My mayor, a liberal Republican, created a "Caesar Chavez Day", a city-wide holiday that enabled all city employees to take the day off with pay. Cost to the taxpayers was estimated to be $48,000 annually.
Ya I’ve heard the Christ -communist stuff before.
He favored a 10% flat tax IIRC.
Promoted a Monarchy, as well.
Expected more from those who had more, but never codified it, other than to imply that love of material possesions might create an obstacle in seeking his Father.
He loved the poor and crippled and dispossessed and rejected the legalists and the phony religious leaders.
He showed a better way, not so suited for the present; or was it? He was a pacifist ( think Quakers), whereas most of us are prepared for warfare.
He could have ushered His Kingdom in with his power but He prefer to draw us to Glory in a counterintuitive way...
