Re: Holocaust and Anti-Semitism

andy,

while i seriously doubt that this is your position, it does sound a bit as
if you're suggesting that capitalism played no role in the rise of nazism.
in that sense, anti-semitism took on a particular character in relations to
the status of german capitalist development, particularly in the way it
defined those Others that were the target of elimination and extermination.
 the insane and the disabled were incapable of productive citizenship it
was argued.  jews likewise and, moreover anti-semitism was also a way of
denouncing communist sentiments.  but i'm fairly certain that this is what
you'd want to say and that you didn't say it this way is because of your
specific focus in these last two posts.  just looking for some clarification.
