Sometimes, I pray for Socialism to take over the world.

Nothing scares me like economic injustice.  I've been doing reading for my Christian Ethics class, and a number of the readings are about the connection between economic injustice and other forms of injustice, such as race and gender, as well as the obvious one of class.  As a warrior of the truth, I do my best to stand against all form of injustice, but there's something about economic injustice that makes me feel helpless.  How can I stand against the devastating power of money?

As a teacher, I feel I can tackle the tough subjects with my students.  As a Christian youth minister, I feel obligated (and privileged) to follow the example of Jesus as a radical teacher of an alternative vision of society.  I can teach my kids about race and gender inequality, homophobia, and eco-justice.  But I don't know how to teach them about economic injustice.  Economics was a subject that I never grasped particularly well, and it is a particularly sordid and convoluted business in contemporary capitalism.  How do I fight, and teach others to fight, something I don't understand?  Is this a subject I have to trust to others, who share the desire to fight injustice and have the knowledge to tackle economics?  Or do I need to pick-up a book, take a class, and learn more?  Both?
At least I know one thing:  I'm voting for someone who economic injustice does not privileges.  Or at least privileges less.
