Some of the ways the early Christian communities conducted themselves strikes some as communist.
Modern Lithuanian speech is the closest thing to the Proto-Indo-European upon which the languages of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia are based. It is possible at least a few people in the middle East spoke similar languages.
The term magic used to not refer to miraculous powers but to the practice of trying to apply an existing pattern to some undertaking. A person tasked with providing patterns, if they spoke any near relative of proto-Indo-European, might call their job “Magijos Dalinimas” because “dalint” means to distribute.
If they were named for their profession, they might have been called “Mag-dalina.”
It is speculated Mary Magdalene was named for the town of Magdala but it need not be so, or it is possible the town was a center of people involved in “Mag-Dalinimas.”
It is said they had to drive out seven demons from Mary Magdalene.
Perhaps back then they would form an unhealthy rapport that might have seemed like possession to those not in the know. It seems possible some of the people in Roman-governed Judea practiced other religions, perhaps Babylonian ones.
In some places, they still try to pressure people into the life of an entertainer so they could use their intelligence to educate the masses.
As for the allegedly communistic practices of early Christian communities, it seems possible that the price of admission was to give your all to help others like Mary Magdalene before they were marginalized into a sinful lifestyle, because they were probably being blacklisted from work.
