Anarcho communism is an oxymoron:
- "Anarchist communism (also known as anarcho-communism, free communism, libertarian communism, and communist anarchism) is a theory of anarchism which advocates the abolition of the state, capitalism, wage labour, and private property (while retaining respect for personal property), and in favor of common ownership of the means of production, direct democracy, and a horizontal network of voluntary associations and workers' councils with production and consumption based on the guiding principle: "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need". Matthew 6:1 ¶ Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.[1]
According to this definition it wants to "abolition of the state, capitalism, wage labour, and private property" which will require violence and then sets up a "direct democracy" which will allow the majority to rule over the minority. The number of men who want to take away your labor for their own purpose does not justify forcing your neighbor to serve others.<Re>Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. : Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
- Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
- Mark 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.</Ref>
Any type of "common ownership" will only work with saints and you cannot be a saint without the liberty of choice given to your neighbor. That only comes within capitalism. Capitalism only works where their is general morally accepted prohibition against any covetous practices. There is no place I know where there is true capitalism being practiced. Before the world will change for the good men have to daily strive for and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. If they were doing that they would abolishing the need for the state and the state would become superfluous.
The Anarcho communist view that the majority should take "from each according to his ability" and give "to each according to his need" is contrary to the biblical principles of Isaiah[2] and Thessalonians [3]
Those people who seek to take from each according to their ability are not only coveting their neighbor's labor but are robbing the liberty of charitable practices from their neighbor. They are workers of iniquity,[4]
In the kingdom of God every man is returned to his family and to his possessions[5] The people seek the kingdom of God according to the perfect law of liberty.
Jesus was not a socialist but he did preach one form of government where men did not rule one over the other like the fathers of the earth and the benefactors of the world whether they were one man or a majority.
You cannot advocate communism and be a Christian but you do not have to be a communist to have community. Ask yourself
Where is your religion
- Where do you find the Daily ministration of the early Church, the Pure Religion of James and the Corban of Jesus?
- Are you following The Blessed Strategy of Christ like the Early Christians?
- Are you following The Way through Love of one another or the way of the world and the Fathers of the earth?
- Do you seek the benefits of bankrupt nations, or do you forgive and seek the benefits of Christ's appointed Kingdom?
- Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?
- Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?
If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.
If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.[7]
It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.
Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Christ all created Networks of charity to care for the true needy of society without force which is how they were able to help set people free. Do you gather with His Church to attend to the Weightier matters as Christ said?
- Are you gathering in a Network of righteousness?
- Do you come to love others or just be loved?
- Are your Congregations' gatherings fruitful enough so that no one has to pray to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other?
- Does anyone in your Free Assemblies have to apply to the Fathers of the earth, or seek their many benefits?
Early Christians found themselves in conflict with these systems of social welfare because they made the word of God to none effect. Christians had repented of their covetous nature when they received the Baptism of Christ. They heard and became Doers of the word not hearers only.
Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."
We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.
