Socialism or any Rousseau based system I do not like. The way I see it the Constitution of the USA would work perfectly well if not for the New Deal and the Great Society and black influence. The Constitution grants certain powers to the Federal government and no more. All other powers and right remain for the States or for the individual.
This really goes back to Hobbes that government is in order to protect civil society.
From the aspect of Torah, Socialism has two problems. Two are from the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet. From the aspect of Torah the Federal government has a problem because it is limited by contract. The contract in this case being the Constitution. It is in violation of this contract because it has usurped power not given to it and reserved only for the states or individuals. No one can believe in the Old Testament and still hold with socialism.
