The original Zionists were very far left. They established the kibbutz (work commune ) system that still exists today .
@AthrillatheHunt The kibbutz is Socialist, yes, but is neither leftist, nor new, it has been part of their culture going back thousands of years. I should add that Amish settlements are technically kibbutzes based on the Israeli models of them, and they are far from Leftist.

@NativePortlander1970 regardless of the words they use to describe themselves, people living in kibbutzes are living socialist lives. I should know. I lived on one .
We call ourselves a democracy when we are in fact a republic .
