Israel is recreated and strong.
Zionism was formed as a secular socialist community formed from a desire for a return to the homeland.
Zionism has accomplished it's course in the creation of Eretz and it wasn't the course that was entertained by Zionism and Russian/German socialists in the end result. Which is why Russia and China are anti-Israel. Israel was formed as a socialist communal state and both Russia and China stood for that alone.
imho
Zionism is long over and now simply used as a baiting strategy. We now live in an age of spiritual reconstruction while Herzl's Socialist 'Zionism' ended when Israel became a capitalist nation.
Does Rav Kook's fundamental essay apply to today's generation as well?

220 years to go so don't be so quick to think you or rabbi's have the 'answer'.
Herzl put forwards that we should convert to Christianity and end circumcision. He was an athiest and socialist. When he found that this 'educated proposal' was not even entertained for discussion by Jews, he changed his course. But his original course showed the socialist atheistic approach & intent that he entertained, which was, iow at that time?
To end Judaism.
We've seen this before. Still, I just watch and wait and pray that I will be alive to see the signs.
Binyamin Z. Herzl Ztz"l spoke his mind at different stages of his own identity crisis,
which was archetypal to large portion of the whole nation.
One has to remember that Mosheh Rabbenu A"H was an Egyptian prince,
when
'he went out and saw an Egyptian man beat up Dryfus'.
It is as it shall be.
The socialist and atheist intentions were and are clear and they were the creators of Israel's political structure.
Which creators, Rabbi Uziel Ztz"l or David ben-Gurion Ztz"l?
Zionism is a political platform of rejuvenation of the nation,
representing various opposing views and revolutionary ideologies.
Socialism was just one of them, though one of main ideologies at the time,
it essentially ended in Israel 20 years into the declaration of independence.
And finally with the 'turnover', as Likud took the wheel from the left.
Aren't You limiting Zionism by conflating it with Socialism?
The people behind the scenes who voted to recognize. The partition plan created by Canadian socialist Lester B Pearson and others... to... work towards an end to Judaism and to further Zionism of their intent.
Editors’ note: This is part one in a two-part series, focusing on Canada’s role in creating and supporting Israel. Part two can be found here.

I know that you're a socialist. Atheism is that portion.
The twain will not meet imho.
Wait, what, I'm a socialist???
We're Jews, defying all categories - we're both capitalists and a socialist shteitel striving for a monarchy.
And again You seem to define a whole political/cultural movement by isolated aspects and ideologies,
instead of looking at the whole phenomena comprising a whole variety of opposing ideologies,
in this case specifically concentrating on a proposition coming from a 3rd party.
Zionism, beyond the basic premise, was never a set ideology, but an umbrella for all various ideologies to fulfill that basic premise. Capitalism and socialism are merely economic theories, as much as parliamentary democracy a political, Israeli society can move in and out of them or fuse them in a unique manner, it can switch to a parliamentary monarchy and all that still part of and integral development along the parameters of the basic premise.
Any organization that has to do with Jews living in and building the land of Israel,
fulfilling the commandments of the land - is Zionism, regardless of changing shape or form.
As much Halachah of each generation following basic parameters is Halachah, regardless shape or form.
