A very important part of Matthew 20 is:

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning"

It's meant to describe what the kingdom of heaven is like, not what a productive real world economic policy is like.

The lesson is that you shouldn't be jealous of God's love and blessings for others simply because they were late to the game. In fact, we should be happy for them. In fact, the early workers should be glad because they were able to accomplish more for God.

And even if you take the passage literally, it's still advocating that private land owners can decide for themselves how they will run their enterprises and that workers can negotiate their own wages.

The best argument there is that Jesus needed miracles to feed and heal people, which is exactly what socialism needs

I have. Twice actually. I started searching for a new church when my old church closed for being 'non-essential' this spring. Tried over a dozen churches since then, and and basically interviewed the pastor after each. Finally found one who isn't afraid to mince words.
