how is jesus anti capitalist this guy was going around spewing imperialist propaganda.
The de'il, no
He wasn't pro-imperial, as much as he was an active pacifist, and perhaps subversive against the established Pharisee order (tho his actions in the temple, against commercializing his father's house of prayer was somewhat militant)
But as much as he may be relatively progressive for his time, his message is co-optable, especially when the Romans took up his movement to justify their empire
Besides, he lived in a slave society, not a capitalist society... (are you a dullard?) How would he oppose something that did not came yet?
my point was not that he was pro capitalist but that he would be, since again he went around spreading imperialist propaganda. Liberals today give all kinds of lip service about billionaires being to rich and shit or corporations being too powerful and then turn around and show their true colors when it comes to the global south. And the reality of how he has been used to justify imperialism right before it became capitalism and while capitalism existed and today leaves very little doubt about what his teaching were all about.
