If I recall correctly Martin Luther was accused of facilitating a type of Christianity that will allow everyone to be as greedy as possible and completely disregard their fellow human being in their quest to gain as much wealth as possible. During Luther's time what we now know as capitalism was on the rise when the catholic church's power was waning and we saw less serfs serving landlords and more mercantilism and mobility.

Did Luther call out capitalism for the evil that it is? Not coveting is one of the 10 commandments and Paul says in Colossians 3:5 that greed is idolatry.

I'm asking you all because whenever I search "Martin Luther and Capitalism" I just get a bunch of articles on Martin Luther King Jr. allegedly being a communist.

Also Michael King was confirmed to be communist, that's not mere allegation. He was a commie who went by a false name, plagiarized his doctoral work, denied the virgin birth, all to demand gibs from whitey.

>and we saw less serfs serving landlords

Oh no, what a tragedy.

Every economic system that existed exists and will exist up until we'll have entire manual labour mechanised and robots replacing people in such jobs, will be built on disregard and exploatation of fellow humans, because that is how the world works. Read Gogol, read Dostoyevsky, land owners were as much degenerates as modern day fat businessmen, who viewed serfs as subhumans. Not to mention it being an ineffective system that has led Russian loss in the Crimean war.

Nothing up until second coming will change, this world will remain a shit.

The ndsap rose to power as a reaction to the jewish communist revolt in Germany in the interwar period.

Today, Jews hold undue influence in the crony capitalist scheme of western governments like the US. It isn't philosophically consistent (free market) capitalism because it involves so much state intervention in the favor of certain groups. This is communism lite, socialism.

Jews are to communism as sicilians are to the mafia. This is a basic fact of history.

I'm not even a nazi sympathizer.

Not at all, quite the opposite.

>Did Luther call out capitalism for the evil that it is?

Yes. He wrote extensively on this.

And here is another quote by Luther about usury:

The heathen were able, by the light of reason, to conclude that a usurer is a double-dyed thief and murderer. We Christians, however, hold them in such honour, that we fairly worship them for the sake of their money….

Whoever eats up, robs, and steals the nourishment of another, that man commits as great a murder (so far as in him lies) as he who starves a man or utterly undoes him. Such does a usurer, and sits the while safe on his stool, when he ought rather to be hanging on the gallows, and be eaten by as many ravens as he has stolen guilders, if only there were so much flesh on him, that so many ravens could stick their beaks in and share it.

Meanwhile, we hang the small thieves…. Little thieves are put in the stocks, great thieves go flaunting in gold and silk…. Therefore is there, on this earth, no greater enemy of man (after the devil) than a gripe-money, and usurer, for he wants to be God over all men.

Turks, soldiers, and tyrants are also bad men, yet must they let the people live, and Confess that they are bad, and enemies, and do, nay, must, now and then show pity to some.

But a usurer and money-glutton, such a one would have the whole world perish of hunger and thirst, misery and want, so far as in him lies, so that he may have all to himself, and every one may receive from him as from a God, and be his serf for ever.

To wear fine cloaks, golden chains, rings, to wipe his mouth, to be deemed and taken for a worthy, pious man …. Usury is a great huge monster, like a werewolf, who lays waste all, more than any Cacus, Gerion or Antus. And yet decks himself out, and would be thought pious, so that people may not see where the oxen have gone, that he drags backwards into his den.

But Hercules shall hear the cry of the oxen and of his prisoners, and shall seek Cacus even in cliffs and among rocks, and shall set the oxen loose again from the villain.

For Cacus means the villain that is a pious usurer, and steals, robs, eats everything. And will not own that he has done it, and thinks no one will find him out, because the oxen, drawn backwards into his den, make it seem, from their foot-prints, that they have been let out.

So the usurer would deceive the world, as though he were of use and gave the world oxen, which he, however, rends, and eats all alone…

And since we break on the wheel, and behead highwaymen, murderers and housebreakers, how much more ought we to break on the wheel and kill…. hunt down, curse and behead all usurers.
