FOOTNOTES
Chapter III
As Engels, for instance, points out, during the decline of the Roman
Republic, the Italian peasants who were expropriated from their land
formed a class of "poor whites" similar to that of Southern slaves be-
fore 1861, a class unfit for self-emancipation. The Gypsies may pre-
sent another example of separation without proletarianization.
K. Marx and F. Engels, On Britain, Foreign Language Publishing House,
Moscow, 1962, pp. 10-11.
Remember the "land enclosure" movement and the violent struggle of
peasants against their separation from the land in the development of
European capitalism.
Karl Marx, Pre-capitalist Economic Formations, edited and with intro-
duction by Habsbawn, New York, International Publisher, 1965, p. 67.

Generally, I disagree with this Hegelian scheme associated, in the
Marxist tradition, with Lukacs: class-in-itself (economic class—loca-
tion) and class-for-itself (class endowed with its own class conscious-
ness = class struggle); the essence of the analysis of social classes
their place in the class struggle; they do not exist independently of
class struggle. This scheme seems, however, appropriate for under-
standing the Zionist practices, its arbitrary formation of a Jewish
proletariat through ideological and material incentives; its approach
to the creation of not only classes, but also class struggle itself.
A Jewish proletariat was to be formed in order for Jewish class strug-
gle to emerge; a Jewish class formation not in, but rather for, class
struggle. This, of course, raises serious questions with regard to
the genuine being of the Israeli Jewish proletariat.. This will be
discussed again in later chapters.
Some Arab oil-producing countries like Kuwait and the Arab Emirates
are probably an exception. Capitalist relations of production were
immediately generalized, in terms of embourgeoisement that applies
only to nationals (e.g., Kuwaitis) and proletarianization that applies
mainly to foreigners (non-Kuwaitis); contrary to the classic settler-
colonial case, here we have an indigenous bourgeoisie with a non-indi-
genous proletariat.
