Conservative black pastor decries rise of socialism in D party

Two of the most well-known Democratic politicians today, Sen. Bernie Sanders and House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are outspoken socialists, and Bishop E. W. Jackson called the fight against socialist Democrats “the greatest spiritual battle for the future of our country since the Civil War,” according to The Christian Post.

“Socialism is Marxist ideology that denies the existence of God and places reliance on government,” Jackson said. “It has been responsible for mass starvation, torture, murder and enslavement. It allows no freedom of speech or thought. Christians are its primary enemy because we believe in freedom and we worship the only true and living God. Yet, self-described socialists are getting elected in our country.”

Jackson recently launched the Campaign to Awaken the Church, calling on Christians to reject the increasingly socialist Democratic Party and fight to prevent the left from taking control of Congress.

“We have had socialists elected to legislature in Virginia,” Jackson said. “A socialist was just nominated for Congress in New York — not to mention that without Hillary cheating, the Democrat Party would probably have nominated a socialist for president. It is now fair to say that the Democrat Party has become a socialist party.”

Jackson listed numerous things he believed were wrong with socialism and the Democratic Party:

Limits free speech
Wants to abolish ICE
Supports open borders
Wants socialized medicine
Seeking universal basic income
Anti-Christian

“If they could, they would persecute the followers of Jesus Christ into silence and submission,” Jackson claimed.
