I see that you are still confused about what socialism is. You are still able to choose who you work for and whether or not you start your own business under socialism.
You seem to be confusing socialism and communism.

Designed, produced and made affordable the computer you typed that on.

Capitalism produces nothing, it suppresses and controls resources.
Capitalism did not produce the computer, it only keeps it from being fully developed.
Is it only a coincidence that technological improvements come around on a regular basis?
Very convenient for helping to keep making money on a regular basis. Technological improvements based on markets, not on what would really help us.
Capitalism produces nothing, it destroys.
Everyone has to come to their own understanding of Jesus, of course, and I doubt that He himself would have advocated any particular political affiliation or party. His teachings were meant to be universal in their application.
Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's

A much better case can be made that Jesus was an anarchist.

Not even Jesus could make socialism work. I will sit and be paid the same as you for breaking rocks 12 hours a day! see how this fails?
