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.

Believers "shared all things in common" in a specific instance in the early church. They did not have a government program to force that sharing. They did not give their property and/or wealth to the government to redistribute. Nowhere does Scripture say poverty is the Christian ideal.
