Abstract:
Discusses the materialistic approach of a Jewish Trotskyist and underground leader from Belgium (1920, Warsaw - 1944, Auschwitz) to the history of the Jewish people, the solution of the "Jewish question", and Zionism, as presented in his work "La conception matérialiste de la question juive", completed in 1942 and published in 1946. According to Léon, antisemitism stemmed from the misdirected reaction of Europe's middle classes to the impact of decadent capitalism on their class. Instead of directing their wrath against the wrongs of the system itself, they attacked other victims of the system - the Jews. Léon also contested the Zionist approach to the solution of the "Jewish question"; he contended that it could be resolved only by confronting directly the worldwide socioeconomic problems caused by the failing capitalist system. States that Léon's interpretation was used by Jewish left-wing circles in the 1960s-70s to justify ideologically their attacks against Zionism.
