Jesus Christ was NOT a capitalist, he was not a money obsessor or a money lover. And for the record, I am not a socialist, a Nazi, or fascist. Socialism and Nazism are two sides of the same Jesuit coin.
A perfect example proving that Jesus Christ was not a capitalist is found in Matthew 6:24. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus says that you can't serve both God and mammon (money). A new testament Christian either follows God or money, there is no in-between or middle ground.
Matthew 6:24 - "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
The apostle Paul expressed the same mindset and sentiment.
Three of the four gospel accounts make mention of a rich young ruler desiring to follow Christ. Jesus Christ tells the rich young ruler that it's hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25).
