Bundist Movement message to Marxist-Leninists, Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, & Maoist-Third Worldists

Back to Manual For Revolution

(by Comrade Net Ben-Yahushua, )

Just as WE the Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement have reached out to the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community, making the statement that we did not truly understand Ultra-Orthodox Jewry and that likewise they did not understand us, furthermore we stand in full solidarity with the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community in their stances against Zionism and Assimilation. We do the same for Marxist-Leninists, Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, and Maoist-Third Worldists. It is our position that we did not truly understand Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, that likewise Lenin and Stalin did not understand the Jewish Labour Bund. And so now WE the Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement apologize for not understanding the importance of Democratic-Centralism and the need for Vanguard parties to protect Ideology from Infiltrators and Reactionaries. The Bolsheviks misunderstood the Jewish Labour Bund, thinking we were Separatists, that we were odious. We Bundists are not Separatists, nor are we odious. It was the Marxists parties that recognized Zionism instead of Bundism. The Communists (in the context of both Marxism and Anarchism) have a flaw, this flaw is the idealist embracing of Hegel’s Nation-State Theory. Although it is true that both Marxists and Anarchists wish to be rid of the State and we agree, yet this acknowledgement of the Nation-State has been at the root of many problems in their attempt to overthrow Capitalism.

WE the Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement agree in part and disagree in part with Joseph Stalin’s book ‘Marxism and the National Question’. A Nation is a Culture-plus; sometimes based on Culture and Religion, sometimes based on Culture and Ethnicity. We advocate to replace Nation-States with Federation-States and Democratic Federations. Joseph Stalin understood that Russia was not a Nation but a Country harboring many Nations. The key word to understand in the context of Bundism is Doikeit meaning Hereness; for wherever we are that is Our Homeland. We reject any Country calling itself Israel, because that is the collective name for all of World Jewry. The restoration of the Theocratic Kingdom of Israel can only exist under the conditions of a miracle and in Torah ethics this can only emerge without strife and/or bloodshed, Zionism cannot achieve this.

We do not seek Zionist Utopia we seek Coexistence.

We advocate Auto-Determination over Self-Determination, for example we find that the only way to solve the crisis in Syria is not a Kurdish State, nor do we advocate for U.S Imperialism to replace Bashar Hafez al-Assad with some type of Imperialist puppet. Instead, we call for National-Cultural Autonomy where both the Syrians and the Kurdish can live in Syria with their own self-governing laws recognized in a New-Syrian Multi-National Federation-State, this revelation can only be realized by both Nations within the Syrian-State. Both of the Nations within the Syrian-State must come to understand this on their own terms without influence of Americanism, Zionism, Globalism or any other Imperial contradiction meddling with the crisis.

The Black Panther Party was practicing National-Cultural Autonomy whether they understand that this is what they were doing or not. The basic ideas of Bundism have all been proven correct, however Bundism had never fully developed its own theory beyond the basics it had concluded. In the past Bundism tried to compensate for this by adding either Anarchism or Trotskyism, this has failed. We are now seeing new material hope when we adopt Marxist-Leninist-Maoist and Maoist-Third Worldist theories into Bundism. If anyone Jewish is either Anarchist or Trotskyist and wishes to join the Bundist Movement we say “Welcome” and yet at the same time we will safeguard Bundism from reactionary, dogmatist, and/or revisionist theories that could serve to destroy our right to Auto-Determination as a People-Nation. We will not surrender Our Torah Culture and we will not surrender Our Religious Covenant. We wish to thank Jason Unruhe of the Maoist Rebel News for his alliance with the Bundist Movement. In conclusion all eight members of the Bundist Movement declare that Modern Bundism fits into the political category of Pantherism.

Jewishness Defined

Back to Manual For Revolution

(by Comrade Ben-Yahushua, , March 7, 2018)

English has a uniquely incorrect usage for words relating to the Jewish People.

The word Jew is incorrect as a word.

And in the plural for Jew which would be Jews, this is also incorrect.

Jewish must be used instead of Jew.

Jewish People instead of Jews.

Whenever the words Jewish People cannot fit the flow of a sentence, the word Jewry is best for usage.


Jewishness

Jewishness is the description of what makes someone Jewish.
To go further into context of Jewishness the first question should be asked,
and this question is; What does it mean to be Jewish?

The first point to be made is that Jewish is not a homophone.
Jewish is not whatever you wish it to be.

There are those who are correct in their context of who is Jewish.
And there are those who are incorrect in their context of who is Jewish.


No one is Jewish without Judaism.
Although there are Nonobservant Jewish People.
Nonobservant Jewry do not negate themselves away from Judaism.
There are only two official ways of achieving Jewishness:

The first and more common is, being raised by a Jewish Mother since birth, being brought up with Jewish ideals, Jewish traditions, and Jewish logic.

The second and more difficult is conversion through Orthodox Judaism, and usually this means the Ultra-Orthodox but not always in the Ashkenazi context.

Bundists do not seek to make the entire Jewish People religious, rather Bundists would remind the Jewish People that Nonorthodox definitions of Jewishness are reactionary tenancies of a confused nature, this widespread confusion being dangerous. The Jewish People are clearly one of the most Nonobservant of Peoples in the World, yet this does not allow for Zionism, Occident Secularism, Capitalism, or Americanism to be anything Jewish. The Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement only accepts Converts from Orthodox Judaism, usually from the Ultra-Orthodox strain yet that may depend on the situation as in some cases Converts from the Modern Orthodox strand can be recognized as authentic.

There is nothing sectarian in the context of Jewishness, ethnic backgrounds are not tied to Jewishness, anyone can convert to Judaism if this is pursued well enough and with reason.

The Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement respects Jewish Law, and so typically our political activities are not held on Shabbos nor on High Holidays, of course there are exceptions to this rule.

Jewishness is learned from the upbringing achieved by Jewish Mothers or by acquiring education through Orthodox Jewish Conversion; nowhere else can Jewishness be instituted.

As for the matters of Conservative Judaism, Reconstructionalist Judaism, and Reform Judaism;
the Bundists view these as less observant manifestations of Judaism, the Bundists have three requirements of off-shoot Judaism.

The first requirement is to be more respectful to Orthodox Jewish leadership, the second requirement is outright rejection of Zionism, the third is that the members of these off-shoot versions of Judaism be re-educated to gain an awareness of the correct context and more accurate definition of what constitutes our Nation.

In the past the members of Reform Jewry rejected any claims of Jewish Nationality because Nationalism confuses the proper context of what a Nation actually is.
Taking back Modern Orthodox Judaism from Zionism is the quest of the Bundists.
In the past Bundists and the Ultra-Orthodox clearly did not understand one another.
It is the highest desire of the Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement to build bridges between Jewish Bundists and Ultra-Orthodox Jewry.


Anyone Jewish rejecting the traditions of Jewish ethics and customs should not have the right to claim any Jewishness. If someone is born of a Jewish Mother and yet does not care about his or her own Jewishness, then that person is someone who has defected from the World Jewish Community.

The root level of Jewishness is a type of Consciousness.

It is true that Islam is the closest religious tradition related to Judaism as far as other religions are concerned.

Yet to be clear Bundists hold no tolerance for dual religiosity, religiosity is a matter of orientation.

Dual religiosity is defamatory, if however, someone has been brought up as both Jewish and Muslim, then this is a matter of self-identification and the question of who is the person’s mother. Such persons may be encouraged to convert to Judaism, yet if such a person chooses Islam then there should be no hostility to such a person even though that person has chosen to not take on Jewishness.

Islamic religiosity rejects its Atheists and Agnostics, yet someone born Jewish could be Atheist or Agnostic yet still be grafted onto Judaism. Clearly Atheists and Agnostics are not ideal converts to Judaism, yet those Atheists and Agnostics that have been born of Jewish Mothers tend to take their Jewishness more seriously. The Bundist perspective of being Jewish requires correct conduct, both ethical and liturgical. Liturgical practices for Atheists and Agnostics of Jewish background are highly encouraged as this is the most genuine form of solidarity.

Judaism is a Cultural-Religion, not a race or ethnicity.

Jewishness is not based upon blood as a definition.

Jewish Labor Bund:

JUDAISM IS A CULTURAL-RELIGION – someone born Jewish could be Atheist or Agnostic yet still be grafted onto Judaism. And not being sectarian this is why anyone can convert to Judaism if this is pursued well enough and with reason. Jewish customs are customs of Human Rights and Social Justice. We do not accept a Zionist State putting limitations on us. Israel is NOT a Jewish State. We the Jewish People are a People-Nation (Am Goy)! The Jewish People are NOT a racial or ethnic category.

Manifesto Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement (2019)

Back to Manual For Revolution

Introduction

This Manifesto is a group effort, as we all must speak collectively.
Each of us would have a starting point in the Manifesto;

The new Bund on the old Antisemitism

(Dr abrahim Weizfeld Phd, Chairman of the Revolution)

Antisemitism has more than one dimension.

One is Judaeophobic and the other is Islamophobia. The Jewish People are related to the Arab Nations by virtue of the common founder found in Abraham and their descendants who were first of all Ishmael and then the second son who was Isaac. Traditionally the first son Ishmael carries the heritage of the father as patriarch, but Abraham transmitted his Covenant to each equally, between the mothers of different nationalities. This sense of equality between the matriarchal and the patriarchal components of the emerging society is negated by the Zionist myths of the 20 th Century which ascribed an exclusive heritage to the second son Isaac, the forbearer of the Jewish People – which was founded actually by Moses-Mousa some 400 years later on. Evidently, the Abrahamic tradition is not Jewish in origin but is rather Semitic since his origins were in Mesopotamia in the province of Samaria. Nonetheless, Zionism as ideology propagates the claim to Abraham as having been Jewish nonetheless out of convenience to build the myth of the exclusive right to self-determination in the land of Kana’an.

The objection to the presence of the Jewish and now the Arabic Peoples in the Western Occidental Christian Nation-States is another facet of Antisemitism which is derived from the corresponding ideology of Christianity in the Occidental manner. While we know that the Oriental forms of Christianity are indigenous to the Armenian and Syriac cultures, we are obliged to make the differentiation with the Western forms which assumed that the Jewish adherents were children of the devil for not having adopted the Occidental notion of Yehoshua Ben Yousef as their ‘Lord’ and deity. This fundamental transgression of the monotheistic conception of universality was embellished by the notion that it was not the Romans that carried out the crucifixion but rather the ‘Jews’ even though he was himself Jewish. The propagation of this tenant continued to inspire the pogroms of Eastertime over the centuries until it exploded as the Holocaust or the Chruben (the burning), as we know it to be in Yiddish.

A further dimension of Antisemitism is the newly developed Christian form of anti-Zionism which accepts the basic definitions of Zionism to be representative of the Jewish People as a whole and attacks us for ‘Jewish Supremacism’. Zionism was itself a Christian conception developed during the Reformation to differentiate Jewish residents from those who came to adopt the Christian ideology and its deity as the definition of the Nation. In the drive to form the independent Nation-States in revolt against the centralized Holy Roman Empire, the nationalist ideologies turned against the Catholic Church and the Jewish People as the populist rationale to form each particular identity. The Occidental national identities were formed by definition of the Protestant Churches which continued to preach hatred towards the supposed invasion of the Oriental cultures such as the Jewish People.

Another 20th Century manifestation of Antisemitism was the assimilationist drive of secularism invented in the course of the French Revolution which atomized each individual citizen in its drive to equality defined as sameness, including religion. Jewish French residents were not at first included in such a definition because of the theological criterion. The Occidental theological Nation-State named a Republic only sought to assimilate the Jewish residents during the Napoleonic period and even then only for the purpose of creating a willing population to be exported to the ‘Holy Land’ as a colonization effort on behalf of the French Empire of Napoleon. Likewise, the subsequent radical liberal currents such as Marxism sought to create a homogenous State over Society by banning the Jewish identity and even making synagogues illegal upon the advent of the Russian nationalist and socialist revolution. Currently, this current of thought carries out a campaign to oppose Zionism on the basis that the Jewish People do not exist as a legitimate entity and treat the Jewish identity as if it were equivalent to the Zionist ideology. This Marxist assimilationism is also a manifestation of Antisemitism.

All centrist and leftist versions of Zionism are but a disguise to hide real Zionism which is always right-wing and always fascist in essence. Jewish Zionism is the proxy of Christian Zionism, and not the other way around. The various propositions of Zionism or the return of the Jewish people to the Land of the Kana’an announced by various Protestant currents of thought were named Restorationalism, Dispensationalism and ultimately Zionism. In the context of the English revolution personified in Oliver Cromwell, the proposition for the expulsion of the British Jewish community of some hundreds was launched together with their conversion to Anglicism, the new nationalist religion. Such a proposition followed the initial expulsion of the British Jewish community in 1292 CE, the first European expulsion. The programme of Napoleon to deport the Moroccan Jewish population to Kana’an as colonial agents was never accepted by that community. At this time, we are experiencing the aftermath of the Nazi campaign of national extermination which removed the Jewish Bund as the major anti-Zionist agent in the Jewish political culture and left the Zionist current in control of international Jewish political representation even though previously it only represented 8% of the Jewish Ashkenazi population.

Theodor Herzl was never the most popular Zionist until the time of Meir Kahane the anti-Rabbi

and political reincarnation of the blasphemous Simon bar Kokhba. Meir Kahane the anti-Rabbi took on and challenged the old Herzlite Zionism that had been dimmed out by the contradictory and now largely dead tendencies of Labour Zionism and Religious Zionism. Zionism is inherently anti-Jewish and expresses hostility towards the Torah Culture. Zionism is a Cultural Genocide. Zionism is a war on Jewish Culture and the Jewish Religion.

Zionism is not even Political Judaism because Political Judaism is actually Bundism. Jewish self-haters follow Meir Kahane, the former advocate of the expulsion or the extermination of the Palestinian population. The self-declared follower Baruch Goldstein actually carried out a massacre of 29 worshipers at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Al Kalil – Hevron in 1994. all versions of “humane” Zionism are fronts for genuine-Zionist neocolonial antisemitism, the most genuine form of Zionism is Kahanism a fact that many Zionists try to hide from others and themselves.

While in 1956 the Zionist State of Israel acted on behalf of Britain and France to occupy the Suez Canal upon its nationalization by the Egyptian socialist President Gamal Abdel Nasser, the latest incarnation of the Zionist service in pursuit of Occidental interests is on behalf of the United States of America. The ~4 Billion$ annual subsidy to Israel indirectly supporting the USA’S Military-Industrial Complex is the latest sponsor of the current Western effort to control the spiritual centre of the world as a trophy signifying the triumph of its world domination, in addition to the strategic interest in the military superiority the State of Israel represents in the region to maintain its domination. It is noteworthy to recognize that a number of these MIC corporations were the ones to re-arm Nazi Germany.

Americanism is also Antisemitism. Americanism encompasses all of the other forms of Antisemitism. Americanism is the root of both Nazism and Zionism. Americanism is at the current root of Zionism because Americanism from the time of the Plymouth Rock landing and onward has been Restorationist Protestant fanaticism this being proto-Zionist. Americanism is also the root of Nazism since the Nazis openly talked about dealing with the ‘Jewish Question’ by basing their final solution on how the USA dealt with the First Nations.

In spite of the 2018 Israel law to declare itself as the Jewish Nation-State exercising its exclusive right to self-determination, the actuality is that a majority of the world’s Jewish people do not live in the Zionist State and in addition do not wish to. The resurgence of Antisemitism is a matter to combat and not hide from nor profit from either. As a result, the task of defeating fascism once again must be taken up by the new Jewish Bund due to the default of the Zionist current which only seeks to secure support from those Antisemitic tendencies for its own State and leaves the Jewish people to confront Antisemitism itself and only cares to entice some few to flee into its self-proclaimed ghetto.

This Zionist form of Antisemitism works in compliance if not complicity with those Antisemitic regimes of Europe and the USA which seek to alienate the Jewish populations and secure themselves as Christian Nation-States in an effort to homogenize those societies and impose a theocratic secular dictatorship.

Another form of Antisemitism is the fictional belief in a Jewish ethnic group or some type of Jewish race, this manifests as racism. Antisemitic racism hurts Ashkenazi Jewry in several ways including attacks on Yiddish speaking Culture. Antisemitic racism deeply harms Ethiopian Jewry, Black Jewry, and West African Jewry and sadly it is often both Sephardic Jewry and Ashkenazi Jewry that carries out this racism by denying their Jewishness. Antisemitic racism thus can be manifested against Afro-Nationality by European Jewry. There is no Jewish race or ethnicity only ethnic groups that are predominately Jewish, part of the confusion is that some ethnic groups like Mizrahim, Sephardim, and Ashkenazim had been more or less the results of the banning of Jewish Conversion by various Christian societies. Antisemitic racism can also be manifested against Muslims such as hatred towards Arab Muslims, or even non-Semitic non-Middle East/non-Western Orient Muslims such as the various Afro-Nationalities that happen to be Muslim. Antisemitic racism against Muslims can even be directed at Countries like Pakistan whether or not the person from Pakistan is Muslim or not, this means that the Serbian War against Bosnian Muslims was a direct manifestation of Antisemitism.

Zionism is Antisemitism against Judaism in the Neocolonialist context.

Zionism is Antisemitism against Islam in the Fascist context.

But there is another dimension of Antisemitism which reaches to those Jewish and non-Jewish and that is the fictions about Global Jewish Cabals in the form of Anti-Communism, Anti-Capitalism, and Anti-Zionism. This is evident when considered as a mutation of the Kabbalist literature of Judaism which is used to mystify the Judaic knowledge into a conspiratorial cult of world power mongering, which is merely a personification of the Occidental power seekers.

The resolution of the presence and continuation of the Jewish identity and its original political culture is a parallel to the entire matter of identity politics amongst the various national minorities. The persistence of these national communities in the midst of the Nation-States is a challenge to their hegemony and their efforts to gain an advantage in the geopolitical maneuverings of power politics. The effort to resolve the existence of even the smallest national groupings is inherent to the inter-national permanent revolution which can only be resolved in the socialist revolutionary processes. In order to be fulfilled such socialist revolutions in any given national context must be resolved by the dissolution of their own Nation-States in favour of a Federation of Federations within its own society and within the World Federation of national autonomies. We do not seek a globalist world government but rather the free development of each national formation internally and throughout the world that decentralizes and dissolves power control out of the State and into the hands of Civil Society by way of the freely constituted Constitutional Assemblies in each Civil Society and within each Nation. This method of self-governance in direct democracy is found in the Torah itself when during the wanderings in the Sinai 35 General Assemblies were held with Moshe-Mousa who was never proclaimed a monarch but was always and is still a guide to our social formation.

Americanism is the root of both Nazism and Zionism

(Dona Newman, the Emissary of Solidarity)

Americanism is the root of both Nazism and Zionism. Americanism root of Zionism because Americanism from the time of Plymouth and onward has been restorationist protestant fanaticism this being proto-Zionist. Americanism root of Nazism because Nazis openly talked about dealing with the Jewish question by basing their final solution on how America dealt with its natives.

It is not the mission of the Bundist Movement to make America better, we need to join forces with the Natives who seek America’s abolishment. Most of all we need to have solidarity with the indigenous such as Palestinians and Mexicans. The decolonized Mexicans who inform us that they are not Hispanic or Latino are the ones we need to have the most solidarity with as much as the Palestinians.

We are in Solidarity with the Muslims all over the World who are brutalized by the forces of Capitalism, Americanism, and Zionism. We are in Solidarity with the Arab World and Africa.

We are in Solidarity with the Navajo and the Apache. We are in Solidarity with the oppressed.

However, we should be in solidarity with the First World Proletariat; the Black People who are descendants from the Slaves are the only true Proletariat of the First World.

We need to understand that we must be loyal to the Mexica Movement, the Navajo Activists, and the Bolivarian Revolution of Chavez and Maduro. If we help with the reforms in the First World we are showing ourselves to be unethical. The Mexica Movement and the Navajo Activists are in a Fourth World struggle. The Bolivarian Revolution of Chavez and Maduro are in a Third World struggle.

Bundists And The Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community

(Comrade Net Ben-Yahushua)

Just as WE the Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement have reached out to the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community, making the statement that we did not truly understand Ultra-Orthodox Jewry and that likewise they did not understand us, furthermore we stand in full solidarity with the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community in their stances against Zionism and Assimilation. We do the same for Marxist-Leninists, Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, and Maoist-Third Worldists. It is our position that we did not truly understand Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, that likewise Lenin and Stalin did not understand the Jewish Labour Bund.

Just as WE the Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement have reached out to the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community, making the statement that we did not truly understand Ultra-Orthodox Jewry and that likewise they did not understand us, furthermore we stand in full solidarity with the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Community in their stances against Zionism and Assimilation. We do the same for Marxist-Leninists, Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, and Maoist-Third Worldists.

Judaism is a Cultural Religion

(Uri Adiah, Hannah Toff, Isaiah P. Kamatstein, Marvin Eliyahu, & Miriam Emesberg )

Judaism is a Cultural-Religion not a tribal-Religion, although some sects maintain tribal-tenancies, Judaism is not tribal, this misconception comes from Western Christian supremacists and not World Jewry. This misconception of Judaism as a tribal-Religion is based on a misunderstanding of Jewish history and thus it depends now on We, The Jewish People to explain our history to the descendants of those who have tried to erase it from Western memory.

We the Jewish Nation are a Nation with many Ethnic components.

Both of the religious traditions of Judaism and Islam are rooted in Abraham, this tradition splits off into the Islam of Ishmael and the Judaism of Issac.

The second division of Americanists are the Americanists who deflect all of the sins of America onto Israel, a good number of this division of Americanists openly attack World Jewry and Judaism yet many from this division of Americanists make the claim that they are only Anti-Zionist when in reality these Americanists are Judeophobic bigots who hate Jewry, one of the classic characteristics of this lot is their usage of the fictional Protocols of the learned elders of Zion a book with no credibility to it, these Americanists try to invent the anti-Zionist versions of Messianic Jews for Jesus and Judaized Christianity often placing blame of the Zionist ideology on the Talmud, they do this even though the Talmud has more passages that are seen as Jewish anti-Zionist source material than any other Jewish texts.

Pan-Europeanism

(Isaiah P. Kamatstein)

True Pan-Europeanism calls for cooperation with Pan-Africanism and Pan-Asianism along with removing the indoctrination of Whiteness. Blackness has a distinct characteristic. Whiteness is root-Colonialism, and it is necessary to crush the Alt-Right hijacking of the Pan-European cause. The Alt-Right hijacking of the Pan-European cause turns Pan-Europeanism into its very opposite.

Liberals Misuse Identity Politics

(Uri Adiah, Councilman of National Affairs)

Liberals misuse Identity politics, they exploit it and use it to further their own ends with no regard to how much damage this can cause to the struggle. Marxist-Leninists and Marxist-Leninist-Maoists today have turned against Identity politics, something in higher necessity than ever before, ironically it is Maoist tenancies based largely in Stalin’s work that provided a theoretical platform for Identity politics. The Jewish Bundist Diaspora Movement sees the original Black Panther Party as a manifestation of Identity politics and National-Cultural Autonomy, to deny this would be a type of dogmatism.

The White Book

The work incorporates views and concepts previously put forward by Arabs and Jews alike, in addition to international projects that support and vindicate the solution propounded in this work. No other concept is capable of resolving the problem. The White Book text is presented in the Annex and reflects the views of Saif Al-Islam Al-Kadaffi.
