And why would a true communist “use” any scripture?...
I don’t think Marx is compatible with the Holy Trinity.
They may want to use means similar to ones described in one chapter of scripture.
You can't be bothered to read a chapter of the Bible even though they're rarely more than a page long.
You won't even bother to read what you're responding to.
I have read the charter. Now build an actual argument and explain you claims.
Seems you can’t even read what’s posted.
Marx’s own words..
“But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis;”
In a true communist society, there wouldn’t even be a bible to read.

You didn't read Genesis 19.

Communists may want to eliminate social classes by the means of Genesis 19, apparently on the theory that the "have-nots" are the "can-nots."
Genesis 19
Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[g]; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[h]; he is the father of the Ammonites[ i ] of today.
Abraham, Lot, & How to Handle Wealth
justinhuffman.org...
Both Abraham and Lot possess great wealth, but they handle it differently — and that is what makes the great difference. There is a simple logistical problem because of the prosperity that both Abraham and Lot are experiencing, which is that the land simply can not provide for the burgeoning flocks of both men. Abraham therefore, in an attempt to avoid strife, graciously suggests that they separate, and offers Lot first pick of the surrounding area.
