“Marx was highly critical of “vulgar socialism” and considered the whole notion of “fair distribution” to be “obsolete verbal rubbish.” In response to the Gotha’s program claim that society’s production should be equally distributed to all, Marx asked,
To those who do not work as well? … But one man is superior to another physically or mentally and so supplies more labor in the same time, or can labor for a longer time. ... This equal right is an unequal right for unequal labor… It is, therefore, a right to inequality.”

“Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.” -——Ben Shapiro

Instead of reaching out to and defending what Judeo/Christian beliefs are. Challenging the claims that Islamist make they are following God’s command when ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroy their edifices. Parties with suppressors of the faith

Francis continuing destructive confusing pontificating on temporal worldly social behavior has nothing to do with and avoids articles of faith. Let alone refusing to question and expound on the profound differences with the claims made by Islam and its followers simply because of its assertion of being monotheistic and winds up making a point of honoring it. Is leading to misguided conversions and a serious fracture within Christianity and The Roman Rite .
