On what basis do you see Christianity as being socialistic?
Start by reading Ayn Rand. There's a lot more, but she's a place to start.

I'm asking your opinion, not Ann's.

Wouldn't the place to start be Paul's letters or Acts?

I read Ayn Rand's works almost 40 years ago. Now why don't you read Pope John Paul's encylica Centisumus Annus.

Here's a preview:

"Socialism considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated to the functioning of the socioeconomic mechanism. Socialism likewise maintains that the good of the individual can be realized without reference to his free choice, to the unique and exclusive responsibility which he exercises in the face of good and evil." Pope John Paul II
