According to the
religious left, the hallmark of every non-socialist society is a
dualistic framework
featuring oppressors and victimizers on the one hand, and oppressed
victims on the other. This social arrangement, the religious

of all manner of social ills – racism, sexism, alienation,
homophobia, imperialism, greed, and economic injustice. That is why
according to the religious left, the United States –
historically the standard-bearer of all capitalist economies – can
only do wrong.
