More time should be spent thinking about antisemitism - not less. It& #39;s a rosetta stone for wrong political views, as it& #39;s a crystalization of the problems with conspiracy theories, nationalism, critiques of finance capital, anti-imperialism, fickleness in seeing oppression, etc
i reevaluated so many of my views on these and other matters after i studied antisemitism for years. and it really helps people get a clear and consistent libertarian socialism, as you start to eject a lot of the shitty thinking that exists on the left.
it& #39;s not the only way to do that, but it is a rather direct and effective one.
and i am endlessly fascinated w how the Left chooses to ignore it even when confronted directly. this shows how even our own views can be - without our noticing it - subverted by toxic ideas & which we double-down in denial on.
note: this way in which i& #39;m talking about antisemitism doesn& #39;t have anything to do with IRL Jews per se (altho obvs they will be the victims of it). it& #39;s the narrative structure, influence, and hold on our minds that antisemitism has that is revealing, when looked at this way.
anyway, since i& #39;m preparing an anthology of my writings on antisemitism (on both the left and right) for a French translation, if you are an english-language book publisher and might be interested in this, reach out
