Not owning anything doesn't make him a socialist. His disciples and other followers did own property as he spent time in both the homes of Simon Peter and two sisters, Mary and Martha. He didn't tell either of those to dispose of their property. He didn't call for the dissolution of the family or for communes. He did predict families would be torn over him. Jesus did love all people regardless of ethnicity or class but that has nothing to do with socialism. The father of socialism, Marx, was a hate-filled racist and antisemite himself. Though his ancestors were Jews who'd converted to Christianity, he didn't consider himself Jewish and wrote one antisemitic tract and he called LaSalle, a French Jewish leftwinger with frizzy hair, a "nigger Jew". Jesus didn't launch a revolt of any kind. The remarks about turning the other cheek, being a laborer, teacher .... are irrelevant having nothing to do with being a socialist.
