However, he was pretty clearly against people getting rich at the expense of others which is at the core of capitalism.

How did you know? Which verse says that? Jesus's only issue with the people selling fish were that they were selling it in the temple of God. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared. In the Bible, he has never spoken a word against tax collectors, much less Capitalists. Proof?

You're clearly behind on your mysticism. Jesus did not believe the temple was a physical place. Jesus believed every person could commune with God where previously to speak with god you had to do it in the holiest of holys which could only be found in the temple. Essentially saying that God resides in people and people are the temple and they only have to pray to be able to speak directly with God.

Or some shit like that.
