On Socialist Anti-Semitism
Max Geltman (1977). Midstream. Reproduced by Paul Bogdanor.
The author delves into the question of the antisemitism of socialist (and anarchist) theorists in nineteenth and early twentieth century Europe. The writings and public statements of figures including Marx, Engels, Proudhon, Leroux and Fourier are considered and the centrality of the oft repeated theme of the ‘Jew-usurer’ highlighted.
