You’ve got it backwards, Abraham. Far from deeming it irrelevant, Marxists have been in the forefront of recognizing the democratic rights of all nationalities or “imagined communities”, as Benedict Anderson described them. Reactionaries have been the most insistent on attributing inbred ethnic and racial personality traits and behaviour to minorities based on their respective ancestry in Eastern Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, South and East Asia, and elsewhere and persecuting them on that account, often for underlying economic motives. It's not surprising that you cited the Nuremberg Laws. When I’ve had occasion to comment on my Jewish ancestry, it has been those who strongly identify with that former Yiddish-speaking community like yourself and those who most despise it who have each quickly painted an imaginary Star of David on my forehead despite the absence of any objective reason to do so. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
