What I’m saying is that its difficult to apply modern economic theory to someone from 2 thousand years ago.

I give a co-worker a spare energy drink doesn’t make me a Communist, but my selling some 3d prints doesn’t make me a Capitalist necessarily either – at least not in an ideological sense. Although I most certainly am a Capitalist – my point is more that a single action doesn’t necessarily dictate what I believe because even if I was a Communist, I don’t live in a Communist state so I’d be in practical terms a Capitalist whatever I personally believe in.

Also, in the legends, Jesus feeds the poor using magic, so it sort of invalidates its relationship to economics anyway. If you can summon an unlimited amount of food for free, the dynamics of the marketplace change dramatically. It’s more like Star Trek economics at that point.
