True communism has never existed on earth. If you read the teachings of Marx what we call communism always stopped short and stayed at socialism...a few controlling the masses. There was never true communism where all people were regarded equal. In fact, some Chinese "communists" once said about the followers of Jesus in their country that they were more "communistic" than the regime.
If you want to find true communists look in the book of Acts, what it said about the first believers, " All the believers were together and had everything in common.
Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need." Acts 2:44-45
Jesus was a "servant-leader", who lead others for their good, the good Shepherd who even was willing to lay down His life for the "sheep" to make it possible for them to have a relationship with God again.

A capitalist with compassion.
We are supposed to give not have our things taken from us.
"Give to God what is God's and to Caesar what is Cesar's"
"Give God 10% and Caesar should get no more"
Neither sound like Communist teachings.
Peace be with you.

He's the Son of God, incarnate in flesh. In the beginning, the Word was WITH God, and WAS God, and the Word of God became flesh.
He is the ruler of the universe, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the risen Savior.
He is the final judge of all flesh.

Communist -- did the man ever hold down a steady job in his life?
Bythe way -- that also means that Jesus isn't cool, either.

Neither... he was not a political player... he was a spiritual teacher.... it was other people who tried to involve him in the politics of the day. Politics is too small of a playing field for the soul of man.

Remember he wouldn't answer as you would expect. For he spoke in parables and those that do not understand could not know the truth.
