Even in the voluntary world of transactions, the attitude, both prevalent and correct, is: What have you done for me lately? Rashi (Breishis 13:3) וילך למסעיו, כשחזר ממצרים לארץ כנען היה הולך ולן באכסניות שלן בהם בהליכתו למצרים למדך דרך ארץ שלא ישנה אדם מאכסניא שלו conveys a weak obligation of “customer loyalty”.

Vote for the lesser evil, vote to avenge the innocent, vote for nobody… whatever. But to go against your own interests?!

The Nazis were not far-rightist but far-leftist!

Wikipedia lies:

The National Socialist German Workers’ Party, commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party, was a far-right political party in Germany that was active between 1920 and 1945, that created and supported the ideology of Nazism. Its precursor, the German Workers’ Party, existed from 1919 to 1920… Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois and anti-capitalist rhetoric, although such aspects were later downplayed in order to gain the support of industrial entities and in the 1930s the party’s focus shifted to anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes.

If socialism isn’t on the Left, what is?!
