lets say for the sake of argument that every single person in the world followed 100% the real teachings of Jesus (forget about whethere Jesus was real or not for this) or everyone followed 100% the teaching of Marx (forget how you feel about him for this), what world would be better?

Well, neither Marx nor Jesus preached governments or how to run a country.
Communism is derived from Marx's writings, yet the result sure as hell wasn't what he preached. I don't think you could run a society on either of their teachings.

Ummm, What would be the difference?
You do realize that the first Christians lived in communes right?
Oh wait I'm talking to Travh, of course you don't.

"Jesus must of been a hippie, he had long hair and wore sandals" STFU you moron, if you dont want to answer keep your stupid comments to yourself for once. Just because commune and communist sound similar doesn't mean they are the same thing dipshit. god your dumb.

I vote: yes, the world would be better if either Christ's preachings or Marx's could be followed with purity. Love, share, help, give. Problem is, it would involve self-actualization and most people aren't into that. And many would be incapable.

It depends on whether they're following the teachings of either by their own free will or if they're being forced.

I don't know if the world would be better. But, it sure would be very different.

But hey feel free to try and call me stupid by exhibiting your ignorance again, its quite entertaining.
"Jesus must of been a hippie, he had long hair and wore sandals" STFU you moron, if you dont want to answer keep your stupid comments to yourself for once. Actually Jesus was an anarchist. He believed that God's law was the only one owrth following. He preached for the poor and downtrodden. He preached against the state and false prophets. He preached for equality and brotherly love.
And I did answer your question. To me the 2 are synonamous.
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself" - How is this different then Marxist Communism? Loving your neighbor as yourself means that you want them to be provided with everything they need. And as I pointed out Mans laws have no place in comparison with Gods, so the state is irrelevant.
