Jesus never ran for Office, but he did tell the rich people in Matthew that they should give away their possessions, and that it's easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than get into heaven. And he did tell the Jews to pay their taxes to an occupying army that literally crucified their people. So I think it's pretty obvious that if you wanted a people and their government to reflect Christian values they should help the poor. Are you a Christian?

Then there is the anachronism that there is a clear distinction, a bright dividing line, between government and religion. That is also a modern age conceit. Ancient Judea and Israel were theocracies as were many ancient civilizations.
I agree that any literal analogy between Marxist theory and the Gospel of Luke/Acts is fraught with peril, which is why I tried to qualify my analogy as imperfect, but perhaps should have done a5 better job doing so.

the current American Mega church system is not very concerned with what Jesus would have done

What? That wasn't a disciple, that was a rich man, a ruler, asking how to be more Christ like in front of others. The rich man says I have followed all the rules but how do I guarantee I get into heaven?
It is you that is lying about the contents. Read for yourself Luke 18:18-29 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...18&version=NIV
