I feel a little dirty getting into this thread, but surely you've heard of Kibbutz? Many early Zionists imagined Israel as an idealised Jewish-Marxist utopia.
Of course for every Zionist that was socialist, there was another that was ant-communist, and for every communist that was Jewish there were many more that were anti-semitic. But don't let that stop the conspiracy nuts.
Are you talking about the century where (all attributes based on self-identification) a realm ruled by a socialist party was waging war against socialist republics ruled by a communist party? Doesn't really sound like they were fighting over semantic pedantry. Or maybe they were, and they were just incredibly good at hiding it.
In the context of an alleged "art hijacking", I say it doesn't matter at all.
Yes, I was thinking about the different kinds of socialists and communists killing each other. (Edit: but I’m not talking just about state vs. state, within a country different factions were not always nice to each other.)
