The Law of Church and State Balance:
Where the Church fails, the State appropriates for itself. And vice versa.
When the Church fails to feed the poor, the State appropriates that.
When the Church fails to provide healthcare (most hospitals were started by churches which is why hospitals have Baptist, Methodist, etc in their names) the State appropriates that.
When the Church fails to be unselfishly united materially like in Acts, the State appropriates socialism and communism.
But also this works the other way throughout history.
