The US has always walked a somewhat different path. In Europe, the left/right dichotomy was associated with monarchism for way over a century. In countries like the UK, it still is.

The soviet union considered the early christian communes to be examples of proto-communism. I don't really know much about that school of thought.

The Stalin constitution of the soviet union even quoted the bible. Stalin did study to become a priest before converting to Marxism-Leninism.

He who does not work, neither shall he eat 2 Thessalonians 3:10

That quote featured big in early soviet propaganda, during the time of the Holodomor.
