Postone's critique is nice and all, but can someone explain to me how, in his account, Jews come to represent the abstract/finamcial aspect of capital as opposed to its concrete/industrial manifestation?

The only real way out of the socialism = antisemitism bind is refusal to acknowledge personal prejudice as an objective historical force. Good news: workers already know. Bad news: writers don't get paid if they do this.

Without being "antisemitic," that is. Or appealing to a popular phantasm with objective historical force, ie the exact thing Postone is trying to avoid.

If you look at society as a pyramid of intersecting oppressions on the basis of things like race and religion but insist that "white Christians" are at the top, then reality itself is antisemitic. The left can't win the race wars. This is a right wing sandbox you're playing in.
