With Christianity today promoting Individualism and Free Market Principles, it is interesting to note that many in the 19th Century felt that Jesus was a Socialist or a Communist. These are their words.

The Social Ideals of the Lord's Prayer by Perry James Stackhouse 1916 ("Indeed, the teaching of Jesus is so much in the opposite direction that some have argued that Jesus was a Socialist, a labor leader, a champion of the poor and outcast against the privileged classes of his day.

The Communist Newspaper 1868 ("There are hundreds of texts in the Old and New Testaments inculcating Communism.

It inveighs against the rich and riches, against usury and avarice—it exalts the poor.")
Principia or, Basis of social science By Robert Joseph Wright 1876
("The sermon on the mount, and many other of Jesus discourses and sayings and injunctions, seem applicable only to a true Christian Commune; and such is what Jesus seems to have had in his mind,")
Christian Socialism by M Kaufmann 1888

Jesus the Demagogue, article in The Contemporary Review 1873 ("From His occasional freedom with certain swine and asses, and from His scant respect for the rights of property as represented by the sacrilegious money-changers in the Temple, the large inference is drawn that Jesus was a Communist; and this conclusion is strongly backed by appeal to the short-lived experiment in voluntary and partial communism made by the primitive Church.")
Christianity Explained by F Hyren 1870 ("Jesus was a true and perfect free-lover, Socialist or Communist, and taught free-love both by precept and by example. He had neither wife, nor family, nor property, nor house, nor any place to lay His head to rest thereon; and He commanded His disciples to forsake all things and to follow Him.")
Christianity and Democracy, article in Brittan's journal 1873 ("Jesus was a communist. He and his disciples had a common purse, and not one of them had exclusive property in anything.")
Correspondence in the Flaming Sword 1894 ("Jesus was a communist, and taught communistic principles—having all things in common. Competism is of the Devil; it must and will be destroyed in the coming revolution, and in its place will be established Commercial Equation.")
Thoughts on Individuality, article in the Christian Science Journal 1905 ("It has bean said that Jesus was a socialist. It is possible to think of the great Teacher as a metaphysical socialist, but he was never a politician, and none of his words had any direct bearing upon the then existing political parties. He carefully eschewed any entanglements of that nature. Socialism, as he taught it, if it can safely be called by that much-abused name, was a religion, not a political expedient.)
What is Socialism, article in The Painter and Decorator magazine 1913
("The Encyclopedia Britannlca says: "The ethics of Socialism are closely akin to the ethics of Christianity, If not identical with them." Prof. R. P. Ely says: "It Is applied Christianity—the golden rule applied to everyday life." F. G. Peabody, professor of Christian morals in Harvard University, says: "Jesus was a Socialist, if judged by his teachings."")
What is Christian Socialism by W Bliss 1890 ("Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor's good."— St. Paul. "Every Christian who understands and earnestly accepts the teachings of the Master, is at heart a Socialist, and every Socialist, whatever may be his hatred against all religion, bears within himself an unconscious Christianity." — Prof. Emile De Laveleye.)
Christian Socialism in England 1903 by A Woodworth
Renan's Life of Jesus 1897
"He never considered the earth, or the riches of the earth, or material power, as being worth any thought; he had no worldly ambition."
A Review of the 'Vie de Jésus' of Renan by John Brown Paton 1864 ("M. Renan may fairly attempt to explain by the communistic teaching of Jesus, and Jesus is the Ebionite or Communist, whilst St Luke is acquitted of any charge,—save that of truthfulness:—or the fact did not take place, when he may be impeached with graver crimes than Communism;—but then Jesus may be saved the reproach and ignominy of propounding foolish doctrines of social economy, imputed to Him in order to account for a fact, which St Luke it appears fabricated in order to accredit and further his own peculiar notions.")

The History of the Origins of Christianity by Ernst Renan 1875 Volume 2 ("The decay of the Church at Jerusalem was, indeed, rapid. It is natural that institutions founded on communism should enjoy at the beginning a period of brilliancy, for communism involves always high mental exaltation; but it is equally natural that such institutions should very quickly degenerate, because communism is contrary to the instincts of human nature.")
Socialism and communism in their practical application by Moritz Kaufmann 1883 ("Although the practice of Communism was given up for practical reasons, or died a natural death, there still remains the spiritual, the living principle, which existed in this effete practice of the early Church. The noble idea underlying that system is the "great secret" of Christ's religion, the unpalatable doctrine of unselfishness and self-sacrifice; or, in our modern phraseology, it is the doctrine of Altruism as opposed to Egoism; in a higher sense, the principle of Christian Socialism as opposed to un-Christian Individualism—not the Socialism of the Socialists, but the social theory formulated by St. Paul in his Epistle to the Philippians")
