It’s interesting to see an upstart political movement take power after a long period of struggle, because there’s often a pressure to use the victory as a chance to vindicate the superiority of doctrines that worked out for an insurgency, or to address the complaints that originally inspired the movement in a bygone era.

And then as time went on they were abandoned because the people actually living in Israel in the mid-20th century looked around and said “wait, what?”
