Socialism is a moral obligation - the Pope

Pope Francis is turning out to be a real rebel against the Capitalist nightmare presently overtaking the world. He's come out right against the Reaganomic capitalism in the US, or "mutant capitalism" as it seems to be called now. 

You know, that capitalism the crazy christians over there embrace; everything has to be run by the corporations pretty much. No free health care and the like. And fuck whatever Jesus was on about as now apparently christianity means to support people and gov's who bend the poor over the bonnet of the car and fuck them senseless. But I digress.....

In fact Pope Francis (not that I believe in an invisible sky man, but he is a major figure of power in today's world) has been sounding positively socialist. To the point of calling socialism a moral obligation.

You know, that evil word socialism that actually means society supporting the less well off and not blaming them for their circumstances.

Pope Francis is clearly inciting people to rebel with his passionate, provocative and inspirational message, which triggers memories of Marx, yet is directly from the Gospels of Jesus: “Working for a just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labor is not mere philanthropy,” not just a handout from capitalist billionaires. 

Instead Pope Francis shifts our focus: The socialism is now “a moral obligation. And for Christians, the responsibility is even greater: it is a commandment. It is about giving to the poor and to peoples what is theirs as a sacred right.” And if we fail to do give it freely, do not be surprised when revolutions explode across Planet Earth. more
