Ber is a tropical fruit growing on the tree ''Ziziphus mauritiana''.
Borochov became highly influential in the Zionist movement because he explained nationalism in general, and Jewish Nationalism in particular in terms of Marxistclass struggle and dialectical materialism.
Borochov predicted, correctly, that nationalist forces would be more important in determining events than economic and class considerations, expecially as concerned the Jews.
Born in the Ukraine, BerBorochov was educated in a Russian high school.
In 1914, BerBorochov arrived in the United States, where he was the spokesman for the American Poalei Zion and for the World and American Jewish Congress movements.
Borochov was on a speaking tour on behalf of Poalei Zion when he contracted pneumonia and died in Kiev.

Borochov interprets, in an analogous manner, national conflicts as a result of the clash between the developing forces of production of a nation and the conditions of production under which it lives.
Borochovs greatest contribution to socialist thought, namely his theory of the organic unity between socialism and proletarian nationalism, remains unacknowledged, although it is being carried out to some extent in practice by the same cosmopolitan socialists and communists who fought him so bitterly on this score.
This "ideological retreat" was aided by the presence of Borochov, who came to the United States in 1914 as a refugee from Austria and naturally assumed a position of respect and leadership in the movement.

Borochov was a "MarxistZionist" who was born in Russia in 1881 and died there in 1917 shortly after the Russian Revolution.
While, elsewhere, Borochov argues for territorial concentration (specifically Zionism) as the solution to the "Jewish Question" the arguments and analysis posited in "The National Question and the Class Struggle" do not necessarily lead to that conclusion.
BerBorochov (with hat), the future leader of Poale Zion, with friends in his hometown Poltava, Ukraine, in 1903.
Both Borochov and Syrkin believed that the Rothschild settlements, organized on purely capitalist terms and therefore hiring Arab labor, would undermine the Jewish enterprise.
BerBorochov's contribution to Labor Zionism was his synthesis of the concepts of class and nation.
According to Borochov, only through the establishment of a Jewish society controlling its own economic infrastructure could Jews be integrated into the revolutionary process.
BerBorochov and Nachman Syrkin became disillusioned with the program of Russian socialists, and founded the Poalei Tziyon (workers of Zion) socialist Zionist movement.
Gordon's philosophy, together with that of BerBorochov, embodies the major tenets of the strain of Zionism that created Israel and that dominated the Zionist movement and Israeli politics for many years.
Unlike Borochov and other ideologues who spent their lives publicizing their Zionist ideas abroad, Gordon came to Palestine, and though he was already 47 years old when he arrived, he insisted on engaging in physical labor and enduring the rigors of life in the early settlements.

Borochov's argument is that anti-Semitism, national competition (in which the Jews, lacking a territorial base, are at a disadvantage), and the continuing development of capitalism force a continual pattern of Jewish migration, and make the abnormal Jewish conditions of production more and more insecure.
However, while Borochov's theories may have been critical to the mobilization of the Zionist labor movement, the actual development and rise to power of MAPAI -- the hegemonic Socialist Zionist party -- was ultimately "a result of its rejection of Borochov's programmatic conclusions."
Among the opponents of Borochov were the Austrian Po'alei Zionists led by Shlomo Kaplansky.
In 1906 a formal Poale Zion party was formed in Poltava, Ukraine under the leadership of BerBorochov, and other groups were soon formed elsewhere in Europe, particularly in Poland.
The key features of its ideology were acceptance of the Marxist view of history with the addition of the role of nationalism, which Borochov believed could not be ignored as a factor in historical development.
The Poale Zion Left in Russia participated in the Bolshevik revolution (in some cases, activists formed "Borochov Brigades" in the Red Army) and remained legal until 1928 when it was liquidated by the NKVD.
I once asked Borochov about his sister, and he gave me a copy of a letter he had sent to Hannah Zemer, editor of (now-defunct Israeli Labor Party daily) Davar, protesting a cover story published in the newspaper's weekend supplement in 1986.
That of Borochov and Wilkin seems relatively simple: The two were about to get married, and everyone knew and did not make too much trouble for them, despite or perhaps because of the fact that Shoshana was the daughter of the great BerBorochov.
However, the romance between Ya'ir and Roni was tortured, almost sadomasochistic: One gets the impression that his determination to persevere in his terrorist activities, over the objections and pleas of his pregnant wife, was driven not only by nationalistic madness, but also, perhaps, by a desire to hurt her.

Voices From the Past: BerBorochov: Herbraismus Militans
In Israel and in the rest of the Jewish world, the passionate fight between Hebrew and Yiddish is sometimes easily forgotten.
BerBorochov, early Zionist and co-founder of the Poale Zion Party (later to split into the Mapai Party and the Mapam Party), demonstrates the drama of the debate in an article published in 1913.
Syrkin and Borochov were "enlightened" secular Jews from Russia, supporters of the revolution there who at the same time were fervent believers that Jews had to return to Zion and become enlightened agricultural workers for the most part.
The youth movement of Poale Zion (the Zionist-Socialist movement that was MAPAI in Palestine, led by David BenGurion), Habonim was a functionally autonomous youth movement in the USA.
What Borochov said (as I understand it) was that the necessary socialist ideology could best be expressed by Jews in their own socialist homeland, compared to Syrkin's formulation that Jews in their homeland should and would create their society according to socialist ideals.
