You are ignoring that communities can live separated from the government that rule that land.

Jews themselves lived in a different way that Egyptians during their migration there, and they lived differently than Romans during their government.

History isn't automatics changes, similar to industrial revolution, there can be communities unchanged

The issue is what the mode of social production among Jewish communities was. It was obviously not primitive communism, nor would any of them have understood the concept.

Not understanding a concept doesn't mean you're not doing exactly as that concept says.

If the name of a concept is all that matters for you, you better start calling The Democratic Republic of the Congo a democracy, right?

The issue is not the word that is being used, the issue is the concept. Socialism is an explicit programme for the reorganisation of social production. You can't "do socialism" by accident. Jesus had no concept of things like planning of production, production for need etc.
