I dont think Jesus was political at all.
Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars (pay your fucking taxes, indeed dont worry about external power) render unto God that which is Gods (this is what you should be concentrating your energy on).
Jesus turns tables at the Temple because the Temple had become a political-economic center rather than a place of God, much like many Christian evangelical institutions in our day. Many are nothing more the Christian casinos selling spiritual luck.
To my mind the closest political ideology to Jesus would be pacifist anarchism.
I am not saying that works in the real world, after all Jesus did end up on a cross.
But I will lend the man the dignity of his own his own words and life.
Probably the most concise and accurate description I've seen on an MB.
