I suspect a lot of my Christian friends – and my pro-capitalist friends – will get a bit bothered by reading this – or maybe they’ll just blow it off and ignore it. We LOOOVE to whitewash over the simple fact that both Jesus and the early Church were  advocates of what many people today like to call “socialism” and “communism”.  As Debra points out, Western Christianity is fond of doing the interpretive dance to try to get passages like Acts 2:37-46 to mean anything but what they actually say.
