Perhaps this should lead you to reconsider the validity of Bookchin's anarchist bonafides, and perhaps the legitimacy of liberal "anarchists" overall.
Yeah, I have no idea of who he is, but anarchist explicitly don't want states while zionism is all about a state. Unless I'm missing something, those are contradictory ideologies.
So, bookchin was a liberal now?
Anarchism is liberalism. The fetish for 'autonomy' is the highest ideal of Liberal personal freedom.
How many level of irony is your user name, then?!?
Lmao get fucked
Also the only link in that article is dead.
It's literally not; the link to his essay is active and it's included in full in the article, but I'm going to embed it here in case anyone else is going to be as intellectually lazy as you.
Did you even read it?
It's a good (if dated) analysis of the situation in my view.
It does not focus on the Jewish atrocities and colonialistic ambitions (getting only brief mention in 2 or 3 places), which I am guessing is due to it being a response to some prevailing media (or left-wing?) sentiment at the time.
Can I take that point of view without being labelled pro-Israel or pro-All The Shit, Havoc, And Crimes That Israel Has Wreaked Over The Years?
