“It is utterly inconsistent with Torah to espouse political views that are found on the modern political left. ”
Providing generous support for the poor is mandated in Yerushalmi Peah and codified as binding halahchah on all communities by Rambam. That is political left today.
Bava Metzia and Chosen Mishpat describe some pretty draconian regulation of businesses. That is political left today.
Next Shabbat we will hear about shemittah and yovel. That is much further left than even today’s political left would go today.
And our communal leaders have always advocated for governmental support for our communities’ needs. Also political left.
Not everything the political left supports today is consistent with Torah, but much of the political right today would destroy all of this.
