The point is to realize the imperative of self-labor in the sense of
petty commodity forms of production (i.e., the rule of the co-operative

wage-labor only” in the capitalist sector of the Yishuv, given the abundance
of "free" native labor created by the other twin principle of Zionist
colonization, namely, "conquest of land".
"Self-labor" in the sense of petty commodity form resolves another
contradiction inherent in the Labor-Zionist strategy, as an essentially ter-
ritorialist strategy: the conquest of land.
Although indispensable for creating a Jewish social formation, the
site for Jewish class formation and class struggle, the conquest of land,
on another level, stands in contradiction with Jewish proletarianization as
a strategic objective and a prerequisite for Jewish class struggle, and
hence, the emergence of a bourgeois State.
This is really the contradiction inherent in "colonization through
class struggle", the Borochovist strategy for implementing the Zionist
idea; a basic contradiction in socialist Zionism. A conquest of the land
