All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45 they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. [...] Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. [...] There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.

— Acts 2:44–45, Acts 4:32–35

how about the tower of babel? humanity will try and try and try to build a one world (communist/oligarchical) government, but God will not allow it and will smite down those who try and scatter them to the winds

OP you're looking for distributivism, which is big on the need for private property. It's antitrust, and advocates for broad ownership of economic systems to mitigate exploitation. Distributivism of the early Church emphasized charity and sharing resources in areas where collaboration would make sense, much like guilds would be later structured. Communism is inherently anti-Christian because it requires violence to create an artificial heaven on earth. Marx presupposed the promise of heaven is a fiction to pacify the oppressed and that man must find his own salvation, for man is the measure of all things. It explicitly seeks to destroy mankind's relationship with God.

Communism doesn’t require violence. Communism is what happens when the efficiencies of capitalism make the surpluses from shared property apparent to every consumer. Communism has nothing to do with Marxism. Communism is exactly biblical according to Acts 4 as mentioned above. You’re inventing “distributivism” as a way to twist scriptural teaching, which explicitly disclaims private property. Evangelicals are exactly wrong on this issue.

Yes, Christians in Acts voluntarily held property in common, and voluntarily renounced ownership of their possessions. What they did not do is reject the natural right to own private property, which is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition of Communism.

Paul told the Corinthians that giving is not compulsory. “Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Cor. 9:7) Did you forget that Communism requires personal forfeiture? Property is taken, not given freely.

When a Christian under Communism refuses to relinquish property to his neighbors, he is punished and his property is seized anyway.

When a Christian removed from Communism refuses to relinquish property to his neighbors, he is not punished, as Paul said, giving is not of necessity.

Nowhere in Acts will you find that Christians were under obligation to give property or prohibited from enjoying private property.

“Natural right” is not biblical. Communism does not require coersed personal forfeiture. There is no punishment for failing to comply.

Communism is what happens when capitalism becomes inefficient.

You cannot divorce economic theory of Communism from its essential tenets and their application.

Communism denies private ownership.

Prohibitions do not have meaning if they can be ignored. A Communist society in which people can freely hold private property is not Communism, because the denial of private property is a necessary characteristic of Communism.
