You'll recall that I began our exchange by acknowledging that there was "a 
Yiddish-speaking community with a common history and culture concentrated in 
Eastern Europe which corresponded to the modern definition of a nation", as did 
Marxists and other socialists you refer to above.

However, it was subsequently and tragically destroyed in the Holocaust, and its 
remaining survivors dispersed to other lands where they, and especially 
successive generations, adopted the language and other elements of the culture 
of their new communities in the US, Argentina, western Europe, South Africa, 
the Yishuv in Palestine, and elsewhere.

The children and grandchildren of Irish, Italian, Chinese, and other immigrants 
underwent the same process of assimilation while often retaining a sentimental 
attachment to the ancestral culture which was inculcated from birth in much the 
same way as loyalty to the home town sports team was transmitted from 
generation to generation.
