5 thoughts on “Anti-Semitism”

1. People on the left view anti-Semitism as a right wing belief, so any anti-Semitism is viewed as right wing without any examination of other beliefs. I think these people have a lot of left wing views on political ideologies, even if they don’t like Democrats.

   The pro-Hamas protests will become right wing protests when talked about by leftists in the future.

2. I skimmed the comments there to see if anyone pointed out that it wasn’t a sharp turn at all given that Nazis were always on the left….. no luck.

3. A leftism and a racism have an independent relationship respecting their pronouns.
   And they get American leftism.

4. My understanding was that the Nazis called themselves national ‘socialists’ purely as a strategy to attract votes of socialists. Of course, any group aiming towards a totalitarian regime will end up controlling a society and economy very…forcefully (!), so this may have been a distinction without a difference.

   1. “so this may have been a distinction without a difference.”

      Commies always like to bog down in arguing over flavors of Marxism but they are as you say, distinctions without difference. Each iteration of the Marxist experiment is slightly different and those slight differences are used by other Marxists to distance themselves from the atrocities their ideology creates.

      A favorite line is that the Nazi fought the Socialists, so they can’t be Socialists but this ignores that power struggles are common, especially among Marxist groups. There is this assumption of no enemy to the left but then there are Trotsky, the Red Guard, and many other examples.

      One group of Marxists fought other Marxists for control of the German left and society. The victor group of Marxists, the Nazi, then partnered with their buddies the commies in Russia until such time they didn’t and the two Marxist powers fought each other.
