You're getting the picture, as the "communalist" lifestyle is a Christian concept, as well as hating private property, and it starts here with several different sects. The Anabaptists include the Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites, who are direct descendants of the early Anabaptist movement. The Schwarzenau Brethren, River Brethren, Bruderhof, and the Apostolic Christian Church are Anabaptist denominations that developed well after the Radical Reformation.
The Quakers, though, were the root and home of the True Levellers and the Diggers, who stirred up a lot of trouble and protests, which, later, led to those like Robert Owen. Owen also claimed to obtain his beliefs from the Anabaptists as well. Both Engels and Marx obtained many of their ideas from these groups, and Engels is quoted as saying so.
Read about Gerrard Winstanley with the Quakers and Diggers.
Those living in the Pale of Settlement obtained their ideas from these very groups, in Europe, and at about the time, or just before, the Pogroms. That is where the idea of the Kibbutzim originated.
However, this also spilled over into mainstream Christianity with the Anglicans, and that is where Christian Socialism came from. They were the ones to introduce this ideology into our universities.

The Quakers are something that I've tried to tell others about for many long years, yet another group in mention is always blamed for things such as the idea of communal co-op living, hating the ownership of land, and radical views. Actually, some from this second group obtained their ideas from this earlier Quaker group, and other like-minded Christian communal groups, resulting in the ideas of the Kibbutzim. The Quakers, though, were the home of the Diggers, which spurred all that trouble and rebellion on many years ago. This started under Protestantism, and their communalist ideas spread over into those that lived in the Pale of Settlement later on.
