“Jesus wasn’t a socialist. He actually fed people”
It is often claimed that Jesus was a socialist. Conservatives countered this with a meme: “Jesus wasn’t a socialist. He actually fed people.”

He actually fed people” was posted on Facebook by Gregory Hilton on October 15, 2019. “Jesus wasn’t a #Socialist. He fed people” was posted on Twitter by Good Boy on October 21, 2019. It’s uncertain where the meme was started.
Wikipedia: Feeding the multitude
In Christianity, the Feeding the multitude is two separate miracles of Jesus reported in the Gospels.
The first miracle, the “Feeding of the 5,000”, is the only miracle recorded in all four gospels (Matthew 14-Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6-Mark 6:31-44; Luke 9-Luke 9:12-17; John 6-John 6:1-14).
The second miracle, the “Feeding of the 4,000”, with seven loaves of bread and fish, is reported by Matthew 15 (Matthew 15:32-39) and Mark 8 (Mark 8:1-9), but not by Luke or John.

The Huffington Post has an article praising Bernie Sanders and claiming Jesus was a socialist. People who say that haven’t read the bible or don’t understand it. Most of the time they are not people who believe in Jesus, and they’re just using him to further their agenda.

The best evidence that Jesus wasn’t a socialist is that he occasionally fed people

Ah yes, how can we forget when Jesus price gouged all the bread and fish in order to turn a massive profit? A true capitalist
