The Rightward Transmutation of Israeli Labor Party's Social Democratic Ideology and Its Critical Influences
As one of the fundamental elements of Labor Zionism,Israeli Labor Party's social democratic ideology is the key thought that contributes to the founding and survival of Israel,and is also the representative social democratic thought of the Middle East.Due to changes in the social environment,Israeli Labor Party's transformation,and the social democratic theory's characteristics,the ideology presents the rightward transmutation.Israeli Labor Party's revisionist understanding of socialism promotes the corresponding changes of its social democratic ideology's visions,goal pursuits and practical paths,which decreases the ideology's left-winged elements while increases the right-winged ones,pushing its ideological spectrum's position moving continuously rightward.The ideology's rightward transmutation is an ideological element shaping the political and social life of Israel,which has profoundly influenced the political pattern,social outlook,national development and governance mode of the state.In the recent years,the rightward trend of this doctrine has been greatly intensified,which further pushes Israeli society to the structural rightward trend,and has a complex impact on the political performance of the Israeli Labor Party.
