I think it makes sense to use the correct words, esp. if you're using loaded words like communism or fascism. So the early christians (and many before and afterwards) were trying for a spiritual and communal life in a small group of believers. Like monks do. But that is not what most people are thinking when they are talking about communism.
Do you not think a community where each provides as his ability to everyone as is his need is communism? It certainly sounds like it to me.
At least the ideal, if not what had been observed. It seems ridiculous to me to insist a thing cannot exist before it has been described by someone. Retro-actively we can classify a philosophy by how it's proponents insisted people behave.
