Where does Jesus say "It is okay for the government to violate my teachings"? Where does he say "I want society to follow these rules, but I want the governments who control society to do the exact opposite."?
Hitler was a socialist. Would Jesus had supported him? There are many others --"democratically elected" socialist even, who have gone on to kill thousands and millions of people.
When governments implement socialism, its based entirely on theft of money from people who work hard to earn it, and redistributing it (after they take a nice size chunk for themselves of course) the way the governments sees fit, not the people. There is nothing Godly in that or even close. It "feels" good to the over-emotional but ignorant souls like yours an other statist, Fred. But it does no good and never has.
