Y'Know who would have LOVED communism? Jesus.
He pretty much preached pure communism to his followers.
Luke 14:33 "No one can be my disciple who has not forsaken all his possessions"
Matthew 6:24 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
The acts of the apostles basically describes a communist society:
"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."
If this guy really believed in Jesus, he would be a communist. As it is he's just a wannabe fascist caricature using organized religion to shuttle sheep to slaughter.
