I have some prejudice against GDF thanks to BadEmpanada's video, but I'll give him some grace and watch this. It's worth noting that the comment section of this video is already full of antisemitic dogwhistles. I'll write down some observations:
as a counterargument to the email he received. This is accepting fascist logic at its face: of course Ben Gurion the fascist would say that nation must obscure class! That doesn't get rid of class society, though, it just reveals the opportunism behind fascist ideology. But what GDF is trying to say is that Israel shouldn't be analyzed through the framework of dialectical materialism and class struggle because Ben Gurion didn't want people to see it that way, and Israel is more like Nazi Germany (see my previous point). This is obviously quite objectionable. The next minute continue with the same argument using various quotes from early Zionists.
I planned on commentating the whole video but I have work to do. If anyone's interested in dissecting it further I might finish it.
This is excellent! I knew GDF's analysis was skipping over quite a lot of counterarguments, but I personally didn't know them well enough to point them out specifically.
I'd love if you could go through the rest of the video when you have time. This will make great info for others as well.
This is a very good breakdown.
