Trade is a legitimate thing. The Bible calls for fair weights and fair measures, not for collectivizing a society.

I’m not saying the market doesn’t conform to any moral system, nor that its results aren’t in line with traditional Western morals. I’m saying the market itself doesn’t produce morals. It is simply a social mechanism. You get the idea that collectivization is bad, apparently, from a 2,000 year-old religion, which itself grew from an even older moral tradition. You didn’t arrive at your conclusion because you love freely fluctuating prices and several property.
