Christ and Hitler were both clear that the poor are robbed of the chance to act virtuously by their dispossession. Jesus healed the sick before telling them to believe. The virtue of poverty is in maintaining your faith and goodwill in a state of deprivation.

Rather than increasing in virtue, the most pressed-upon and chronically underserved people are often driven from deprivation to depravity. Cynicism is closeness to death. This is why you feed yourself and Christ by feeding the hungry. Charity bolsters the faith of others, and frees their hearts. An inability to accept, build on, and pass charity to others is a sign of a reprobate mind.

A king is only like God as long as people hold faith in his leadership, which is easy to lose.

A monk is only like God when his existence is contigent on God alone, but he lives on charity.

Jesus showed us how both of these people can live virtuously. The bottom line is that both their moms had sex, so it's not really worth comparing them on these terms.
