The reference to assimilation here does not nullify National-Identity, first of all. Integration is possible but not assimilation, especially in the case of the Black Nation.
Assimilation has an historical negative record, considering the various expulsions of the Jewish nationality from the following list; England 1290 France 4x Spain 1492 Germany 1939-45 Poland 1968 Actually, the failure of assimilation as a political policy has produced both the Jewish Bund movement on behalf of the proletariat and the Zionist movement on the part of the petit bourgeoisie. The only reason the Zionist movement appears to be representative of the Jewish People previously is the annihilation of the European Jewish proletariat by the Nazis, which cannot be considered inevitable.

You'll recall that I began our exchange by acknowledging that there was "a Yiddish-speaking community with a common history and culture concentrated in Eastern Europe which corresponded to the modern definition of a nation", as did Marxists and other socialists you refer to above. However, it was subsequently and tragically destroyed in the Holocaust, and its remaining survivors dispersed to other lands where they, and especially successive generations, adopted the language and other elements of the culture of their new communities in the US, Argentina, western Europe, South Africa, the Yishuv in Palestine, and elsewhere. The children and grandchildren of Irish, Italian, Chinese, and other immigrants underwent the same process of assimilation while often retaining a sentimental attachment to the ancestral culture which was inculcated from birth in much the same way as loyalty to the home town sports team was transmitted from generation to generation. _._,_._,_ _____ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
