Comme Corbyn, Lénine avait sa propre équipe de juifs antisionistes

"Theodor Herzl voulait que le Juif devienne un type différent de Juif. Lénine voulait que le Juif devienne un type différent de non-Juif."

As the Bolsheviks came to be seen as a permanent feature, many Zionists turned to Communism. Why build Zion in Palestine when the here and now of redemption was taking place in Moscow?

Vladimir Lenin, a minor Russian nobleman, had little understanding of the toiling Jewish masses. He never considered the Marxist Zionism of Ber Borokhov, but instead preached assimilation because he was surrounded by Jews whose Jewishness was defined by escaping from Jewishness. 

The upper echelons of the Communist party were composed of highly assimilated Jews — Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Sverdlov, Radek — whereas the Jewish masses turned to the socialist Mensheviks. 

Yet a price had to be paid for such a switch. Theodor Herzl wanted the Jew to become a different type of Jew. Lenin wanted the Jew to become a different type of non-Jew.
