Not in the generally accepted understanding. His was not a dictatorship of the proletariat, although the Jews would "take to the barricades" a few decades later. There was also a perception within the ancient world that revolution led to chaos.
So, Jesus constantly speaking of the kingdom of heaven/God or telling his disciples to buy swords were not attempts to rouse support for overthrowing the Roman occupation as you seem to wish have us believe? When did I say anything about a dictatorship of the proletariat? So you're attributing later rebellions to Jesus?
