the emancipation of humanity at large. The Borochovist conception of the
Jewish question leads to the conclusion that the only solution to the Jewish
question lies in re-establishing the bond with land from which Jews have been
liberated, through class struggle, much earlier than other people; advancing
the essentially social nature of the problem and its fundamental solution;

ties, as demonstrated in the last section. In the following section, however,
we try to demonstrate the petty bourgeois, non-proletarian class origin of
socialist-Zionism.

bourgeois class origin of Zionism in general. This is to say, in other words,
