But the end, the coming of Christ, the eschaton Is not yet.

And until then, I will seek to bring it about as my Lord willed I do.

I will immanentize the eschaton.

To do otherwise is to reject all Christ is.

And that’s why I hate the phrase.

[TED @derleth_ted]

I hate this phrase.

It came about as a critique of Marxism through a historical-religious lens.

In short, historians recognized a vaguely “socialist” impulse in a number of medieval and reformation movements. They concluded these culturally inspired communism.

[David Harsanyi @davidharsanyi]

don't immanentize the eschaton.

[TED @derleth_ted]

We made “Immanentize the Eschaton” a fool’s game precisely during the waning of Christian culture.

And when many declared the End of History - the eschaton immanentized.

Or decided “conserving” was a political goal - as though some eschaton was already achieved.

@JoelWBerry This sounds profound only to the historically illiterate.

“I’m not capitalist.” — Jack Poso

This is a good time to reiterate: “Capitalism” is not a system.

Capitalism is just freedom. That’s all it is. It’s property rights.

It doesn’t worship capital, it doesn’t make money the ultimate good. It allows for reasonable laws and regulations. It’s ordered. But at its core, it’s just freedom.

I don’t want moral busybodies—be they libtard or tradcath—telling me what to do with my time and money. Screw them. This is America. And TPUSA desperately needs to take out the garbage.

Though let me be clear on my own position.

Franco was a hero and resides in the heavenly sphere of Mars awaiting the Day wherein he will, with the host of Pelayo's Sons, call down the purifying fire of God upon all La Hispanidad, preparing her as a bride for her Christ.

[TED @derleth_ted]

So aside from signaling anti-Catholicism, I'm unsure why Franco hate is a hill these guys will die on.

After '53, Francoist Spain was a member of US led anti-soviet strategy. Eisenhower and Nixon contracted a close alliance.

The other three were openly anti-US.

Franco wasn't.

[TED @derleth_ted]

The current Spanish leaders, communist and anti-US in general, actively seek to bury and vilify Franco.

It would be a realist posture to NOT agree with them on the history of Franco. You need not lionize him, but omitting him from lists of the most evil men would be useful.

[Matthan Lewis @Cathophilia]

What's important here is also that, if the government doesn't have the power to do good, then it also can't have the power to keep others from doing evil. These aren't independent functions.

[Adrian Vermeule @Vermeullarmine]

This is an amazing passage:

[TED @derleth_ted]

@MadocCairns A CG is not constituted by and in its sharing.

Well, I’d be open to saying God is such, but that’s a whole sui generis thing and would get pushback.

But otherwise, a CG is that which can be participated in - it, and its communicability, is prior to the sharing.
