So if we follow this logic, Christianity is communist because it
encourages -- in fact mandates in certain cases -- sharing. Give me a
break.
Christianity certainly has a communist aspect. Does Christianity encourage
the accumulation of capital? From my 12 years experience I don't recall any
such.
Sharing ownership is NOT communist. STATE control and ownership IS. The
state does not really share. That is how communism is practiced
(Stalinism, Maoism, orthodox communism, etc.).
I think the first post already noted a difference between Stalinism and
communism.
