Again, everything Jesus taught eventually pointed in one direction. Salvation. And this is an INDIVIDUAL concept and has absolutely nothing to do with the government, or any kind of political party or way of governing.
If you want to open that can of worms you could go to the ridiculous length of saying that its actually a sin to have a certain political viewpoint.

It wasn't nearly as 1 dimensional of a paper as that. Just like how Charles Darwin cannot be attributed with fascism, you can still point to how aspects of his teachings have inspired extreme nationalism despite not having a personal interest in governments. The teachings of Jesus do mimic the ideals of eary socialists.
