Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus
Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days agoHe was a cult leader opposing status quo in an authoritarian empire. It’s kind of a tough position, I imagine he used whatever was practical and contradicted himself a lot.
The core part of what he preached was very progressive for the time and place. Later, as it usually goes, it got coopted and lost 98% of its bite (imo)

Which part of status quo did he oppose? Personal wealth, yes, but that tends to be a common cult leader position. That followers should give everything to the cause.
Other than that Jesus commanded to render unto ceaser what belongs to ceaser.
