I'm also not a Christian, but I don't think Jesus was supportive of a massive monopoly on the initiation of violence, regardless of the aims it claimed to be striving for.
Saying that there are things people should be doing with their property is very different from saying it isn't actually theirs.
I would have to agree with you on the massive monopoly non-support by Jesus. He also was good with self-defense to the point where he advised people to sell their fancy garments to purchase a sword. AFAIK, he only boosted for charity, not state ownership of all property, so, he was by no means a communist.
A lot of people read a lot of differing things into the New Testament, that may or may not be there, except through interpretation.
