From Socialism vs. Civilization, Boris L. Brasol, 1920

It has been the policy of the various Socialist organizations throughout the world carefully to avoid raising international racial or religious questions which might tend incidentally to disrupt their membership. Therefore, as a general rule, every workman, regardless of his race, creed, or nationality, can obtain admission to any Socialist organization. Exceptions to this general rule are few, and they apply mainly to the Jewish labor movement. Thus, the revolutionary Jewish organization known as the �Bund,� with headquarters in Poland, although a distinctly Socialistic organization, and as such advocating the most unrestricted internationalism, admits to its membership only those belonging to the Jewish nationality.

This peculiar discrimination on the part of the �Bund� has caused strong criticism by some factions of the Polish Socialists. In fact, until recently [1920], the Polish Socialists conducted a vigorous fight against the Jewish �Bund. � It is also significant that many members of the �Bund� remain loyal to the Talmud, to the Rabbis, and to the Jewish religion in general. The �Bund� as a whole, however, is conducting a most vigorous campaign against the Christian religion.

At the same time, the Jewish Socialist Labor Party of America, otherwise known under the name of �Poale-Zion of America,� has distinctly declared that it represents an organized endeavor of the Jewish workers of the world to alter their condition as Jews and proletarians :

The world-wide organization of Poale-Zionism, the Poale-Zion �International,� so to say, is the symbol of national and social unity of the workers of Jewry in all countries. It is the practical demonstration to the world that nationality is stronger than and distinct from State ; it shows the essential unity of fate and aim of the Jewish Socialists. Through it every organization of Poale-Zionism is part and parcel of the world-wide Jewish movement for freedom. The international Poale-Zion confederation is the living expression of National Socialism or Socialistic Nationalism, which has been finally recognized as the only true conception of Socialism1

The juggling with the terms �National Socialism� and �Socialistic Nationalism� is but an endeavor to solve the unsolvable and to reconcile the idea of Jewish nationalism with world internationalism. . . .
