Left wing ideology demands property be removed from any who they designate as wealthy by force and penalty of law for the greater good and to build a government big enough and powerful enough to impose that will.
Can you source this please? I've never heard of this before.

You misunderstood.
Those who respect the 10 commandments and recognise the Christ as the Messiah have a guarantee of 'eternal happiness'
You mistook a conversation Jesus had with a man, for a command to everyone. A common mistake.
Luke 6:24
"Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you."
1 Timoth 6:9
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
Revelation 3:17
For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
Dunno man... Sounds like he REALLY doesn't like rich people...

You skipped all over the place in that reply LOL.
What does gender or my username have to do with the topic of this thread.
If you were looking for a female perspective on the topic, ask God. As I'm one of those of the belief that God is indeed a Woman in nature.

Ah, you are referring to communism... well since they dismantled the church I doubt that Jesus would approve of those... Also communism was terrible since the people in power got SUPER rich... You can't lump all socialist ideology in with that lot, otherwise I should be lumping you in with the Nazis...
Also, I still think it is abundantly clear that God states that it is very difficult to get into heaven if you keep all your wealth to yourself, you are not charitable and you actively seek wealth. I have given you about 10 quotes from the bible to prove so, you have given me no quotes to say that the Bible approves of the wealthy yet.

God did not make that clear at all, in order to believe that you must preserve an ignorance about the message that was very clear: Wealth will not gain one entrance into heaven. Charity does not equal impoverishing yourself, charity is important and voluntary.
Period.
Ezekiel 7:19
They cast their silver into the streets, and their gold is like an unclean thing. Their silver and gold are not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They cannot satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it. For it was the stumbling block of their iniquity.

Sounds like he wants the rich to chuck away their wealth because it is "not able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the lord", what part of that isn't clear that he wants people to give up their wealth?

See Marx: Communist Manifesto, or any major bill the Democrat party has ever tried to pass.
Or, listen to the OWS mob's demands, or any leftist anywhere who demand access to other peoples time and money is a 'right'.

What Jesus wanted is irrelevant as he was a creation of the Romans, purely for control of the masses, which clearly worked.
Neither socialism or communism can ever work. They always end up in fascism. Our current version of capitalism is far from great, but there is far more freedom within it than you will ever get from socialism.
I do not who's behind it or why, but for some reason socialism is being pushed so much at the moment.

I feel like Jesus wanted the rich to give to the poor and for a much smaller rich - poor gap, this sounded like left wing politics to me.
