Christian communism: Jesuit missions in Paraguay and Hutterite brotherhoods
Abstract:
Several social organizations drawing their inspiration from Christian faith have established a complete community of goods and abolished private property. Two of those essays are the one lead by the Jesuits in their missions in Paraguay, 17th and 18th centuries, and the anabaptist brotherhoods (Hutterites) which arose in the 16th century and still exist and prosper in North-America. This essay goes into their doctrinal foundations, the principles governing their social structure, the challenges they face and their accomplishments. Last, I assess them as against 20th century seal socialism.
