"Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon." - Winston Churchill
Private enterprise is the outworking of multiple people exercising their right to do as each one wants with what one has earned or acquired lawfully and honestly, all without coercion. As soon as coercion enters, liberty diminishes until eventually; nothing is left but brute coercion.
That is the goal of the modern super-state - the grossest forms of coercion and oppression to achieve "equity, fraternity, liberty." All it produces is oppression, destruction and misery for the maximum number of people.
When God commanded "Thou shalt not steal" He empowered and blessed the ownership of private property. Progressivism is the attempt to make Man Holier than God by redistributing private property as if the concept of private rights to property did not exist. Man fails miserably and totally in the attempt, and instead oppresses his fellow man - all, ironically - in the name of "fairness". How tragic. How wilfully wrong!
All this is a fruit of rebellion against God's order. If we won't live under God's authority willingly, we will live under the oppression of our fellow man unwillingly. Man's state, by the way, is far less merciful and caring than the true and living God. Imagine life under the Third Reich. Paradise or Hell?
Truly He said: "All they who hate Me, love death."
