mocracy - can never be achieved under capitalism.
Nor, as we argued long before the collapse of Stalinism, could these demands ever be achieved under the bureaucratically deformed workers states and degenerated USSR, whose regimes survived only by repressing their own working class.

But is there a single historical example where a community has turned itself into the majority of the population of a territory without either assuming the role of settlers or because of the military intervention of some outside power, as with the Turkish Cypriots?
Nowadays most Jews outside Israel have become assimilated on a linguistic level, though not necessarily on any other level. Yiddish has become rather marginal.
Can it really be prevented from becoming more marginal? A Jewish identity which based neither on practising a different religion nor speaking a different language from the majority of the population seems rather weak. In the absence of a serious upsurge of anti-semitism (which cannot be ruled out) is there not an objective dynamic in the direction of assimilation?
