We've talked about the historic conditions (only being allowed to hold jobs in finance etc) that led to Jewish people being overrepresented in certain positions here before, but does anyone have any resources on it? I've heard Kwame Ture make the argument but can't find it now
I’m curious about this too, as a Jew. What I’ve heard is that Christians were barred from handling money or something, and that Jews couldn’t own land or associate with nobility in the Middle Ages. I’ve seen Jewish articles positing historical evidence does not point to us being forced into being financiers, and rather attribute it to literacy rates in Jewish communities. If I find a good text on it I’ll tag you

really interesting episode going into aspects of the russian bourgeoisie
the convo with dugin he had was really interesting:
“like all fascists everywhere today, they are not openly talking about fascism. they’re talking about Justice, they’re talking about oligarchy that is robbing the people, and you need to to get rid of the internationalist oligarchs who are sucking Russian blood out; so they are very actively exploiting the Socialist phraseology as they did in Germany 1930s. always, always they’re doing that. they are doing they are doing that in turkey that’s why Dougin has friends there. they’re doing that in Hungary. they’re doing it in the United States of America. it’s all the same”
“they are mixing the post-Soviet feelings of nostalgia with nationalism… and building some new Spirit out of that, and in its core that spirit is purely fascistic”
