Do not sell money for profit, do not ask rent, lend to your brother when
he needs it, cancel his loan in the 50th year as if it never happened,
do not withhold loans when approaching the 50th year.
Distribute the land.
Do not oppress the people.
Pay labor a fair wage, pay them on the same day as they work.
Labor: you must demand your wages.
Uphold justice, do not play favorites with the rich, or the poor.
Do not ask for a king.
Do not worship idols, do not engage in rituals with the deceptive cult
bosses.

This is the Torah.

Money & land:
   WAJIKRA Behar 25:35-37, DEVARIEM Ki Tetsee 23:20-21.
   WAJIKRA Behar 25:23, BEMIDBAR Masee 34:16.

It is both curious and a big mistake of the wider socialist / communist
movement to ignore the achievements of the Torah, which are all class
consious labor interests. What where the jews before they fled Egypt:
slaves and severely abused.

Unfortunately the Torah does not contain a state system, if you read the
story you can see that Israel failed the Torah; it looks like the state
system of Israel was going to be made out of all the first borns. But
they again chose tyranny, and then only those that didn't do that got
all the power (the Levite tribe). Since that day all the first borns in
Israel must pay the Levite tribe a half shekel at birth, which signifies
that the Levite tribe would rule instead of the first borns (Israel
doesn't seem to know this, but it seems true, and they still do it to
this day.)

For systems of democracy you could investigate the native North
Americans, for example the Haudenosaunee Great Law of Peace.

The socialists/communists hae fought 150 years for justice.
With the jews the struggle has already lasted more then 3000 years.
You could start counting with the socialists from the days of Aristotle.
But Aristotle never managed to get his people to do his ideas, actually
Moshe also ultimately failed to get a people to do his ideas.

... the struggle continues ...
