2. Not to discuss this one at too much length, but Landaur's position in Zionism is pretty vague - there seem to be conflicting reports. On the one hand, it's known that he agreed with an article written which was critical of Zionism (or at least political Zionism), but, on the other hand, he had agreed to speak at a conference concerning the kibbutz movement (though died before he could get there), and was very influential in the kibbutz movement, because he'd suggested people set up communes, so it's pretty ambiguous what his position was. I assume he would have supported many aspects of the kibbutz movement, but probably opposed other streams of Zionism, particularly Herzl's political Zionism. Perhaps he would have held a similar position as Martin Buber (who was a great friend of his, and a member of many of the same political and cultural organisations) in campaigning for a bi-national state, had he only lived long enough. Alas, we'll never know...
Turns out a wrote a shitload of stuff, so I'll do this one as three messages. This is the first bit: Yeah, see, I respect that. I...hate 'ideology' and dogma, I really can't stand those who follow Marx like some kind of demi-god or something, and just assume that every single word he wrote was accurate, and that anybody who contradicted him was wrong...I much prefer free thinkers, even if that sometimes puts you at odds with others. It's not worth sacrificing your ideas just to 'match' others.
We've had a fair number on both counts, actually, both secular and religious. That is, there have been a number of rabbis running around quoting Kropotkin in their sermons and stuff, for example But only a few have really tried to synthesise the two ideas and create a coherent amalgamation of the political and the theological, so I almost feel as if I'm breaking new ground here! Personally, I'd say that I come straight from the tradition of Gustav Landauer, when it comes to politics, though of course the Christian anarchists like Tolstoy have also been influential. Really I just draw this and that from all manner of places, some political, some philosophical, some theological, and just weave them together. It leaves something which is admittedly pretty unorthodox, so I occasionally feel somewhat isolated amongst socialists, but here's to hoping that, in 50 or 100 years, everybody's realised I was right all along!
Let's just call it...my own little synthesis. I've ready plenty of stuff on liberation theology, which has influenced my thinking, but I'd still just call it anarchism, in a form that fits in with Judaism, so that it can more readily be spread amongst religious Jews. And so that I can like it, too, of course!
You've however though adopted a Liberal attitude of pretending that the Northern Alliance in comparison to the Taliban though are 'progressive' when they're blatantly not and are the same Fundamentalists that the Taliban are and in fact are worse than the Taliban themselves as they serve in the interests of the United States and seek to build a Islamic Fortress in Central Asia that will openly accept Economic and Military Imperialism from the United States. Not to mention that afterward any illusion of existing progressiveness will simply be reverted. I find it quite interesting that you 'support' the ALO however, when the ALO were themselves massively slaughtered by the Northern Alliance.
See: http://www.rawa.org/wom-view.html The Northern Alliance are simply the same Fundamentalists that the Taliban are except-- The Northern Alliance are albeit supported by the United States in order to represent the Imperialist Interests of the United States within Afghanistan. They're by no means 'progressive'.
I think its rather humorous how you have your tendency set as Black Panthers, yet at the same time are sympathizing for the actions of Imperialists by considering their actions to somehow be 'Progressive' when inherently these actions are not progressive and are simply furthering the interests of turning Afghanistan into a potentially more militarized version of Pakistan that will ultimately drop the illusion of these progressive actions and serve as the United States military fortress in order to further Imperialism. Rather Counter-Revolutionary to the Black Panther line of politics.
