Are you calling God a Marxist? James the brother of Jesus who by the Holy Spirit wrote...

"Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?" James 2:5-7

James was not a Marxist but he said the rich oppress the poor. You condone oppressing the poor in the name of Libertarianism so you are guilty of that sin. I don't recall Jesus ever saying anything nice about the rich. It has nothing to do with Marxism, socialism, or communism. It's Christianity.

"But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property. And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Matthew 19:22-24
