1907 CE
Ber Borochov's contribution to Labor Zionism is his synthesis of the concepts of class and nation.
In his most famous essay, entitled Nationalism and Class Struggle (undated) Borochov shows how the nation, in this case the Jewish nation, is the best institution through which to conduct the class struggle.
According to Borochov, only through the establishment of a Jewish society controlling its own economic infrastructure can Jews be integrated into the revolutionary process.
His synthesis of Marxism and Zionism attracts many Russian Jews caught up in the revolutionary fervor of the Bolshevik movement.
