the devil's advocate:; THE EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH (THE APOSTLES) PRACTICED A FORM OF COMMUNISM. "All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their
possessions and goods and distribute the
proceeds to all, as any had need.
... Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one
claimed private ownership of any possessions,
but everything they owned was held in common. ...
There was not a needy person among them,
for as many as owned lands or houses
sold them and brought the proceeds of what was
sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was
distributed to each as any had need."; — ACTS 2:44–45, ACTS 4:32–35; They did it for love of God first, and then love of neighbor. BUT EVEN AMONG CHRISTIANS AND OTHERS, GREED IS A STUMBLING BLOCK TO PRACTICING THIS HEROIC CHARITY. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR CHRISTIANS AND OTHERS HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WILL IMPACT COMMUNISM WHICH BELIEVES IN NO GOD??? THIS IS WHY COMMUNISM DOESN'T WORK OUTSIDE OF MONASTARIES AND NUNNERYS
