I totally agree with your assessment of Davidson. He's a textbook clero-fascist. But I must object to your long-standing misinterpretation of Jesus' message.

For starters, and if anything, he was not apocalyptic in the sense of destruction of the world but in the sense of the true meaning of the word "apocalypsis" which means "to reveal" or "to disclose". If you, per chance, point to his prediction of destruction of Jerusalem which his followers would live to see, and subsequent spread of Jesus' ideas -- well, around 30 CE anyone with common sense could see that if things in Judea remain as they are Romans will eventually raze the place to the ground. Naturally, it was literally the end times for Jews. And Jesus' message, which merely revealed the non-dual core of Judaism (that was corrupted back then and still remains corrupted to this day), indeed, spread. Distorted, but anyway.

Contrary to your claims, Jesus was also not focused on afterlife. He just stressed that while you prioritize "worldly matters" (wealth, social standing, even family) before knowledge of God (i.e. self-realization), you cannot "reach enlightenment". Obviously, as what you whish for is what you get because that's what you work toward. See also Mark 12:18-27 where he clearly states what e.g. the true resurrection really means -- God is God of the living not God of the dead. Hardly a statement of someone venerating death and afterlife. And mind you, the recorded Jesus was no ascetic, he was a party man.

Moreover, Jesus is not recorded to say that poor should rule over rich. In fact, when the mother of two of his disciples asked to, "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom,” he replied that, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant [...]"

Etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
