It’s interesting how anti capitalist atheists recognize the spontaneous order in nature as evidence that God is not needed, yet they reject the spontaneous order of a free market in favor of central planning.
The atheist authoritarians fail to address one indisputable reality throughout human history: human government has ALWAYS tended to abuse humanity, and the great progress made towards justice in this world has come not from government but in spite of it.
In the Bible, in Samuel, when the people of Israel asked Samuel to anoint them a king, the Lord had Samuel rebuke them for rejecting God's own kingship over them.
The Athenian experiment in democracy first degenerated into corrupt hegemony among the Greek city states and then collapsed altogether.
The Roman Republic was ultimately destroyed by corrupt men more interested in personality wealth and power than lifting up the Roman people.
The French Republic was undone by the Jacobins and their zealous insanity in reordering French society.
Socialist movements in Germany, Italy, and Russia produced the evils of Hitler, Mussolini, and Lenin and Stalin.
Sun Yat Sen's efforts to end imperial Chinese government and create a democracy in China degenerated into the warring states period of the corrupt Kuomindang, which eventually gave way to China's latest imperial dynasty, the Chinese Communist Party.
History has proven time and again that human government is never the solution. It is always the problem.
