I just got into an argument with a Zionist settler who claimed that in the years of austerity after the Entity was established, that it had state ownership of the means of production, ergo it was a socialist state - but that the state's mismanagement led the settlers to shift towards liberal capitalism. The settler interlocutor also stressed that there were ties between the USSR and the Zionist entity.

So basically, what's up with that, and how can I better argue against Zionism, bearing these facts in mind?

Lenin's A Caricature of Marxism and Imperialist Economism was well from 1916 and that expressed that idea, didn't it?

Dunno. Haven't read it. Let me go look it up.

Like a lot of theory, my compehension of it is lacking, but I do remember that our boy did spend some time talking about Norway's independence from Sweden in it, which I found kind of surprising and neat.

Edit: apparently Lenin wrote something dunking on Rosa Lux over Norway, The Right of Nations to Self Determination. That was in 1914.
