Were the philosophies of Christ more right-wing or left-wing?

Strictly speaking, Jesus' philosophy was extremely right wing because he favored a rigid social hierarchy with God on top, good humans & the angels in the middle, and demons & bad people on the bottom. God holds all the power and everyone else is both morally and legally obligated to obey and devote themselves to him.

However, Jesus was opposed to humans using violence against each other under any circumstances, which implicitly makes him an anarchist, and he also considered it deeply immoral to hoard wealth. On an interpersonal level, Jesus was about as far left as you can get, at least outsie of social issues. He believed that women should be somewhat subserviant to men, but notably less so than the mainstream beliefs of his time.

@Emosaur I wouldn't agree, he did command the slaves to do their work diligently, but masters to not mistreat their slaves. And expoused freedom unless the slave wanted to stay such.
