I ageee to an extent, but that still doesn't resemble the modern communistic thought of today or those preached by Engles and Marx, or thr comintern, or the Bolsheviks. Back then, communities were tightly knit, unlike today, which preaches competition and individualism above all. Jesus preached individual charity and socialistic aspects of morality on a local scale, not in political or economic thought but on the basis of morality.

I mostly agree. The majority of these were authoritarians. Elite rule is always a problem.

I don't know about Marx, cause I can't recall that he described what communism would be like.
It would probably be similar to the others, but it's difficult to know for sure.
