 >>> Jesus was a Palestinian and Palestine has never been recognized as a country. <<<
..... Jesus was a Galilean, and that country(?) was occupied by the Romans' military at the time. Most of the inhabitants, including Jesus, were (hellenized? Essene?) Jews.

>>>Communism is a remake of middle eastern religion <<<
..... No, it was anti-religious mainly because the religions' authorities at the time (around the year 1800) supported the few rich capitalists, the enemies of most of the people, who considerably exploited the masses. That's understandable, because the capitalists could afford to pay the clergy, while the masses had not enough bread to eat (no, they couldn't afford cake, nor donate to the clergy). Religion-fiction even then was not a modern invention. Modern labor unions are the successful antidote against exploitation of employees.

>>> Middle eastern religion always fails, it just doesn’t work as a viable political system. <<<
..... That may be so; but "always" is a very long time. Religions, just as sciences, evolve, and (some? many? most?) people do learn from their mistakes of the past. New religion-fiction may replace (parts of?) the old one.
