Bernie is hawking the Christian ideal.

Not at all. Theft by government has never been the Christian ideal. Socialism/Communism says "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" but Jesus described the Kingdom of Heaven as a system where the lord of the estate allocated resources to his stewards "... TO each according to his ability...".

No it says, believers shared things in common and poverty is the Christian ideal.

European monasteries and Christian religious orders were founded on the notion of the common life.
