Utopian, in that they ignore logic in favor of wishful thinking. Anarcho-syndicalism also fits this mold because it, like Stalinism, assumes all social antagonisms can be resolved by "the union." By that logic, anarchist Catalonia should have ended patriarchy, homophobia, and other rigid social structures when it didn't (in fact, women in the Mujeres Libres frequently complained of abuse by anarchist men). But the workers had control of the factories, right?

No.

kill yourself zionist apartheidist imperialist kyke scum

I'm very concerned that even a shitposter might believe this unironically. It seems like the uncritical worship of Israel and the Zionist movement on the Western Left has not died despite BDS and the bad press Israel has gotten lately.

Most of the regimes tankies support are also racialist, especially the DPRK and Ba'athist regimes. There ain't nothing socialist about racial purity, not that Israel is any better in that regard, but still.

USSR was anti-racist far more then Israel or the United States despite their constant propaganda. They created the republic system to deal with the problem of national oppression and racism under the Tsarist Empire.

Let's not delude ourselves by thinking there's any other reason that people would believe Israel got closer to communism then any other country other then the fact that Israel is now considered a wealthy country.

However, in the 50s-60s when the Kibbutzim movement was at its height in Israel the USSR was actually richer per capita. When Israel started to throw off their phony socialist mask they got a lot richer largely thanks to increased Western support.

It's not that the left is "pro-Israel." It's that the left has no idea *how* to deal with this conflict aside from vague buzzwords which don't translate into actions ("abolish Zionism!", "one-state solution!").

In South Africa, the solution was pretty fucking simple given as to how whites only ever consisted of 17% of the population, making them a pretty clear aristocracy. But in the case of Palestine, about half the people between the river and the sea are "genocidal Zionist settler-colonials". Even within the West Bank, the settler population is growing (even though immigration to Israel has gone down in the past year) while the Palestinian birthrate is slowly but surely declining. Even with a one-state solution, how the FUCK is something as crucial as a land reform supposed to be implemented? Those Zionists living in lands they consider holy like Jerusalem, Hebron, Bethlehem, Shiloh, etc. aren't going to willingly give up their lands, not to mention the settlements are almost always plopped on top of the best farming land.

At this point, everything all depends on what the Palestinians themselves do. BDS can only do so much. No one is going to put sanctions on Israel (especially not when the new wave of far-right governments seem more than eager to partner with Bibi), and while boycotts can be effective to some extent, they'll hardly be enough. Remember, the major reason apartheid in SA ended was due to uprisings and boycotts done by *black South Africans themselves*.
