Brother, we were lucky in the first few centuries after Jesus' death, that the authorities were very thorough in cleaning up His perfect message. I've read heretical gnostic texts that distinguish Jesus the individual (him), Christ the universal self (Him) who is the same in everyone, and God who is consciousness existing independently of the vehicle (a perceiving entity).

Heaven is actually here and now but living as the universal self rather than as an individual ego. And yet even the disciples taught directly by Jesus did not know how to access this psychological state.

John 14
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Of course this is all complete nonsense. What about the Holy Ghost? What about discipline? What about tithing? In any case, I have not heard of the communist spin on early Christianity. No doubt it is a modern take on the heretical views of those early fake Christians.
