Is social justice a Christian doctrine? (WND):

Shafarevich shows that the first European socialists were heretics, some of them quite violent and murderous (see the chapter "The Socialism of the Heresies" starting on page 18). The Taborites, for example, took over large regions around Prague and later in other countries, plundering and burning churches and brutally murdered priests and peasants who refused to go along with their policies. Like the other socialist heretics, they "held everything in common." But the possessions they held in common were mostly the fruits of other people's labor, including gold and silver items stolen from churches. They were more antichrists than Christians. If we consider this behavior on the part of the earliest socialists, the behavior of the French revolutionaries and the fact that the socialist phenomenon (Shafarevich, like all Soviets, made no distinction between socialism and communism) killed 100 million in the places it was practiced in the 20th century, it should be clear that American "Christian" leftists like Jim Wallis are playing with fire.
