If everyone became class conscious, would that spark the Revolution or would people still feel "well, I know that I am being exploited but there is nothing that I can do about it"? in c/asklemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml

It would come with understanding that there is something you can do about it. Mass general strikes would happen overnight, and the upper classes would captiulate or die.

Its a British perspective, key text in studying classical sociology from the UK pov.

He gives an idea of what a marxist judicial system would look like by reconstructing a legal system based on Marx's critiques, then gives a balanced perspective from a positive spin by this guy;

A reactionary trot teardown (USSR executed this guy because he said working class law was impossible)

and a post-modern take (which is basically always required in the UK, eurocentrism moment) which manages to say nothing from Foucault

A jewish communists perspective on Zionism (inthesetimes.com)
 

Zionism was one of these cultural nationalist movements. What made it different was that it grafted itself onto British colonialism, a relationship made explicit with the Balfour Declaration in 1917, and actually tried to create a country out of a British colony — Mandate Palestine — and use British colonialism as a way to help establish itself in the Middle East. The Balfour Declaration was essentially a way to use the British Empire for its own ends. On some level, you could say Zionism is a toxic mixture of European nationalism and British imperialism grafted onto a cultural reservoir of Jewish tropes and mythologies that come from Jewish liturgy and culture.
