    The party that ruled in Israel was democratic socialist.

    I don’t know what is with downvotes for stating facts. Either people don’t know what democratic socialism is, or socialists probably want to forget that bit of history that Israel used to be left and don’t want to be associated with it.

      Your definition of left is off, that’s why you’re being downvoted. Israel was established on over 500 destroyed Palestinian villages and ethnic cleansing of half the population with the open intention to colonize the entire land.

      Read some non colonial history books before you complain about Internet points.

        And the Bolsheviks are authoritarians and still considered left. North Korea call themselves Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and considered left as well despite being ruled by a dynasty. What’s your point? Do you even know what democratic socialism means? Lemmy, of all people should know, what that means. Sorry but your personal bias is clouding your judgement and reading comprehension.

          “considered left”

          Yeah, by ignorant quick to adopt the narrative of the oppressor types like you.

          My point is clear, you can’t call a system that gives all rights and privileges exclusively to a minority while openly oppressing the majority Democratic socialist.

          How can you have social ownership of anything when over half the population isn’t allowed that ownership? Do you know what the words you’re using mean?
