someone’s probably gonna call me a zionist for this, but zionism is complex as fuck, and it’d be foolish if we acted like the bourgeois french jew who wanted to build vineyards in 1860 and the religious hungarian jew who wanted to go study torah in 1890 and the militantly marxist russian jew who wanted to create communism in 1920 and the assimilated german jew who would go anywhere to survive in 1940 were all doing the same thing for the same reasons and can easily be defined as what herzl said or what israel did. i’m not advocating any of this—just pointing out that folding all of these people across centuries into such a simple definition won’t produce any worthwhile analysis about zionism nor palestine

@class-struggle-anarchism absolutely, it seems completely absurd to me to suggest that po’alei tziyon—militantly dedicated to class struggle—and the baron de rothschild had a single thing in common besides wanting jews to be in palestine
