The first Christian Jerusalem community was an archetype of communist society of the future. Soviets failed to build communism for the reason of the new communist consciousness has not materialized as was planned. In the book of Acts spiritual awakening is a prerequisite that would appear in the last days and facilitate coming of Christ that is coming spiritual communism that the Soviets wanted to build on the physical world but failed to understand.
Communism has a hard time standing on it's own for a very long time. If there is nothing to gain from working harder, everyone tends to do as little as they can.
The USSR learned this lesson. China is changing too. You would never have found the Free market companies formed and trade on the exchanges in the old days. China depends on it today.
The Wealth effect of free markets will raise the standard of living for all in the countries that have it. Further, the more freedom allowed generates new ideas for economic activity through the diversity of thinking over a few government officials. Honesty in business also expands the economies.
Money is a funny thing. If everyone sits on it, nothing happens. When it is passed back and forth through more and more people, the economies grow and the standard of living expands for everyone. Funny how that works.
God is very very Smart. God grants freedom. Everyone would be smart to do the same thing.
