Egalitarianism

Joni in RussiaBack in the 1980s, Ken and I visited what was then, the Soviet Union, including other communist countries in Eastern Europe. Everywhere we went, communist officials tried to tell us they had a classless society. They were all about social equality. Yet for all their politically correct language; these egalitarians didn’t know anything about treating people equally. We saw this in the way they treated their disabled. Actually, they wouldn’t even admit they had disabled people in their countries. People with disabilities didn’t fit into their ideology. Well, the book of James says, “Show no favoritism;” in other words, don’t look down on others like they were lower-class, that is, the poor, the disabled or the elderly. We Christians should honor these people.
