Description

"Borochov foresaw the struggle of oppressed peoples as a necessary and lasting factor in the formation of a new social order.

The economy of the Jewish nation is that of a nation in exile. Jews are centered around secondary occupations; they are excluded from the primary level of production: agriculture, mining, heavy industry. They work more often as merchants, in services, and as workers in the secondary industries (food, clothes, etc.) They desire to penetrate the higher classes. As individuals they may succeed in doing so but as a nation they cannot succeed. The assimilation of the Jews is not an accident but an attempt to be absorbed into the 'bourgeoisie'."-- Ber Borochov
