Jesus would have been a Communist in the purist sense that everything was for the greater good of the society. Jesus felt that the rich should disperse with their wealth and follow him. So in his eyes everyone would be on the same level. He also said to follow kings, which is an example central form of government in a communist society. "Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's. Give to God what is God's." In a perfect functioning communism the resources collected from taxes would be redistributed for the good of the society. Republicans and Democrats are both products of a free and open society.
