Christian justification of the origins of property...

That sounds like a joke to orthodox ears like mine. All the first christian communities were ... yes communal. Something like monasteries function until today. Probably you don't want to hear what kind of opinion i have for popes (the same as almost all orthodox christians have).

What is the orthodox position on communism then? Was Jesus a communist and were the early church communists? I've heard that said, but I don't really believe it. God loves a cheerful giver more than one who gives out of compulsion. We also have the responsibility to provide for our families, but the Bible doesn't seem to compel us with more than love to give to the community. There seems to be a subtle difference between the gospels and communism.

Outside of the early church does the orthodox church live in communes sharing all their land ang labour?

Communists are atheists as far as i know... They also say Socrates was the first christian... People say much. Sometimes they may have right, some times not...

I didn't ask what communists were, I'm aware the majority identify as athiests. I asked what the orthodox church thinks of the philosophy of communism..

The fact that communists are atheists makes them hostile to the church that's why i told you so... So... The orthodox church doesn't like them in general.

The orthodox church as you described it, sounds just like them. Other than one worships God and the others don't believe in God.

There is a similarity yes.
