Why are more Christians not Communist?

First off, let me preface this and say that I have been a Christian all my life, I also happen to be a Marxist Communist minus the hatred of Christianity. It's a basic human right for everyone to have a home, free education and free healthcare, I am also based in Canada and we are lean socialist, which is the transition to communism. Also the early Christians were in fact communist.

However, I have met many Christians mostly from the United States that don't believe in basic human rights as mentioned above, and are in fact fine with worldliness when it comes to home purchasing, class etc. This is truly the opposite of Jesus teachings.

I have read Marx, Lenin, Trotsky etc. Also, when I refer to communism I am not referring to the Soviet Union which unjustly murdered many priests and nuns, China after Mao or any other country which a fox news host would label communist and truthfully, many Republicans cannot even define communism. There is currently no country in existence that is truly communist except the first few years in Russia after 1917 run by Lenin and before Stalin. But I ask myself this and pray for it, Capitalism is Satan's greatest ally, it promotes worldliness, a class system which means many will not go without, suffer because another drug addicted billionaire needs a paycheck and promotes the obtainment of more and more money, at the behest of people suffering. Therefore I naturally lean communist, how is it that some Christians cannot see that the greatest harm is caused by capitalism, especially in respect to exploitation of other countries. So other Christians I want to hear your thoughts, because Capitalism is the opposite of Jesus teachings ( he even became angry when private sales were happening in his father's temple) how could one be so cruel as to exact a price tag on healthcare, education and living. The reason I bring this up is because Madami enacted a two year rent freeze for over 2 million renters, which Trump went on a classist tirade.

I want to hear more from other Christians about your thoughts.
