Re: AUT: back Vance crisis theory Hi People Theory is just a way to organize what we know better, in order to help us to deal with what we do not know so good... and to serve as a torch while searching for better days. So, if people are not interested in izoteric cases like that of the Palestinians in the middle East, a simpler theory about nationalism and racism can do. However, when the opponent in this case Zionist project want to expel Palestinians - both peasants and wage slaves, and the capitalists... it seems there is some common interest to both exploiter and exploited. And of course the conflict express itself also in preventing the development of the Palestinian capitalists... so workslaves have to spend many hours a day to travel far (if they succeed) to be exploited by the Zionist capitalists. So, again what seems to be a strange common interest of both capitalists and working class. And of course the check points in which both working people and regular capitalists are humiliated and often physically harmed. For sure the interests are not identical and class war still continue within both the Palestinian population and the Israeli Jewish one, but it is a four way thing and not two or three contradicting factors. (Every one can see the difference between the position of the Palestinian working people and the Palestinian capitalist elite. It is also not so hard to see the different position of the Jewish capitalists and the Jewish working class.) However to make people more confuse just consider you need to accomodete your theory to the fact that both Palestinian capitalists who are Israeli citizens and Israel-Palestinian citizen working class SUPORT the "national liberation" struggle of the Palestinians of the occupied territories to get their own capitalist state, but REFUSE to be annexed to that emerging state. (They prefer to fight against discrimination and suppression within the Israeli state.) Ilan --- from list aut-op-sy-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
