Max Nordau almost never comes comes up on this sub. I think the reason for this is we have a problem on this sub that reflects a serious issue with the Zionist debate in general, Anti-Zionists of all stripes don't read Zionist literature, they simply don't engage with Zionist thought. There is a wealth of well written Zionist materials in English and the opponents of Zionism persistently remain total ignorant of it. This becomes even more serious when discussing historical Zionism and the period where the proto-Zionism of the Haskalah movement became Jewish Zionism. Certainly I don't want to deny the inherent dishonesty of anti-Zionists, they lie about Jews because they like to lie, they are at core hateful people with no interest in actual truth. But beyond the moral failings they have polemical reasons for lying. Many of the debates regarding early Zionism take place in a context of arguments that are no longer part of Western culture.
The most obvious example is Distributionism, which is getting several future posts. Distributionism was an economic theory that emerged in response to the Capitalism / Socialism debate. It saw both Socialism and Capitalism facilitating the concentration of economic power which would (and did) undermine local rule and sought to design a modern (19th century) economics in ways that didn't require such enormous concentrations of wealth to effectuate production. It turns out that Distributionism is critical for the development of Zionism. The anti-Semitism that developed in response to the H. H. Asquith and Lloyd George administrations played a major role in forming the British Zionism that actual existed as opposed to the fictional one of anti-Zionism. Balfour and later the policies for the Palestinians Mandate came out of responses to the debates regarding Distributionism. But from a purely political perspective the actual history puts anti-Zionists in a bind. The Distributionist argument has been dead for 100 years, as far as I know there are no Distributionists at all anymore. What's an anti-Zionist going to complain about that the turn of the century British Jews including the Zionists were entirely right about economic policy? So instead the anti-Zionists create a sexy fantasy Victorian England which is all together much more modern in its issues with a focus on "colonialism" and debate that rather than actual history.

Il s'agit du village de Montaillou, dans l'Ariège.
Jacques Fournier est un inquisiteur extrêmement zélé qui a mené des centaines d'interrogatoires dans le Sud de la France. En bon inquisiteur consciencieux, il interrogeait tout le monde, du paysan au noble local en passant par le clergé, et a tout décrit et consigné. La somme de ces écrits comprend donc une quantité d'événements parfaitement inintéressants pour son travail d'inquisition, mais qui représentent un véritable voyage dans le passé 7 siècles plus tard.
Par la suite, ce brave homme est devenu Pape et a emporté ses écrits avec lui, ce qui leur ont permis de survivre.
Ils ont été repris en 1975 par l'historien Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, qui les a compilé et s'en est servi pour décrire, dans le détail, le quotidien des habitants du village de Montaillou sur une période de 30 ans.

Hello, everyone. From what I've checked out, this article needs digitizing. It is a long shot but I was wondering whether any of you has in hard copy the above-mentioned issue (no. 29) of the Journal Droits: Revue francaise de théorie, de philosophie et de culture juridiques, so you can scan the pages of this article for me (157-175). I know it's a lot to ask but I would be really grateful as I truly need this article.
It seems that most stories or history books about the period of, say 1890-1920 always seem to mention anarchists as a separate, radical and violent/terrorist group, throwing bombs everywhere or plotting assassinations (there's even an anarchist, or anarchist wannabe, in Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile). But from the 1930s onward, they seem to have disappeared. What happened to this movement?
