As to the Puritans we should all remember that their colony was failing until the Wampanoags helped. May we should learn more about them and their way of life that helped to create the colony in our history books.

It should also be noted that they did really poorly under socialism. Real socialism. Everybody shared everything.

The colony started doing well when they realized their error and allowed for private industry and profit.

But, to the main point of the thread, it isn't Purtians per se. It was the thought of John Calvin which was the influence in this matter, and the Purtians were Calvinists.
