TJ you must differentiate between "true communism" and implied communism - usually called socialism toward the goal of communism.

Based on the Jewish Bible scripture the first true communist movement who resisted serfhood to the rich and powerful was the Prophet Amos en.wikipedia.org and indirectly Joshua ( en.wikipedia.org ) and Jeremiah en.wikipedia.org and supposedly more which I am not aware of.

The freedom of faith and logical choosing of the right person as companion is very clearly told in the Bock of Ruth ( en.wikipedia.org ) - a "Moab" woman ( en.wikipedia.org ) that by strictly "blind following" of the rules of the Hebrew Bible should have never married Boaz a Jew- what this book teach us is that the person has its own value and rights based on its behaviour and not only his heritage.

The basics of the involvement of people of the Jewish cred in so many historical events is the fact that the Hebrew Bible is open to debate and interpretation by everyone that actually induced the logical thinking and interpretation as learning to read was obligatory even in ancient times and not a privilege reserved to the elite.

This fact drove the Roman conquerors crazy as messages related to the amount of taxes to be paid from your crops where widely distributed on paper which the average Roman could not read.

In addition Joshua or Jesus Christ actually preach that all men AND women are equal before GOD an issue that upset even the well to do Jews in antiquity not to mention the other prevailing powers into the middle ages. This attitude started to split during late middle ages where the men claimed superiority as copied from the neighboring nations but did not diminished the freedom of inquiry and research of the scripture that later transformed in scientific research. The batch of books named "Talmud" "Mishnah" and "Gemara" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemara) written mostly by now in a defunct languages aramaic - is the component of the Talmud comprising rabbinical analysis of and commentary on the Mishnah written in 63 books. At first, Gemara was only transmitted orally and was forbidden to be written down, however after the Mishnah was published by
Judah ha-Nasi ( en.wikipedia.org )

As to communism the only true communist settlement where during Jesus Christ time and he was in one of them near the Dead Sea at Quran (a settlement dedicated to the study of the Hebrew bible and its interpretation) and later in Israel the various flavors of Kibbutzim which to date proved that "true communism" inhibits free thinking and entrepreneurship even that many kibbutzim are economically very successful today but where able to separate ideology from practicality.

The ability ingrained into the Jewish religion to inquire and explore ideas, be argumentative claims and not assume that the Holy Scripture can be interpreted as written as the word of GOD. germinated various ideologies including the musing of Karl Max et. al. which theories are utopian.

Therefore you had products like Borodin and Cohen who where believing in totally opposite ways of life.- one submissively to his ideology and superiors ... and the other one free wheeling and dealing opportunist.

The map below may help to decipher the convoluted history of the Jews who where mostly exiled by the Roman Empire or those left over to live on the land forced to convert to Islam after the Islamic conquest.
