The US has always walked a somewhat different path. In Europe, the left/right dichotomy was associated with monarchism for way over a century. In countries like the UK, it still is.

The soviet union considered the early christian communes to be examples of proto-communism. I don't really know much about that school of thought.

The Stalin constitution of the soviet union even quoted the bible. Stalin did study to become a priest before converting to Marxism-Leninism.

He who does not work, neither shall he eat 2 Thessalonians 3:10

That quote featured big in early soviet propaganda, during the time of the Holodomor.

Whatever else he may have said, Marx's version was much better. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a much better way to run society as a whole.

Passive income is un-Christian! Unfortunately, so are most Christians.
