Jesus, the God of Israel in the OT, is generally against theft, abuse of power, corruption, lying, and immorality. Other than that, he took no political positions.

True Jesus did not take political sides, but Socialism is a way of life. Just look at the way Socialists control every aspect of ones life. To them, it is a religion, Just like Islam is both a religion and a way of life.

Now, Christianity is also a way of life, but it is voluntary, no one is forced to be a Christian, whereas under Islam, Socialism, Fascism, communism, and every other authoritarian government the citizens are forced to adhere to the rules under punishment of penalty up to and including prison.

We were not idle when we were with you, 8nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. 10For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

11We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. 12Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat. 13And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.
