[QUOTE="ArmenianJohn, post: 76125198, member: 324023"] So you're not familiar with Marx's slogan, "[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_his_ability,_to_each_according_to_his_needs']From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs[/URL]"? It is considered the basic principle of communism. But, while it's attributed to Marx, who indeed did popularize it in promotion of his communist ideas, he himself took it from the Bible. Marx was a Christian and understood the Bible very well. He even had written about Christian principles, showing much knowledge and awareness about Christian theological concepts. So, it's clear where he got this concept from: Acts 4 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: [B]neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.[/B] 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 [B]Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.[/B] 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
