oh damn yeah, ive never made headway on that issue. did they hit back with some Hanah ardent bs, or was it no thoughts just hissing at uncomfortable information?
Talks so much shit about Soviet Union being totalitarian and fascist but she kept being friends with an unrepentant, card-carrying Nazi after the War ended. Says a lot.
Arendt’s discussion, in the second section of Origins, of the role of Jews in the gold and diamond rushes in South Africa at the turn of the twentieth century. She relies here on the account by the British economist J.A. Hobson in which he referred to Jewish financiers ‘leaving their economic fangs in the carcasses of their prey. They fastened on the Rand … as they are prepared to fasten upon any other spot on the globe’—part of a passage that Arendt quotes with explicit and unironic approval, commending it as ‘very reliable in observation and very honest in analysis.’ “
It's good she became - ANOTHA KKKRAKKKA DOWN, UNLIMITED GULAGS TO THE FIRST WORLD!
I can't control my glee enough, over that fact at least...
That being said, it's also a bit iffy that Lenin borrowed a bit of his thesis from Hobson's studies, but at least he didn't quote any directly Judeophobic message like that....
It was immediately “but stalin killed people though” and this one guy from an ex-warsaw pact country complaining about how repressive socialism was. i hit back with the fact that my parents are from china and then immediately this guy starts being a chauvinist about “human rights” in socialist countries. unironically which got some pushback because wow. this person was valorizing norway lol.
