Neo-Marxist Progressivism has taken root in politics, the media, education and popular culture.

When capitalism is corrupted socialism becomes more attractive. Today many young people in western countries are much more open to socialism (especially when the promise of student debt in thrown into the mix).  Guaranteed health care , livable wages . housing  , food and whatever other needs people may have sounds very appealing. But ultimately  this is a seduction that no socialistic system of government has ever been able to completely deliver.  

This podcast highlights 3 corrupting influences on capitalism. Plutocracy , the debt economy , and consumerism are highlighted. Finally, there are good  choices that individuals  and  families  can make to create their own economic well being to overcome these corrupting influences.  

Victimism is a scourge in our culture whereby individuals and groups claim victimhood to gain power, control or to perpetuate deviant behavior. Our world is full of victims who live by the SEF moto. SEF  is Somebody Else's Fault . As long as the ills in society and in our personal lives are someone else's fault there is no need or urgency to change. There is, however, a better way. 

Elitism is a mindset of a group of people who by virtue of their social standing believe they  are supremely qualified to run the lives of those beneath them.  Being from a certain family , education, wealth, positions of power and influence are seen as qualifiers to this social standing.  These qualifiers do not necessarily make one an elitist. Elitism is a character flaw. The cure for elitism is genuine servant leadership. 

The dignity of humanity is directly related to our origin.  Origin is ultimately a faith position. It cannot be historically or scientifically verified. It is a presupposition that will inform one's understanding of the nature and purpose of humanity. The only question is what faith position is more feasible.
