How is Zionism similar to Communism?

Question

How is Zionism similar to Communism?

Answer 1

Of course as everyone has answered - they are different

Zionism is simply the belief that the homeland for the displaced Jews is the biblical Land of Israel (Zion)

- but it is understandable where the confusion comes from, especially when you consider the famous "Kibbutz".

Some of the very early Zionists were also Communists from before the Russian revolution who believed that Russia would never be communist and their best chance for forming a classless society would be to set up a new state in Israel - but that does NOT mean they are the same thing, it just means that some Zionists are communist - equally some Zionists are right wing reactionaries, some are Buddhists and some capitalists and some are not all that nice - whereas others you'd be happy to have over for tea

Answer 2

I see no connection, except that they both end with "ism".

Answer 3

they both end in "nism"

Answer 4

The biggest different is Zionism allowed free killing and no rule associated with it

Answer 5

The similarities are:

Ideology where both call for the establishment of a state for classified kind of people Communist and Zionists.

Collective farms.

State ownership of the land.

They both seem to bring out the worst in man.

Ask the over one million Chinese Communist that starved to death by government order to reduce the population in the 1970's.
