Was Jesus a Socialist?

I lived for 13 months in a Greek monastery (near Boston) which is of course the purest form of Communism. I was in a Paltalk Catholic chat filled with southern Republicans and I casually mentioned that I see Jesus as a socialist/communist (because I sincerely do) and one woman got so furious she left the room. From his "render unto Caesar" and "my kingdom is not of this world" I see Jesus as apolitical.  Funny how the Father is described as having a kingdom but Jesus is not often referred to as a prince (although Mary is referred to as Queen.) But then Jesus unity with the Father makes Jesus also a king (of kings. )
