In this episode Mark & David answer the question of the title of this episode directly and then explore their reasons as to how they have come to the conclusion they have. While on that journey of exploration they discuss whether Christians should lean politically one way more than the other, what happens when socialism becomes true communism, and what can learn from the 10 commandments when it comes to politically left ideology.
