Also, it doesn't have politics and society in the conventional sense, but men are clearly subordinate to God. Christ is king, this is the way Christians think, so I am not sure this is a correct comparison.

The question of "should Christians strive for a classless society" is a complex one. Egalitarian ideals are very new compared to Christianity, but some Christians now think that in the "fallen world" authority is undesirable as it can be abused. This is not common though.

However, Marxism is an anti-religious ideology. Marxists both believe that religion will disappear after "the base" changes and it will become, ultimately, obsolete, and also have historically persecuted and enacted violence on Christians. So I am not surprised there are not many Marxist Christians.

Not to the early Christians it wasn't. The early Christians movements (before they were co-opted by Empire) were radically egalitarian.

You could literally describe early christianity as the spiritual arm of a revolutionary front.

Actually sir, have you considered that religion bad?

I have read a quote by Marx, and am very smart.
