I am certainly NOT giving any credence to Islam OR the Koran. I simply used the example in Acts, “And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.”
It was NOT a form of government, it was a group of believers caring for one another in time of need.

Were you meaning that the Pilgrims were governing as a theocracy as your connection to the early Christians?

I was talking about socialism vs capitalism, and it was the Plymouth Colony that tried both and found that capitalism worked. The Virginia Colony of Jamestown had a similar experience.

I was NOT making any religious references in my initial post, especially not the concept of establishing a theocracy. I was looking at only economics.
