Socialists were in many ways looking for a radical change in the way society was structured. Their main goal was to re-build economic, political, philosophical and religious systems from scratch, neglecting everything related to the capitalist society they wanted to overcome. Because of this idea of re-installation, of decosntruction of all known models, socialists were utopian in their way of thinking and developing.

Social reformers on the other hand, understood the principles of socialist and communist societies but also the fact that their idea of democracy required winning state power. By slowly adapting the established system to their social reforms they could remain in power for long periods of time that could then be used to further transform and fix the issues presented by capitalism like lack of education, low wages and inequity.

The correct answer is TRUE.

Both Catholic and Protestan christian faiths consider that stealing another person's properties is a sin, an inadequate behaviour for which belivers need to ask for forgiveness to God.

In this line, people who frequently attend the religious services connected to the abovementioned faiths, will more likely implement the ideas of the religion in their life, their choices and their opinions than others. Therefore, it is quite probable that they will not support selling or buying stolen goods.
