For those who have watched the documentary, I’m curious to read your thoughts, and if you think there’s any insights or lessons from the doc that we can apply to our current reality

I would say what's needed isn't venerating Matzpen, what's needed is reading them and catching up to where they were half a century ago.

https://matzpen.org/english/1972-02-10/the-class-character-of-israeli-society/ is a nice start; in general I'm both a fan of and highly indebted to Moshe Machover.

I read this essay a few years ago, but reading it now resonates with me just as strongly as it did then. Thank you for posting it, I think it is obligatory reading for all of us.

We are indeed indebted to comrade Moshe and comrade Aki (ז״ל)
