Capitalism wasn't a thing back then but don't let the subtleties and context of the events stop you from your conclusion that Jesus would not like capitalism because he clearly would not on any level think it is OK.

Noooo, Jesus loves America and guns. Why else would he give Joe football the ability to make a sports point?

Right?! White Jesus is the right Jesus, and my Jesus teaches 'Don't care, got mine.'

yeah based on what Jesus did say about wealth, fair treatment of others and community it is reasonable to deduce that He wouldn't have been pro capitalist.

Seriously he's the "if you have two shirts and you see a guy who needs a shirt give him yours" guy. He wouldn't like the "but i need two shirts more than the guy needs one" guy.

Adding on to this.

Oppression of the Poor and Injustice to the Wage Earner are two of the four Sins that Cry to Heaven for Vengeance.

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Jimmy's 5th chapter.
