Hello. I’m having trouble understanding several things related to antisemitism (such as anti-communism, Nazism, Zionism…) and it’s because I don’t actually understand how antisemitism itself functions. The explanations I can find online tend to be idealist.

And this is off-topic, but this post reminded me of the idea that Suburbanites are modern-day peasants of a late-stage capitalist world where taxes and rents require that even small landholders leave their yards fallow to take up more productive work within factories, offices etc. With advances in transportation, the jobs that used to be relegated to the city-dwellers (lawyers, doctors, bureaucrats, etc.) are now taken to by Suburbanites (modern-day peasants) who commute to work every day. Leaving the question of what work is left for our actual city-dwellers - typically impoverished black and brown people. Especially as public transport is cut and working-class jobs are moved outside of the city center.
