ABSTRACT
The emergence of Revisionism as a political party, the fact that it presented itself as an alternative to the workers' parties, as well as its fierce criticism of their Zionist methods, their national views and their social and human character, within a short time resulted in its being equated with Fascism. 1 Almost from its inception Revisionism was portrayed as a nationalist movement which regarded the State and its coercive instruments as the supreme value. As a party, it was accused of wanting to destroy all that the organized working class had achieved. This negative interpretation failed to distinguish between programme, Weltanschauung and political behaviour, but apart from this it was simply unable to appreciate the singular character of the Zionist Right: Revisionism simply was fascist, inside and out.
