He saw it coming…
R.J. Rushdoony saw this coming many years ago, and did his best to warn us.
“When economics becomes a branch of politics, it ceases to be economics and becomes messianic. It becomes the instrument of power whereby men play god and plan to use human beings as their raw material.” Larceny in the Heart [2003 reprint]
He could have said more. Politics devours science, too (does it ever!); and “education,” and even reaches into our personal lives.
We are rushing toward a point where it might be impossible to shake ourselves loose from Far Left, messianic, dystopian schemes of government. It’s not enough to work and fight to keep our freedom.
We need to pray for it, too.
