Victoria 3 i has a better functioning economy and politics, and AI that is only partially braindead

Vicky 2 has the far better war system

The two examples most people use are Bolsheviks in 1917 (Ukraine specifically) and in the Spanish Civil War. This is another irreconcilable split (Marx literally kicked Anarchists from the first international). Anarchists fundamentally believe the revolution must destroy all hierarchy while ML's believe the vanguard party must lead a temporary state as it transitions to communism. This means that in a revolutionary state anarchists will begin to agitate for it's destruction, which a Vanguard party will take as a threat.

SocDems want reform, not revolution and this is an irreconcilable split. SocDems are politically incentivized to betray leftist movements and they have repeatedly done so.

Examples: SDP killing the Sparticists, George Orwell ratting leftists put to the government, Bernie's votes on foreign policy, Norway choosing NATO over the WP

Holy shit how did I miss half the article

Re: Jews are native

According to the Bible, no. Jews are ethnically dubious slaves of Egypt, they could very well be from the levant, but God tells Moses to go to the promised land, not the homeland. Anyway they wander for 20 years before discovering Jerico and the Canaanites, God tells them they must cleanse the land in his name, so they do.

So within Judeo-Christian mythos Israelites are a genocidal group of colonizers.

Archeological history suggests that the ancient tribes of Israel did in fact originate from the levant, but fun fact, Muslim rulers allowed amd sometimes encouraged Jewish migration into their territories. Aside from a brief pause during the crusades, Jews were able to return to the levant and many in fact did. Modern DNA testing shows that modern Palestinians are descendents of the Levant and are the closest relatives of the Jewish ethnicity.

The historical (oral/religious/textual) and archeological records agree starting with the first diaspora: Babylonians come, cause first diaspora, Persians come and restore judea. Romans come, cause second diaspora. No Jewish polity controls the levant for the next milinium (Khazars* do control the northern caucuses and part of Ukraine tho)

This is the important part, any Jewish states claim to the levant has 1900 years of squatters rights in the way. Before the first diaspora is debated but it (shouldn't) matter
