“It also gets an honorable mention in the book of Acts.”
Yes, in a vague-ish waving off sort of way like, “If you’re going to bother, do it this way.”
So we see the giving and sharing was out of voluntary generosity absent any punishment-connected dictae as to who gave what and how much. Note the dialog surrounding the deception of Ananias and Saphira. There’s no indication there’d have been a problem them holding back some of the proceeds; it was strictly their deception that got them the Zot.
This discussion is a well-traveled route, but the lack of a top-down “thou shalt” with associated punishments and a cadre of enforcers removes it from the realm of our miserable human governmental “-isms.”
“Voluntary sharing” doesn’t count in the the governmental “-isms.” It seems the basic idea with communes was voluntary sharing, but that never seemed to last very long. Greed always comes into play.
True dat.
