Yes. Along with a long tradition of Christian socialism - more than a hundred years old, in some cases - an example of which I linked to there.

Right. As you may recall, whenever the false "Darwin-Marx" issue was raised, I used to post a link to a website which was titled "Is the Bible's God a Communist?" That link wasn't posted to bash the bible [attention, moderator!] but in order to show that communism has an ancient history which is totally unrelated to Darwin. That website has many passages from scripture that are ... well, hardly encouraging for a free-enterpriser. But one of the creationist crowd managed to get such posts deleted, with the complicity of one of the pro-creationist mods. So I won't post that link again. But you can do a Google search on "IS THE BIBLE'S GOD A COMMUNIST?" and locate it for yourself.

The point of this [attention, moderator!] is that communism existed long before Darwin, and its doctrines are not related to the theory of evolution, all claims to the contrary being purest nonsense.

Indeed. Some very serious examinations the intersection of socialism and religion have been undertaken, particularly in the context of Christianity. It seems entirely fair to link to an online edition of Thomas Headlam's "The Socialist's Church", for example - one may agree or disagree with the notion of Christian socialism, but it is hardly bashing religion to point out that it exists.

The matter is resolved very easily by referencing the book of Acts:

All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. (Acts 2:44-45)
