  • Sorry I don’t speak academese. It’s conservative in the sense that Zionism chose to conserve reactionary ideas in favor of perusing a more libratory political path that was available at the time, while using the cloak of progressivism. Herzl himself said he wanted to use Marxist economics in the new Jewish state even though I have no idea how you can use Marxist economics without pursuing liberation for all. As I said I couldn’t get past the first couple of pages of Judenstaat because it pissed me off.



  • Fascism isn’t just a term for people doing bad things though I hate to be that guy, but it was a distinct movement that started in the 20th century. Doesn’t excuse any of the atrocities committed but colonialism was initially carried out by European monarchs most white people didn’t get to vote for that. White people were constantly reconstituting their philosophical systems to explain why they actually had the right to enslave and exploit people. Shit goes back to the ancient Greeks.



  • Sadly Zionism always assumed the displacement of other people, so that some could build their paradise, it also gave up on the idea of building paradise together with other people, rather then a walled garden just for a single people. It’s a fundamentally conservative ideology that assumes that the basic principles of the enlightenment that all people are equal, and that people have the ability to change are false. Read Judenstaat by Herzl I found it to be a very cynical take on things and I couldn’t finish it.


  • His point isn’t that stupid though, would you rather be 70 and have grown up in Gaza or be 70 in a none apartheid state. Obviously everybody wants to live as long as possible. Either way I kinda don’t care about the 1940s and why people are so obsessed with arguing about them is beyond me especially since I’m not an academic. We have our very own unique set of political problems we have to deal with now.
