining financial wealth is not seen as the purpose of life, and where the standard of living is enough to sustain human dignity and security in all of its needs.
All of this is done in the name and teachings of Christ, who demanded that we help all those in need of it:
Matthew 25:35-40 English Standard Version (ESV):
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
The Christian Socialist Party is a multi-denominational political party of Christians who share the common belief in Jesus Christ and a concern for all peoples of the world, including those who are not able to afford the riches of the world due to selfishness, greed, corruption and contempt for human life and dignity fostered by the rampancy of unfettered capitalism.
