>Criticising the policies of the state of Israel does not make you an anti Semite or a self hating Jew. Israel expelled hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 1948 and massacred several villages. It is illegally colonising the territory seized in 1967. This is all fact. This will lead to conflict.

Hamas do not share your little distinction between Jews and Zionists. Nor does most of the Middle East.

Fact is that Israel is surrounded by countries whose citizens would gladly kill every last one of its own. Regardless of how justified the Israeli state might be, the consequences of its disestablishment and/or capitulating to the "Palestinian cause" would be far worse.

No.

I take a nuanced approach, however. I accept that the USSR/PRC/etc were not Communist. What I say, however, is that all of them BEGAN as genuine attempts to achieve it - whether via Socialism/etc. What I then say is that because every attempt has ended so terribly that it cannot, by any metric, possibly be worth trying.

Then you get idiots (basically Trotskyists) who claim the only reason these attempts failed were due to non-Communist/Western economic measures that were taken in opposition. In essence, "If Communism had taken place worldwide, it would have worked!"

As if it is reasonable to demand or expect this of the world, much of which has undeniably benefited from Capitalism (as Marx even admitted) - but that's Marxists for you.

Foucault said it best: Marxism outside of the 19th century is like a fish out of water.

Yeah, he actually likes Buddhism.

I can't recall exactly what he thought of it, but it was something along the lines of 'respectable nihilism' (in that it can be respected/admired). He definitely felt it was superior to Christianity.
