The Ashkenazi Revolution

283dangers. Ashkenaz will prevail because it is a thousand times stronger thanall the non-Ashkenazi forces in the nation. L.A.I. will triumph, not as amovement that wins by a spectacular landslide, but slowly and as it buildsthe foundation of a new Ashkenazi society. The Ashkenazi societalstrongholds are crumbling and falling, after Ashkenaz, itself, had closedthem. The Jewish Agency, the political parties, the kibbutz economies, thevarious public establishments, which used to be Ashkenazi societalstrongholds, are now losing this character due to the increasing, andunavoidable, penetration of Sephardo-Mizrahi elements. There aretherefore groups of new Ashkenazi societal strongholds, strongholds thatare purely Ashkenazi, and where entry to non-Ashkenazim is not alloweduntil the end of generations. In these strongholds, a life of Ashkenaziprofundity, which derives from activity in the fields of research, crafts,linguistics, history, literature, humor, folklore etc., is taking shape anddeveloping. We should develop a complete list of Ashkenazi sciences, forexample: Ashkenazi history; Ashkenazi-Sephardi relations; Ashkenaziinfluence, in modern times, upon the great peoples of the world, theGermans, Russians and English; the study of Yiddish and its literature,modern Ashkenazi policies etc. Within these cultural-social frameworks, agathering of people will crystallize around lofty interests, and through this,the processes of deterioration, now appearing in Ashkenazi society, will behalted as a result of the disappearance of the former values. A truegathering of people should not be achieved through organizing for thedefence of interests and positions, but through organizing for theadvancement of ambitions. The division of people into those who owncars and those who do not own cars, rich and poor, successful people andfailures, holds within it a societal atrocity. Only lofty ambitions, that areanchored in the future, break the chains of economic disparity and qualityof life differences, and return humanity to its natural state of one family.L.A.I. will set for itself the goal of gathering all the Ashkenazim, asAshkenazim, and of uniting, within one framework, professors and manuallaborers, successful people and failures, men of action and followers. Thiswill not be a framework of snobs who are proud of their white skin, not ofthose who possess property and status and worry about their wealth, not ofintellectuals who consider themselves superior due to their intellectualism,
