"British interest in Zionism rested on three principles: unease with the Jews as an element in British political and economic life, evangelical Protestant interest in claims over the “Holy Land,” and—perhaps most crucially—a sense of the possibilities Zionist settlement opened up for imperial expansion." — Apr 24, 2021 01:39PM

“A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of Communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this specter; Pope and Czar, Metternich and Guizot, French radicals and German police spies.
Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as Communistic by its opponents in power? Where the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?
Two things result from this fact.
I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be in itself a power.
II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Specter of Communism with a Manifesto of the party itself.”
― The Communist Manifesto
