N2 - This essay aims to contribute to a better understanding of the conceptof ‘left-wing antisemitism’. It points to ‘anti-imperialism’, i.e. thenationalist, often culturalist, resistance to the global spread of thecapitalist mode of production, as a crucial context of contemporaryantisemitism in which the boundaries between ‘right-wing’ and ‘leftwing’ are often blurred. The main contention is that the dialectic ofcapitalism and emancipation is central to understanding antisemitism:the fact that capitalism itself creates the conditions of, and the meansfor, overcoming capitalism produces the space of confusion in whichthe concept of ‘left-wing antisemitism’ emerges.
