Why do people say "the problem is not judaism, it's zionism" as if zionism wasn't a product of judaism, as if judaism wasn't extremely chauvinistic, as if the majority of jewish people weren't also zionists and as if religion was anything but a problem in society? It would be like saying "The problem is not christianity, it's right-wing christian politicians who want to make the country a theocracy!". I understand that some zionists aren't even jewish and that we shouldn't just kill anyone with a religious icon in their homes, but how long can we keep pretending religious extremism is isolated from non-radical religious practice and belief?

The laiety obey the morals while the priests enforce them. As always the monopoly on violence and law enforcement decide who "morals" are really for. Morality is used by the strong to police the weak, but the strong are not expected to be moral. The function of religion is a class function.
>>808174>the freikorps did some shit while the SPD were in the government therefore the SPD did itthis is like saying AOC and Bernie are personally responsible for everything the government does because they are in the government.
>>808211True.
In fact, I think that religion acts like a shield against moral self-reflection
People want to believe in God because they want a metaphysical daddy-husband figure to pamper them
>>808145Zionism is statism, Zionism could theoretically exist in a stateless society if Jews freely choose to congregate in a certain area
>>808265Then that means Easten Europe was a Zionist haven in that sense.
As is NYC and LA.
