Robin Hood: Addressing corruption and socialism

Robin Hood is all about taking from the rich and giving to the poor. He does this to fight the corruption of the tax collectors in his town of Nottingham. This reminds me of the story of Zaccheus and how he was a tax corrupt tax collector that Jesus saved and spoke against his corruption. Robin Hood fights the tax collectors corruption, though in a more violent way than Jesus. Furthermore, Robin Hood is trying to redistribute resources to be more equal among everyone. In the Bible, God calls us to live in this way, to share with our neighbor, forgive debts, and to not be selfish. Robin Hood displays these principles, even when our society cannot actually function based on these Socialist principles, as our discussion of Capitalism told.
