It should not be, because socialism is demonic and seeks to steal:

Excellent words full of wisdom.
Christianity and Islam have in common with Communism the belief that the individual does not belong to himself but to the collective or to God. That individual aspirations are meaningless and that the very definition of virtue is sacrifice of the individual to something else. My suspicion is that is why professional religious people often are friendly to Communism.
You are probably right, J. Sobran, that what you are describing is the mindset among certain clergy and theologians and denominations. While there is some truth behind what you are saying to the extent that scripture encourages tithing and also encourages the church to care for the needy among its people, the overall message of scripture is a repudiation of socialism and communism if properly understood.
I agree. ‘Thou shalt not steal.’ ‘Thou shalt not covet.’
Yes; and envy is considered to be among the “seven deadly sins”.
Over the past 100 years or so, socialist experiments around the world unleashed a vast tide of tyranny, starvation, and mass murder on a scale never seen before in human history. Socialism was implemented in the Soviet Union, East Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, Maoist China, Chavez-Maduro’s Venezuela.
Real socialism has been tried many, many times and it has ended in dismal failure without exception.
History and reason and further biblical reflection lead to the conclusion that freedom and property rights lead to greater long-term wellbeing for the greatest number. And that socialism is evil.
Fred, another point is that socialism is inspired and embodied by envy and covetousness– both of which are sinful attitudes and attributes. But yes, I agree with your comments.
In a Not so Shocking Move, Senate Democrats Refuse to Condemn Socialism.

No, it’s not shocking, Fred. There should have been a favorable vote even if it was non-binding. (Of course, Durbin is correct only to the extent that we currently have many socialist programs– not just social security and medicare.)
