Christian communism. Based.
When you look at the material conditions in which Christianity took hold, it actually is pretty revolutionary. It’s a religion based on the rejection of wealth formed in the periphery of a decaying imperialist empire. I’m not religious, but those revolutionary ideas are based as fuck
Im convinced of the exact opposite. I think that Christianity was a Roman psy-op that was designed to pacify a rebellious occupied Judea. Things that the new testament explicitly instructs worshippers to do include:
Don’t seek material wealth or power, those who do so are evil.
Remain meek and nonviolent, don’t seek liberation, and after you die you’ll get everything you would have wanted on earth and more.
Pool your resources and take care of yourselves and each other, but still pay your taxes.
When Roman soldiers attack you, don’t fight back.
That’s a pretty interesting theory
