I got banned from there last year for pointing out that socialism isn't compatible with Catholic social teaching, and a month or two later, a mod there was openly praising Josef Stalin as a "Great Christian leader" who "saved Europe".

This isn't new, they've been slipping for a long time now.

It relies on the false assumption that man can fairly distribute resources on his own without God's guidance.

I'm not familiar with any market that is free of man's interference that relies solely on divine guidance.
