2 Thessalonians 3:10
Even when we were with you we were giving you this command: If anyone doesnt want to work, they shouldnt eat.
Would a Democrat Christian reject this verse? If so, how are they a Christian?

Ephesians 4:28
He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
1 Thessalonians 4:11
and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,
In the USSR, work is a duty and a matter of honor for every able-bodied citizen, in accordance with the principle: He who does not work, neither shall he eat.So a Democrat would certainly continue to fool himself into thinking he is a practicing Christian on such a basis, while fighting God at the same time; after all, that scriptural principle is not being rejected per se. Same old doublethink, direct from the god of this world.
The principle applied in the USSR is that of socialism: From each according to his ability, to each according to his work.
