minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-4•1 year agoI would argue that the Colonialism and indigenous eviction evils can be separated from the socialist successes.

minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-2•1 year agoColonialism certainly helped establish some settlements, but is colonialism essential for the survival of the kibbutz system? I don’t think so. For example, if a kibbutz was initiated (legally and paid for) in Australia, then colonialism would not be an ingredient.

minus-square@Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-3•1 year agoI disagree. The ideology of a kibbutz is not Colonialist.
