Reply #26: What I find amusing is that wiki also says

[Berry Cool]

of the "first principle of socialism":

This is not really directed at lazy or unproductive workers, but rather the bourgeoisie...in a communist society...there would be no class of individuals that lives off the labor of others...

The principle would not apply to those who could not work, such as the elderly or the lame. These groups would have a right to society's products because they were not at fault for their condition. The elderly, furthermore had worked during their youth, and so could not be denied life’s basic necessities.

Don't know how accurate this is, given that it's wiki and not everything has a cite, but if so, it sounds like the complete opposite of what Mary and her ilk believe. She, of course, would say "Damn right it does--what you just described, a situation where people aren't allowed to just live off the trust funds they inherited, and old and sick people are taken care of without having to work, is socialism." But, um, Mary, you just expounded on it as a great principle in line with the teachings of Jesus...
