I think religion works well with social welfare


CheLeung

Like communitarianism, christian democracy, Islamic democracy? The KMT doesn't have an official religion but Confucianism is generally the guiding philosophy because Chiang is a Confucian. They are also more pro spending than the DPP but marginally.

The problem with atheistic socialism is everyone sees everything in a material lens as Marx puts it. People will not use it wisely. Religious charity existed a long time ago.


CheLeung

So you want socialism with religion?


andyh120d

I think the Left wing should adopt it to better their democracy or make the government more diverse on thought


CheLeung

Technically I have seen it but it's not a stable coalition or the leader is ideologically heterodox


andyh120d

The leaders should follow religion and be secular like Dr Sun Yat Sen. He looked up to the Taiping rebels


CheLeung

We had a KMT member say he had a dream that Sun Yat-sen is a god and wanted the party to make him the Patron God lol Dr. Sun was also a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fan

What exactly does "left wing KMT" mean? These with pro-CCP attitude? Or these with liberal attitutes (as in Taiwan or Western political sense, like liberals in the US?)


andyh120d

Yes like US left


SE_to_NW

OK, good. Historically there was the "KMT left" which became today's RCCK
