Introduction

J d: Can a christian be a socialist? S mat: I think it's very relevant, because i saw a pole just last year that showed that forty % of americans had a favor, favorable view of socialism. The world socialist party of the united states defines socialism as "the establishment of a system of society based on the common ownership and democratic control" It means all our wealth is under the control not of individuals who produce that wealth or own that wealth, but an oligarchy that controls it on our behalf.
