    <<Simply said, the earliest Christians were communists (as Acts tells us of the church in Jerusalem, and as Paul’s epistles occasionally reveal), not as an accident of history but as an imperative of the faith. .. a Christian is allowed to long and hope ultimately for no other society than one that is truly communist and anarchist, in the very special way in which the early church was both at once. >>

    1. What Lies Beyond Capitalism?
      from Plough
      David Bentley Hart argues that capitalism can’t be reconciled with the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Christ condemned not just greed for riches, but their very possession, and Jesus’s first followers were voluntary communists. At this advanced stage in the history of capitalism, is a more truly Christian form of life still a possibility?
