I've thought about the idea that "Jews provoke antisemitism by being too left-wing" plenty of times in the past, considering that it was a common refrain among "moderates" in Germany in the run-up to WWII The conclusion of my thinking is it's evil garbage

I don't deny that Strasserists are a real phenomenon, they exist But they're worthless, they never get what they want, it's a doomed political project -- they're just pawns of the full-on fascists

Fascism is about dividing the world into the worthy and the unworthy, winners and losers And even though Strasserism exists as a tension within that dynamic that people feel strongly -- "I'm a loser irl but I don't DESERVE to be, it's the JEWS' fault" -- it's unsustainable

People seem really intent on missing the fact that they were the left wing of the *Nazi party.* It's a relative comparison. Also they were less socialist in any meaningful sense and just anticapitalist.

Yes, if you reject the basic principle of universal solidarity among the entire working class against the entire owner class, then you reject the whole definition of "socialism" as Marx saw it
