Christian Socialism

Christian Socialism, sometimes called ChristSoc, is an economically left-wing and culturally variable ideology, (typically traditionalist) inhabiting either the bottom of the AuthLeft or the top of the LibLeft quadrant. He believes a socialist society is endorsed by the Holy Bible and the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. He condemns Capitalism for being idolatrous and for promoting the Deadly Sin of greed, among other sins.

Personality
ChristSoc is a devout follower of Christianity who deeply empathizes with his fellow balls. He preaches the biblical passages that endorse more progressive messages over the ones that his conservative peers single out. He is often seen volunteering for good causes and doing political advocacy.

How to Draw

 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Fill the ball with red berry.
 * 3) Draw 4 white L's shaped into a Christian cross in the middle of the ball.
 * 4) Add the eyes and you're done!
