No

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
 
10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.
11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.


But Judas was a Democrat:


John 12:4-8

4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected,
5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages."
6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial.
8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”


Notice Jesus said "You will always have the poor among you"

5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages."
6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.

Jesus teaching seem more like a moral libertarian to me. 

That things should be done by virtue on ones' own self, not govt dictate, mandate, and force.

Communism is an evil ideology and only works are the barrell of a gun or tip of a bayonet.

Yeah then the church took over and made it a crime not to have Jesus's spiritual health care.

I don't think Jesus would have been thrilled with having people be forced at the pointo a centurions' gladious sword buy into ascam like health insurance that was forced on the people by Caeser ad run by corrupt people in the Roman Senate.

But that is just my .02.

Not at all.  There is no such thing as free.  Only in liberal la la land are things thought to be "free".

Jesus voluntarily gave many gifts, bread, fish, health care, etc. out of his own good will.  He was not forced through taxation to give handouts to the poor, neither did he take from Peter to give Paul.  Jesus never forced others to give to the poor, and even though He was generous, He did not spoil or enable the lazy.

Jesus has taught us to do the same, to voluntarily give generously out of our own good will, and not because we are forced to do so by the government through heavy taxation.

Obamacare is free? There is no cost at all associated with it. Really?
