Abstract Starting from the peculiar chirality pattern of weak and electromagnetic interactions, established by experiment, we show that the minimal standard model contains supersymmetry, though in a new, unconventional, realization. It appears as an action on the fields but is not an invariance of the lagrangian. This supersymmetry which is not in conflict with experiment, is seen to be the raison d'etre of the Higgs fields and provides a geometrical understanding of spontaneous symmetry breaking. It turns out that this approach which is based on the fundamental role of left- and right-chiral spinor fields in weak interactions, has many similarities to models developed in the framework of noncommutative geometry.
