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’’.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. It’s tragic. A reliance on big government has not served the Jewish people well at all throughout history.
