If the Jews are a people who became a nation because of a religion, it would not be the first time in world history. Whether they are a nation now has been a matter of debate. Advocates for the emancipation of all the oppressed have long regarded the situation of the Jews in Europe and throughout the world as worthy of special attention. Marxists such as myself, of couse, hope that all who identify as Jews will eventually come to see the superiority of the revolutionary path to justice over the religious one, which vainly hopes that every man and woman will one day clutch the coat of every Jew (or Muslim) and say, "Teach us your G-d!" The religious aspect is one that is being buried under a more pressing question, however. The left has sometimes been tempted to de-class those workers in the colonial populations, blinded by its zealousness for the doubly oppressed among the colonized. To make distinctions regarding class identification based on ethnicity, culture, or what is unscientifically termed "race" only benefits the oppressors. Hopefully the people of Atzlan will eventually tire of using the term as a rallying cry, and we can consign it to the real racists. More to the point, it is high time that serious people re-evaluate the positions they hold on transnational peoples. It is a matter of historic logic that ethnicity and culture will more and more come to supercede physical borders as the mark of national identification, and eventually, if intermarriage is allowed, culture alone. Already the process is well underway. Men and women have no higher calling than to serve as conduits of wisdom, so let me express the hope that I and those who are meeting in the Assembly of the Jews are serving that purpose. Jewry is more than religion! Zionism must be overcome! Yidn, vacht oif!Atlanta Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731574644449276796noreply@blogger.com
