Since class struggle occupies such a centrality in Borochovism and dis-
tinguishes it from all other postulates of Zionism, and gives Borochovism its
socialist mask, it is imperative for our analysis to re-examine and unravel
the real context of the class struggle that Borochov attaches to his Zionism.
(a) The Borochovist Notion of Class Struggle:
Correctly identifying class struggle as the means to achieve both Zion-
ism and socialism, Borochov incorrectly concludes the essential unity of the
latter. There is an essential difference in the content of class struggle
peculiar to each of the two contexts. The difference is not merely between
an engineered class struggle proposed for the realization of Zionism, for
giving rise to a bourgeois State, and an historical class struggle emerging
from an already existing social formation, not from a potential one yet to be
established. The main difference is, indeed, between class struggle in the
pursuit of a bourgeois State, as in Borochov's Zionism, and class struggle in
the pursuit of a proletarian alternative, that is, for imposing the dictator-
ship of the proletariat, culminating in the withering away of the State.
The notion of class struggle claimed to distinguish Borochovism as a
socialist Zionism is precisely the notion that, in actuality, distinguishes
Borochovism as capitalist Zionism, and more accurately, as scientific capital-
ist Zionism, that derives precisely from historical materialism. Yes, Boro-
chovism is the scientific approach to the development of a bourgeois Jewish
State, the key to which is Jewish class struggle which can only exist in a
Jewish social formation dominated by a capitalist mode of production. Boro-
chovism is invertedly derived from historical materialism; specifically, from
the Marxist theory of the State. It provides the prescription which guaran-
tees the definitional viability of the State-to-be as Jewish and as bourgeois,
