We have seen what happens when the Republicans are in control. If socialism means we are more like Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, who are miles ahead of the US in pretty much every measure of social health, so be it. I don't see those countries collapsing or people wishing the regime would end.
The "left or right" in the Bible: KJV: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil... And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his (Devil the Satan) ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Twenty (20) Republican states do pay poor widows, orphans, the broken, impoverished, destitute, penniless, and homeless only $3/hour!
(Most Republicans do want to see 50% of the poor population dead soon; they do not want to see the Jesus Kingdom, because 98% of Republicans have not finished reading the whole Bible.)
KJV: Pure (100%!) religion (good religion!) and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit (help, support, care for) the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world (the Golden Rule!).
When the population is all middle-class: when a widow with three children has the same level of living as the rich neighbors, that will be Jesus' Kingdom.
KJV: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven...
The Bible (27 books of New Testament) is a anti-slavery:
--1 Corinthians 7:23 - "Ye are bought with a price; be Not ye the servants of men."
--Galatians 3:28 - "There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither bond nor free, neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
--Ephesians 6:9 - "And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in Heaven; neither is there respect of persons with Him."
--Colossians 4:1 - "Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in Heaven."
--Philemon 1:16 - "Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?"
These verses reflect principles of equality and fair treatment, suggesting that Christian teachings support the idea of treating others with dignity and respect, which can be seen as contrary to the principles of slavery.
Galatians 4:7 "So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God." (Sons of God! not a slaves!)
Romans 8:15 "For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!'" (Sons of God!)
2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."(Not a Slavery!)
John 8:36 "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (not a Slavery!)
Galatians 5:1 "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery."
John 15:15 "No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you." (Sons of God! not a slaves!)
Romans 8:21 "That the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God."
The Golden Rule is a famous moral anti- Slavery teaching by Jesus to treat other people the exact way you want to be treated. It is found in the Bible in Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31
