    As I understand, it was a mistake that was caused by the reading that the kibbutz based society of Israel would offer the possibility for the rise of a socialist movement, but when it was clear that it was a mistake the Soviet Union rejected Israel and supported Palestine

      Is there a good book or essay you recommend on the topic that would further educate? I’ve been working to learn more about history that isn’t just the imperial core garbage I was raised on.

        I wish I had, I’ve heard this argument on a livestream of a communist historian from Brazil, the guy is a very reliable source so I feel alright mentioning the argument but I have no further literature unfortunately
