Did you mean right-wing ideology? (Calling @tptacek and @patio11 ....)

I suppose there are various right-wing ideologies, and some of them may be compatible with Christianity. I cannot imagine any left-wing ideology (which is at best wrong and at worst downright evil) compatible with Christianity.

Out of curiosity: In general, how would you describe "left-wing ideology" and "Christianity"?

One has to be enforced by government to work at a large scale. The other is formed by everyone willingly participating.

Pretty sure Jesus never said anything about the forced redistribution of wealth against your will being good.

any way you decide to organize a state will have to be enforced by government to work at a large scale. That's what the law is for.

Jesus actually did have a pretty clear statement in favor of taxes, the most common form of forced redistribution of wealth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_unto_Caesar
