not entirely disagreeing, but I would say his ideas apply to how people treat other people. Forms of government dont always advocate for the positive treatment of others. Socialism can be positive or negative, it's all up to the people implementing it.

and before anyone says it, no, Christianity can't be used for evil as equally as good. People do bad thing in it's name, but in doing so they're doing the opposite of what he taught. If you do bad things in the name of socialism, its just bad things in the name of socialism.

Given the choice between a capitalist society and a socialist society Jesus would have gone socialist.

I would say he wouldn't support any form of government. But that's just my opinion.
