Global Apartheid: On the historical superiority of the West
by Nauman Naqvi · March 21, 2017
http://herald.dawn.com/news/1153700

"Whether we moderns like it or not, no premodern state had ruled on the
basis of race, a doctrine and an idea that was and is inextricably tied to
the emergence of gora[*] nationalism and progress in the wake of the
‘Enlightenment’. The latter, let us pause and remark here with some
emphasis, given how banalised and obvious it has globally become, is a most
extraordinary historical periodisation in itself: for in the past,
‘Enlightenment’ would have been characterised of extraordinary, luminous
individuals. Now, entire peoples – people to be sure, as white as the light
of their self-nominated historical age – are to have become ‘Enlightened,’
no doubt the most remarkable instance of Gora’s ingenious flair for
historical self-glorification and sanctification, not to mention of Gora’s
genius for inventing a truly diabolically twisted secular metaphysics that
makes of (his own) wretched worldly history a theophanic event."

*Gora (racial epithet), or gaura, a Hindi and Indo-Aryan word for Europeans
or a light-skinned person.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gora

^^^There's even a section in there laying into Judith Butler,
Counter-Punch, Alison Weir, anti-imperialist leftists, Hezbollah, etc. The
whole gamut of the Left is part of some kind of anti-Semitic stew, I
suppose.

Not that it's in relation to any of the rest of your article, but it's
worth remembering that Ross Wolfe is one of the Zionist apologetics who is
obsessed with "left anti-Semitism" and rehashed most of the empty
accusations of anti-Semitism against the Corbynites:

The mind tends to wander indeed.  

As in imagining Lenin arriving at Finland Station, announcing "Even 
Ideologiekritik ought to be grounded in something more solid than Foucauldean 
discourse analysis or Derridean textual marginalia."

When I check the Wordpress dashboard of my blog each day, I am always 
curious to see who has linked to the Unrepentant Marxist. A couple of 
days ago, I discovered that Ross Wolfe had linked to my blog as part of 
his response to the Jacobin article by Landon Frim and Harrison Fluss 
that made an amalgam between anti-Semitism and anti-Enlightenment 
philosophy, whose exponents ranged from William James to Martin 
Heidegger in scattergun fashion. For Frim and Fluss (what evocative 
Hobbit-like names), Marx was part of the “Enlightenment” tradition and 
once philosophers such as Nietzsche began to criticize that tradition, 
it opened a Pandora’s Box that led to fascism.


Much of Wolfe’s commentary is couched in the sort of language found in 
the grad school milieu of the Platypus club that expelled him for some 
reason a few years ago: “Even Ideologiekritik ought to be grounded in 
something more solid than Foucauldean discourse analysis or Derridean 
textual marginalia.” My mind tends to wander when I read this sort of thing.
