[lbo-talk] Re: Antifa Critique of German "Left Party"

[Chris Doss]

I'm curious as to what extent anti-Semitism still has
mass demagogic appeal in Germany. I'm half-Schwabian
(mother from Altensteig, near Tuebingen). I haven't
spoken with any of my German relatives for a long time
(note to self: contact them), but, although they are
southwest German farmers/low-level proletariat by
background and politically xenophobic in general (my
uncle having been jailed in the 70s for beating up a
Turk in a supposedly racial crime, and they are all
still totally anti-immigration and have a thing
against Ossies AFAIK), none of them ever said anything
about Jews. My grandfather, who was a qualified
Hitlerite until his death, had no venom for Jews, but
lots for the US (and when his daughter married an
American...you can imagine the sparks that flew!). [He
was pro-USSR, in fact.]

Nu, zayats, pogodi!
