I hear the right wing fundies are keyed up over the relese of
C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

I wonder, do any of these fudies know that C.S. Lewis was an avowved socailist?

1. I like CS Lewis
I didn't know he was a socialist, but I did read in his book "Mere Christianity" that the economic system under a true Christian form of society would stress cooperation and charity and shared benefits over competition and greed and class division. No silly luxuries or advertisements to buy them. Everyone would have to work with their own hands to produce useful things that are good, no one would exploit the work of another.

3. Amish, Bruderhofs...
and Shakers have tried it, amongst some others.

It's an Anabaptist sort of thing, this experimenting with true Christian communities, and some have been quite successful.
