Jesus was a rebel. He was anti-capitalism. He distrusted the wealthy. A lot of what he said lined up well with socialism. He liked the idea of living communally and pooling resources. He didn't like the idea of "owning" and "consuming" a bunch of stuff - he wanted you to give your shit away to people who had none.

He was also a radical Jewish activist according to quite a few Jewish scholars. Christians have totally coopted him, if he did exist in my opinion. And then some, not all, will say Jews are screwed and facing hell. That kinda logic is not in my definition of "evolved".
