<Anti-Semitism and McCarthyism by the Stalinists running Antiwar Movement>

The forces in society who are dissatisfied with the Status Quo, are a coalition of different interest groups:

1. feminism
2. environmentalism
3. pacifism
4. anti-colonialism
5. anti-racism

There is also a fading remnant of socialists and communists, but those are defeated memes. So defeated, that their names are mostly used today as a curse.

Now, the problem for Jews is that the above coalition makes these associations:

Jew = zionist = colonialist = racist

So, Jews get excluded from the coalition of "progressive elements". By implication, Jews can't really be feminists, environmentalists, or pacifists, because they are part of the anti-Progressive Status Quo coalition. And, if a Jew tries to straddle the two coalitions, she/he is just confused.

This is a new position for Jews, who have never before had the problem of being part of the Ruling Class.
