"Bella Ciao" is stuck in my head. The global socialist of the 20th century or just the global left made good songs.

I'd say something akin to the syndicalist beliefs but more mixed with democracy socialism of the west. But Christian Socialism sounds interesting! I'd like to know more about Christian Socialism.

I've actually incorporated a lot of syndicalist thoughts in my beliefs.I'm all about co-ops and unions.As for Christian Socialism,as the name implies,is an ideology that combines elements of Christian theology with socialist thinking.We generally believe that capitalism is an idolatrous system rooted in greed and materialism.Due to the many Christian denominations that exist (Protestands,Catholics etc) and the many different theological systems,Christian Socialism can vary considerably from country to country depending on the dominant form of Christianity in that place.You may have heard of the "Liberation theology" movement of South America,that was inspired by Catholic social teaching and was a form of Christian Socialism.I am personally inspired by Eastern Orthodox theology (an Eastern orthodox myself).We believe that all people are equal and should be considered brothers and sisters,since we are all are the creations of the same God.Other than that,the ideology supports generally left-wing ideas,like the welfare system,trade unionism,environmentalism,internationalism etc. Some CS are actually secularists who believe that there is no need for a state to exist in order to enforce religion (these are more like Christian anarchists tbh) some others support a state religion.It really depends on the religious ideas and the person that supports them most times.
