Personally I don’t buy the “left-right” split. The convergence between the “far right” and “far left” is evident when comparing The Guardian to Stormfront as cifwatch have recently done. The truth is, political opinions are more like a circle than a line with a left and right.

The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then . . . passed away. The Greek and the Roman followed. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts. … All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality? — Mark Twain

“remembered that the Soviet Communists sacrificed much to defeat Hitler and some holocaust”
No need for the knee jerk reaction. This is simply an explanation of why some Jews might have leaned toward the left in the west, combined with anti-semitism prevalent among the right (hard to deny that)and left(ie democrats particularly in the south) Totalitarian regimes, whatever you choose-fascism, communism, monarchies whatever . . . they will kill & kill & kill. Please do not think I support communism. The point is to understand peoples motives–for example why someone who is jewish might be liberal.
I prefer the libertarian US constitutional route. By the way, are not Sweden and Iceland socialist in nature. Did they have genocide?

“remembered that the Soviet Communists sacrificed much to defeat Hitler and some holocaust”

Pray tell, what happened to Soviet Jews ? Just wondering. They weren’t, by any chance, attacked by communists ? Oh wait, right, they were ! Even more died than Hitler ever killed … whoops.

Yes it should be remembered how the Soviets treated the Jews. As another argument exposing the rotten core of what is “leftism”, socialism and communism. Yes it should be remembered how the Soviets treated the Jews. What better way to show that Hitler was only “right” in the sense that he was slightly more right than Stalin, far to the left of any rational person’s ideology ?

Yes it should be remembered how the Soviets treated people, first Jews, gays, dissidents and other “undesireables” (for a lefty), and then everyone. It should be remembered how much death the left caused in the 20th century. It should be remembered that a BILLION people fell under the sword of “social justice”.

The treatment of Jews (and gays, foreigners, dissidents, and everyone else) by the Soviets, and all socialists, should be a BIG warning, one of many illustrations of what socialism leads to.

It should serve as a reminder that a lefty is one of 2 things : a malevolent and jealous thief, fortunately powerless (at the moment), or a total buffoon.

The treatment of Jews by the Soviets should serve as a reminder for any and all rational people. Of what lefties are, and what all forms of leftism, socialism and communism bring.

The two parties have had anti-semites. Anti-semitism existed among the left and right as did many, many other sins. Historically, it might be remembered that the Soviet Communists sacrificed much to defeat Hitler and some holocaust victims that lived, loved Stalin for that alone, despite his equal standing or almost so morally with Hitler.
Joining a political party is a matter of survival for the politician. It’s like joining a gang in prison.You have two choices. If you don’t choose one, you’re going to have a hell of a time getting elected or even being allowed to debate.
The parties overlap in the center somewhat. What makes the divide seem wider is the politician’s loyalty to the gang( I mean party).
The only ones that have truly not been anti-semitic have been the libertarians–the true liberals. Funny thing, they are somewhat tolerated in the Republican party concerning economic and political issues. They are somewhat tolerated in the Democratic party concerning social issues. They don’t really have a home and a third party is really not the answer because most people can’t be that liberal–again the true liberals are libertarians (also the most conservative)

Not that I have any real hope that this comment will remain here, leftists feeling absurdly threatened by opposing facts, but here goes.

Centralization :
Hitler – yep Lefties – yep Right – nope

Redistribution (by the state) :
Hitler – yep Lefties – yep Right – nope

ever-increasing Government regulation:
Hitler – yep Lefties – yep Right – nope

Freedom of opinion (ie. no limitations on speech, no matter which feelings get hurt. Obviously this includes racist speech, especially racist in the sense that it discriminates based on political orientation and/or religion/atheism):
Hitler – nope Lefties – nope Right – yep

Destruction of the “materialistic world order” :
Hitler – yep Lefties – yep Right – nope

Expansion of unemployment benefits :
Hitler – yep (first party ever to do this) Lefties – yep Right – nope

Expansion of sick and old-age benefits :
Hitler – yep (another first) Lefties – yep Right – nope

Expansion of study sponsorship :
Hitler – yep Lefties – yep Right – (mostly) nope

Nationalisation of all education – outlawing of religious and other forms of private education :
Hitler – yep Lefties – yep Right – nope

You could go on. But then again I’m already comitting way too much trouble to a post that will simply get deleted – you know – for being true.

No lefty likes the mirror of history.
