‘Capitalism, the nation and societal corrosion: notes on “left-wing antisemitism”’

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

    Abstract

    This essay aims to contribute to a better understanding of the concept
    of ‘left-wing antisemitism’. It points to ‘anti-imperialism’, i.e. the
    nationalist, often culturalist, resistance to the global spread of the
    capitalist mode of production, as a crucial context of contemporary
    antisemitism in which the boundaries between ‘right-wing’ and ‘leftwing’ are often blurred. The main contention is that the dialectic of
    capitalism and emancipation is central to understanding antisemitism:
    the fact that capitalism itself creates the conditions of, and the means
    for, overcoming capitalism produces the space of confusion in which
    the concept of ‘left-wing antisemitism’ emerges.
