I will agree with you that the early church did display voluntary collectivist principles, but they did not practice communism.

that is what it turned into, that wasn't what was attempted at happening...
What they attempted to do was create a socialistic state... It didn't work, but the ideals are still the ame...
Yes, there are bad things about communism, but the fact is it was just people trying to have the same exact ideals that Jesus espoused (taht being socialistic ones)...
Stop listening to the lame propoganda that all communism/socialism is bad... It isn't... Its just people trying to reach an ideal where everyone has all thier needs met and no one is in poverty... did it work? No... But that's because they didn't FOLLOW THROUGH on waht the initial plan was, not because the initial plan was flawed...
