This discussion and debate adds a missing facet of the triangular configuration on the contradictions among Zionism, Marxism and Bundism. This facet is the Bundism in contradiction with Zionism. The other facet still missing is Bundism in contradiction with Marxism, even while the opposition between Marxism and Zionism has been sufficiently muddied. The essential element contained in this line of argumentation is the constitutional dimension which takes on the State and the Nation-State in particular, a line of argumentation which is impossible for the Marxist current. This vacuum in Marxist theory and methodology is centered upon the conception of the Nation and auto-determination, which are inherently lacking in Marxist theory. In terms of methodology the differences between Bundism and other methodologies, in particular Liberalism and Marxism, is the principle of reciprocity in the social domain, rather than a hierarchical singular class formation so neglecting the Social Orders both internally and inter-nationally.
