Jesus had no such thought. He was NOT a communist. Government is always force—which is evil. (Necessary evil which has to be limited.).

Jesus believed in subsidiarity and charity—yes. But Charity can NEVER be defined as forcing one person to give his stuff to another. That force makes it NOT charity. “Governments” are incapable of practicing charity.

Jesus was for individual dignity and worth-—never “the End justifies the Mean” of Karl Marx. You can never kill of a few people for the good of the State. EVERYTHING about the NANNY state is not only unchristian—it is unconstitutional.

If Jesus wasn’t a communist it’s because there was no such thing as communism back then. He was not there to argue about the government’s use of tax money and couldn’t have cared less one way or another.
