Apparently, he is being sarcastic. I need to get back to work, so briefly: Socialism would deny original sin, as it believes that people are inherently good. It goes back at least as far as Plato. The Nationalization program of Britain was probably the closest Society has come to actual Socialism. Tenets of Socialism have proven their worth in many societies including Canada and the U.S. The USSR walked under both Socialistic and Communistic banners but was neither.

However, I still believe there are major flaws in the socialist ethic which perhaps we can look at later. As far as AJ--he apparently believes in original sin, which would exclude any socialistic apologetics from his value system. I respect the consistency of those values. I'm just sorry he was born bad...
