Summary
The Jewish socialist movement as Dowty presents it in Chapter 3: the brand of Jewish socialism devised along non-Zionist lines, seeking Jewish autonomy in existing places of residence (The Jewish State: A Century Later, lines 815-850).
Details
- With the establishment of the Bund a brand of Jewish socialism was devised, but along non-Zionist lines: the Bund sought to achieve Jewish autonomy in existing places of residence, largely through the revival and democratization of the classic kahal (The Jewish State: A Century Later, lines 830-850).
- Dowty places the Bund as the step before the synthesis of socialism with full-blown Jewish nationalism — a synthesis, he notes, that had actually been taken earlier by Moses Hess in Rome and Jerusalem (1862) and was completed by Ber Borochov (1905) in Labor Zionism (The Jewish State: A Century Later, lines 840-860).
