I realize what I’m about to say can be misinterpreted as anti-Semitic, but it is not. Instead, it is historically accurate. For reasons possibly lost to time, many though definitely not all, Jewish people are firmly on the political left. Although he renounced his Jewish heritage, Marx had Jewish roots. A number of the prominent early communists were Jewish. It is a strain that runs through much of 19th and 20th Century Jewish life in Europe and the U. S. There is also the post WWII lie that the Nazis were on the right politically due to the nationalist component of their views, but the very name Nazi is an acronym for National SOCIALIST German Workers Party - a purely leftist party.
You’re 100% correct. Most Jews embrace socialism as a kind of religion. The nascent state o Israel was a qusai-socialist state and still is. Their ‘’kibbutzim’’ system is a perfect of socialist style living. I think most Jews believe that ultimately government is supposed to be some kind of benevolent father who provides everything to it’s children.
Apparently the Jewish people were unwilling or unable to
understand that government, even one created with the best of intentions is inherently dangerous at the very least. “Government is not eloquence’’ said George Washington, ‘’it is force. Like fire a troublesome servant and a fearful master and as such should never be put into the hands of the incompetent’’.
Doesn’t sound antisemitic to me. It sounds like what it is; the truth.
“A number of the prominent early communists were Jewish”
lol. That might be the most delicate telling of the 20th century I’ve ever read.
