Socialism of fools
InSocialism of Fools, Michele Battini focuses on the critical moment during the Enlightenment in which anti-Jewish stereotypes morphed into a sophisticated, modern social anti-Semitism. He recovers the potent anti-Jewish, anticapitalist propaganda that cemented the idea of a Jewish conspiracy in the European mind and connects it to the atrocities that characterized the Jewish experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Beginning in the eighteenth century, counter-Enlightenment intellectuals and intransigent Catholic writers singled out Jews for conspiring to exploit self-sustaining markets and the liberal state. These ideas spread among socialist and labor movements in the nineteenth century and intensified during the Long Depression of the 1870s. Anti-Jewish anticapitalism then migrated to the Habsburg Empire with the Christian Social Party; to Germany with the Anti-Semitic Leagues; to France with the nationalist movements; and to Italy, where Revolutionary Syndicalists made anti-Jewish anticapitalism the basis of an alliance with the nationalists.
Exemplified best in theProtocols of the Elders of Zion, the infamous document that \"leaked\" Jewish plans to conquer the world, the Jewish-conspiracy myth inverts reality and creates a perverse relationship to historical and judicial truth. Isolating the intellectual roots of this phenomenon and its contemporary resonances, Battini shows us why, so many decades after the Holocaust, Jewish people continue to be a powerful political target.

The Antisemitic Coalition Emerging in the G.O.P
The MAGA coalition has been fighting over Tucker Carlson’s interview with the white nationalist influencer Nick Fuentes and where to draw the line on antisemitism. On “The Ezra Klein Show,” the political writer John Ganz argues that the interview represented the intersection of two archetypes of antisemitism and what he calls “the creation of an actual antisemitic politics.”

Antisemitism as a Semiotic Problem: The Prehistory of the Definitions of Antisemitism
In an attempt to locate the roots of the curious idea that defining antisemitism can be a means of fighting it, this article unearths the post-1945 process by which antisemitism has evolved into a semiotic problem. Historically, this article locates the prehistory of the definitions in a broad but somewhat elusive change in post-1945 European culture and the emergence of ambiguous, but potentially negative, statements about Jews, without which the definitions cannot be understood. Conceptually, this discussion is intended to explain why the issue now takes the form of a semiotic problem. The first part of the article attempts to elaborate an Israeli perspective on antisemitism. The second part reconstructs Shulamit Volkov's influential conceptualization of antisemitism in Wilhelmine Germany as \"a cultural code\" in order to show that it is incapable of addressing the post-1945 situation. The concluding part of this article attempts to articulate a way out of the semiotic morass by distinguishing between ambiguity and ambivalence.
