Thread Name: BS: More on left-wing Anti-Semitism
Subject: RE: BS: More on left-wing Anti-Semitism
i still don't know what this is about, because I don't know what Martin means by the "left wing." I know what "left wing" means as an adjective, but not what it means as a noun. "The" left wing does not have a rule book nor a pope; it is not a political party or any kind of organization, any more than anti-Semites are an organization.
Left-wingers and anti-semites both come in all flavors, including Jewish, and some notable musicians.
If you want to talk about Nazi anti-Semitism, that can be defined, and there is a definite relationship there. Or KKK anti-Semitism.
Let's get precise and name names. Who exactly is an L.W.A.-S. and exactly what's the connection between L.W. and A,-S.?
As it is we're all just pushing words around, words with no precise referents.
Basically all MG is saying is "Left-wingers are no good" and "Intellectuals are no good," and stuff like that there.
