Jesus actually teached that everybody deserves to get fed and housed. That everybody deserves healthcare. That people should care for other people in their community. That is essentially the core principles of socialism.

Yes, and that did in fact happen during the early days of the church, until Rome became the center of Christianity. So who won in the end?
It sounds like the state won.
