    Hi Rick and Platt,

    On socialism there is also this...

    The community of believers were of one heart and one mind. None of them
    ever claimed anything as his own; rather, everything was held in
    common. With power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the
    Lord Jesus, and great respect was paid to them all; nor was there
    anyone needy among them, for all who owned property or houses sold them
    and lay them at the feet of the apostles to be distributed to everyone
    according to his need. Acts 4:32-35
