Daniel Randall traces left antisemitism from its roots in primitive socialist thought, conflating Jews with capital to Stalins anti-semitic campaigns in the 50s to a modern anti-imperialism which designated any opposition to western Imperialism as inherently and necessarily progressive.

Blurb 

Daniel Randall traces left antisemitism from its roots in primitive socialist thought, conflating Jews with capital to Stalins anti-semitic campaigns in the 50s to a modern anti-imperialism which designated any opposition to western Imperialism as inherently and necessarily progressive.
He argues that far from representing a logical continuation or inevitable endpoint of left-wing ideas, left antisemitism represents a distortion of them and that by reanchoring the socialist project in class-struggle politics, solidarity and equality the left can confront and overcome antisemitism.

This book aims to build on the legacy of Steve Cohen's Thats funny, you don't look antisemitic first published in 1984.
