Title Marxism versus the Jews.
Original Library/publisher Antisemitism in the Contemporary World. Ed. by Michael Curtis. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1986
Host Item Commentary 77,4 (1984) 28-34
Description Describes the tendency of intellectuals in the modern period to be seduced by antisemitism due to their search for a radical explanation for the ills of society,
this view was transmitted to the modern world via the French Enlightenment. Marx, too, was influenced by anti-capitalist French antisemitism. His early works already attacked Jews as capitalists
later he broadened his attack to include the entire bourgeois class. States that "If anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools, socialism is the anti-Semitism of intellectuals". Contends that these ideas live on in Soviet anti-Zionism. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Appeared also in "Antisemitism in the Contemporary World" (1986) 39-50.
