Evaluating Socialism's consistency with God’s values is not simple.
“…pride and unbridled sensuality break down intellectual and moral barriers that preserve the order established by God…”

“…socialist parties try to implement the homosexual agenda, promote or facilitate abortion, impose stringent "hate crime” laws, or advance other “politically correct” causes.”
Socialism reflects the values and interpretations of those who implement it -- that makes it worldly – and potentially both good and evil.

We should make trade-offs he wouldn't – our definition of harm can and should be different from his. (This is of necessity. He allows pain, suffering, poverty, etc. when free will is involved – the same free will on which lessons are based.)
In my view every person ought to look at it.
