Fair enough, I used Communism as a shorthand rather than it's formalism. Many groups tried holding all in common over the centuries before Marx tied it to the State.

I also accept it's a hard ask, even voluntarily. Hence my personal metric of median income in your society. It's unreasonable to expect an American to live in America on an Indian income. But is reasonable to as a rich American Christain why they are not living like an average American, and using the rest of their wealth for good.

FYI when i ask this of real people, they tend to either tell me the bible is poetry, not to be taken literally. Which is fine, when they take that approach to the Bible in general, but hilarious, (some might say hypocritical) when they say other parts have to be taken literally :-)

What evidence do you have of a "roaring success”? It couldn't have lasted too long all the same players were alive.
