Generosity isn't socialism. You can pervert it and twist it, but it simply isn't.
Socialism is a framework disguised as generosity, which is the MO for basically all of the stuff we are wasting money in. E.g. we import "refugees" who are trying to "escape" because we are "helping them".
The reason why they often disguise most of their agendas in a shroud of generosity and good will is because people will readily eat it up and defend the cause, because everyone advocating against being nice is vilified as someone who is heartless, doesn't want to help people, xenophobic, etc.
You are correct generosity is not the same as modern socialism.
But it's also not the same as the socialism of 150 plus years ago.at that time before their were any socialist govt programs. Christians helped each other out on a much greater scale than today. And people didn't have the luxury of100 plus years to evaluate it. That we do today. Nowadays only an idiot would be a socialist.
I'm not a socalist,but if you knocked on my door starving I would feed you.
That's the very basics of chistanity.
