In fact it raises the status of the individual more so than capitalism because it says that individuals are valuable and a part of society irrespective of their pure economic contribution. It also says that the value of an individual is not related to supply and demand economics. Capitalism says that an individual has no value unless they produce something that people will pay for. No, the problems of socialism tend to fall in the practical considerations, rather than the moral (or biblical).
