In the movie Lazarus gave one third of his wealth to the church. Not enough. Jesus said give it all. That makes Lazarus a democrat and Jesus a communist.
LOL. This is why historian Hillaire Beloc said Marxism was just another Christian heresy.
Uhh--no
Communism is the state forcing individuals to give all. Jesus is recommending it--but not forcing you.
Jesus was talking to an individual, not talking about the State.
Big difference between the State forcing you to do something, and you volunteering to do something because you want to.

All? Please be aware that Jesus often deliberately exaggerated to make a point. For example, Jesus told Peter that should your brother sin against you, you must forgive him not 7 times but 77 times.
Jesus certainly did not mean that you should keep count, and then cease to forgive on the 78th time. Instead Jesus was exaggerating to make a point. Forgive, even beyond what you think is acceptable.
