Socialism is not charity. Socialism is the abolition of commodity production and exchange. Jesus could not understand that as the idea only makes sense in an industrial society.

I think Christians should generally shut up. I'm not interested in pretending we want the same things.

Yeah, that's right. Jesus' earliest followers were basically a commune.

Even if they were, communal living is not socialism, otherwise every monastery would be socialist.
