[lbo-talk] Jewish "nation"? (Was Armenian genocide?)

[Russell Grinker]

Very long time since I read Leon too. But I suppose the difference is that
while a nation is a modern era construct, the 'people-class' was
pre-capitalist and served purposes specific to an era before capitalist
institutions were fully developed. Consequently, as Eastern Europe underwent
capitalist development, the old people-class ceased to have any social role.

It's been a long time since I read Leon, but I'm not aware of any conflict
with his analysis. Where does it lie?
