I certainly see what you're saying, and to a certain degree I agree. But at the same time, I would not say that Christianity is a communal faith. It has a communal aspect, but it also has an individual relationship/individual responsibility aspect. There is the relationship of the individual with God, the relationship of the individual to other believers and the relationship of the individual to non-believers. I'm obviously simplifying here, but I would say these relationships are on equal footing, though the relationship with God is the primary one and it informs the other two. Which relates back to my original point about self-ownership (or self-regency if we accept that we belong to God) in that as human beings we have a personal responsibility, were are given authority to choose, and so the individual owns himself. Again, I'm simplifying, but I think you'll get my point even if you don't agree.
I do understand your point. I'd probably even agree with some form of self-regency if you really wanted to get into the weeds and discuss that specifically.
I might concede that such could be the ramifications of individualism, but I would also say that I don't believe that sort of isolationism is the nature of capitalism. Much that happens in the name of capitalism isn't always capitalism, just as much that happens in the name of socialism is not always socialism. (Or in the name of Christianity, et cetera.)
Again, I can agree with that. In any sociological iussue there are multiple variables that are likely to influence the outcome.
To be honest with you, I'd like to see a libertarian system employed. I think that it would remove many of the unnecessary structures that currently exist. Perhaps we could get to a point where we could be rid of extreme nationalism for example. It would also be nice to see a free flow of workers from anywhere and to anywhere hopefully without the ridiculous amount of obstacles we currently have.
One thing I'd like to hear more about is education, Prince. What would you expect from a libertarian education system (or lack of system)? I don't mean just here in the US, but in the third world as well. I ask because no matter what one thinks of say the Sandinistas, there was no doubt that they did raise the literacy rate very quickly in Nicaragua as did Castro in Cuba. The East Germans were one of the most educated populations in the world (that didn't mean that some of them wouldn't leave to the west to make lots of money!).
I guess that some people fear that a libertarian education might simply leave the poor out of luck and keep the wealthy in a constant circle of retaining high quality education.
