I was having a conversation with a friend of mine concerning the up coming Canadian election. He told me that he wasn't going to vote (at least that is what I interpreted him to say).
He basically said to me that there isn't a party that would support his beliefs on what he believes is the most biblical form of a democratic government.
If I understand what he said, his opinion is based on the principle that if a person doesn't work, they don't eat.
He doesn't believe anyone who doesn't work should get welfare (I am not sure if he has exceptions to this).
Instead he believes that a form of slavery which is non-racial and voluntary for those who need it.
This would be run privately by people who can afford to support slaves. This would include food, medical, as well as education for the slaves and their families.
He also mentioned something about every seven years there being something that benefited the slaves, but unfortunately I didn't understand his point in mentioning that.
I would have liked to have found out more about his ideas, but unfortunately we ran out of time.

I have to admit that my first inclination was to dismiss what he said out right. However, I thought I would get the opinions of other Christians before I do so.

What are your thoughts on his view?
Please give reasons.
