"jews are a more privileged minority" is anti-semitism

when we are talking about ideology intended to harm by identity, creating hierarchy by "privilege" is garbage which will allow for compartmentalization that is ultimately based entirely in neoliberal terms, which helps the neoliberal commodification of anti-bigotry

again, to re-assert that a marxist conceptualization of class (i.e. owns/doesn't) is important when talking about identity-targeting ideology:

the vast majority of any marginalized demographic *does not own a/the means of production*

this means the power of any marginalized group is limited in a way that is basically ignored by "intersectional leftists" because the ideology around "intersectionality" (again, indicating a recuperated version) pushes people away from open discussion of class elements

I would argue that putting that Marxist conceptualization of class in the equation allows for people to more easily understand *power* and how ideology creates acceptable/convenient groups to leverage it against

because that is what bigotry is: ideology which makes it okay to exert power over a group. having Privilege Spectrums to dump minorities onto blurs lines and obfuscates

making "jews a more privileged minority" excuses exertion of power to some extent

frankly, I don't give a shit if more Jews are "middle-class."

the American idea of a "middle class" works fully in service of obfuscating necessity of liberating the means of production from the owning class

the Marxist idea of "the middle class" is in reference to what we call the owning/ruling class now

they were the "middle" when there was monarchs/lords

that's what bourgeois revolution was: making the then-middle class into the ruling class and abolishing the then-ruling class

the American idea of "the middle class" is entirely based on income, which is a metric which obfuscates relation to means of production by making it no longer even part of the goal of life

the goal is a comfortable income, that's The Dream™

so if we use obfuscating language to categorize a marginalized group as "more privileged," we're doing what?

1. obfuscating necessity of liberation of means of production

2. creating hierarchies based on that obfuscation

3. ultimately partly excusing bigoted ideology

"privilege" is a concept created in a neoliberal world and reflects a neoliberal understanding of power

if Jews can suddenly be "privileged" because more Jews are in "the middle class" then we basically allow the obfuscating language to de-prioritize anti-semitism as a concern

which is, intentionally or not, anti-semitic
