A variation of the hammer and sickle with the hammer replaced by a Christian cross, used by Christian communists.
Not to be confused with Christian socialism.
Christian communism is a theological view that the teachings of Jesus compel Christians to support religious communism. Although there is no universal agreement on the exact dates when communistic ideas and practices in Christianity began, many Christian communists argue that evidence from the Bible suggests that the first Christians, including the Apostles in the New Testament, established their own small communist society in the years following Jesus' death and resurrection.[1] Many advocates of Christian communism and other communists, including Karl Kautsky, argue that it was taught by Jesus and practised by the apostles themselves.[2] This is generally confirmed by historians.[3]

There are those who hold the view that the early Christian Church, such as the one described in the Acts of the Apostles, was an early form of communism or religious socialism. The view is that communism was just Christianity in practice and Jesus was the first communist.[4]
