I don't think that any Christianity dogma reference (like Satanic references) vis-a-vis this discussion helps your economic argument (with that whole "camel passing through the eye of a needle" thing in Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25 and Luke 18:25). Sorry, Jesus was a communist or at least a leftist. We are comparing economic systems and the morality of overthrowing an economic system that treats you "unfairly".

Since I don't believe in "absolutely fair" (and have never argued for "absolute" anything), I think the burden of reconciling the problems in this philosophy doesn't come from me but, rather, those who hold them true. I can show that today's oppressed are likely to be tomorrows overlords so it is in my interest to create a standing system that promotes those not just those in charge (because, eventually, they will be not in charge).

The most important book burners in recent history, FYI, are extremists who would have us rid ourselves of subversive and degenerate ideas coming from those who think differently from themselves. Oh, yes, and this includes Religious Right here in America these days burning books and music.

By the way here is a list:
