One of the biggest mistakes the Russian commies made was trying to eradicate religion, especially Christanity. They would of had a far more compelling argument if they had embraced the New Testament whole heartedly and argued for communism based on Jesus’s teachings (yes I know, this would of been a distortion of biblical truth, but honestly it's an effective distortion that liberals use to fool the masses every day)

It’s an interesting thought. And, by the way, they never succeeded. Christianity lived on in Russia even under the depravities of Stalin.

Though if the the Communists had embraced Christianity they never could have done the atrocities they committed. Shooting, starving millions of people. Not very Christian.

As an economist my view on Jesus... He IS God. It’s silly to take him on anyone’s side in economic debates. I guess he was a non-materialist though.

So in that way opposed to both Marxists and avid capitalists.

Though as Jesus said, if you follow him and stop praying to the false god of materialism, you will be amply taken care of :D
