thereafter.
Moreover, the attempt to maintain two separate economies in Palestine
during the Yishuv, with a closed modern Jewish economy in the midst of the

an essentially capitalist economy transplanted into the heart of an under-
developed one, meant, in fact, the "replacement" of, not co-existence with,
the indigenous social formation. Simply put, there can be no overlapping
social formations in the same place and time (as, for example, the over-
lapping of patterns of relations of production, of modes within a social
formation). When and where Labor-Zionism was implemented it necessarily
meant, in effect, the uprooting or distorting of the indigenous social for-
mation. That is why we tend to assert that socialist bi-nationalism advo-

empty slogan. This does not necessarily imply hypocrisy or insincerity
on the part of its advocates, but perhaps failure to identify the material
prerequisites for such a solution and some ignorance of the actual effects
