dominance, as the capitalist proletariat Jewish class struggle that occupies
centrality in his strategy for the realization of Zionism. His main concern
lies in Jewish proletarianization and Jewish capitalization in Palestine; it
is not so much focusing on the creating of a self-laboring class, i.e., the
restoration of petty bourgeois class-locations undermined by the advancement
of capitalism in Diaspora. This concern is even a determining criteria of
the specificity of the territory to be acquired. Put differently, his con-

"Its economic importance could be in that the new Jewish
society, which will be created in the territory, will serve
as a refuge and a work place for the oppressed Diaspora Jews.
For that purpose, it is necessary that the Jewish immigrants
could, in that territory, reach normal capitalization and
proletarianization and that the competition from the local
bourgeoisie and local proletariat will not push them outside
of the market. Such importance cannot be ascribed, as we
have seen above, to a territory located in the neighborhood
of a cultured society....The territory could also be of inter-
national importance to Judaism, but for that purpose it is
necessary, first of all, that the overriding influence in
the territory be exercised by Jews, and secondly, that our
