I, myself, am a socalist and have been for many many years and firmly believe that a more socalist society would be better then the current one. Since I have started to study the Bible, I personally believe the Bible renforces my ideas of socalism as it talks about caring for one another, loving one another and helping out those who are less fourtante.
I was just wondering what other Christians would think of this paring?

True socialism can never work because human beings are corrupt and corruptible.
There have been only TWO forces that have tamed human corruption.
1. A belief in, and an understanding that people will be held accountable for their actions to a higher Being.
2. Competition. Without competition there is no incentive to innovate, and work harder to better yourself, so as to be more valuable to a company or society. That's why unions are so bad. Everyone need only work as hard as the laziest guy, because why work harder if you are all getting paid the same?
True socialism is anathema to both those forces.
Yes, I know we have some socialism in our society. Such as our taxes going to fund the military and infrastructure. But those things are not what true socialism is, and what most think it is. They think, "why can't everyone have the same stuff". Ya know, like how the evil originator defines it:
