Are you suggesting that Capitalism, without Christian charity is the answer?
Can you expand on a system you believe is the answer; in the same manner you showed the problem with Socialism?

1. Capitalism is NOT the "answer" but it is exponentially better than Socialism.

2. There is no "Christian" government here on earth and never will be despite those who think there can be, Reconstructionists, or those who believe there will be, Postmillennialists.

3. But there is a system that works but unfortunately for most, they will never see it. The name of that 'system' is the "New Heaven and New Earth" where righteousness dwells and a most benevolent King rules the minds and hearts of all.

Remember, "For the poor always ye have with you;..." (Jh 12:8) and it is one of the services of the true Church that collections be taken for the poor and used to relieve their earthly sorrows, even if it is but temporary and partial. I'm NOT referring to adopting a "Social gospel" approach, but rather the biblical teaching of ministering to the poor among us both physically and spiritually, e.g., Rom 15:26; Gal 2:10, et al.
