yes, technically jesús couldn't be a commie, cuz there was no such a theory when he purportedly was around, but marx & engels were christians without a god. the only ones who got it right have been the liberation theology jesuits and some early russians revolutionaries and-- oh, wikipedia sez more (smore):

it's got a bunch of bible quotes as well that i won't bother to replicate here.
