The point is to realize the imperative of self-labor in the sense of

"Self-labor" in the sense of petty commodity form resolves another
contradiction inherent in the Labor-Zionist strategy, as an essentially ter-

Although indispensable for creating a Jewish social formation, the
site for Jewish class formation and class struggle, the conquest of land,
