HaKatan,shmad did not need a state or zionism. It began in Western Europe with the Enlightenment and the rise of Reform Judaism. In Eastern Europe the Gedolim made two miscalculations that led to far more shmad than zionism. They thought thst the depotic Empires that kept Jews confined to shtetls would remain in place and, like in previous centuries, Jews had no choice.
However, millions of Jews left for the US, with mass shmad resulting. With the Empires weakenibg and falling, far more Jews became Radicals,Anarchists, Socialists, and Communists than became zionists. And it was the Jewish Commmunists who did such an effective job in shmadding Jews trapped in the Soviet Union after WW1. Eueopean Jewry in the 30’s were experiencing what American Jewry is going thru today with respect to people leaving Yiddishkeit behind.
However, you are so blinded by your hatred of zionism, you don’t recognize any of the above. The original zionists were as anti-religious as all of the other movements, but they were a minor player in the shmadding of EuropeanJewry.
