Default ‘Studies on the Left’ and the Jews

‘Studies on the Left’ and the Jews


‘Studies on the Left’ was one of several radical ‘new left’ journals published in the late 1950s to the late 1960s: it was published by Marxist radicals who were associated with or employed by the University of Wisconsin. It was highly influentially in reopening Marxist intellectual discourse in academia after the supposed ‘red scare’ era. (1) Indeed it was quickly labelled as a major communist and intellectual subversive threat by the US government (2) who; had they been stronger, should have suppressed it and kicked its authors out from behind the intellectual shrubbery of academic freedom of speech. The journal itself folded in 1967 and was succeeded by ‘Socialist Revolution’ and then ‘Socialist Review’ both of whose editor and guiding light was one James Weinstein: who as you can probably guess was a member of the tribe.

In many ways ‘Studies on the Left’ can be equated as being the American counterpart of the ‘New Left Review’ in Britain, which did precisely the same thing in British intellectual discourse and allowed peaceniks, beatniks and Marxists of various stripes to run around marketing their utopian intellectual wares to all and sundry without the checks of either party discipline (well known to be rigorous in the official communist and socialist parties) (3) or social sanction.

Of note to us are the names attached to producing the journal and those directly associated with it. I’ll list them for the sake of completeness:

Editorial Board


Lee Baxandall (also founded ‘The Naturist Society’): gentile.

Joan Bromberg: jewess.

Matthew Chapperon: gentile.

David Eakins: gentile.

Dena Goldberg: jewess.

Arthur Hack (Professor of English at the State University of New York): jew.

Eleanor Hakim: jewess.

Irwin Klibaner: jew.

Saul Landau (writes for ‘Counterpunch’): jew.

William Rouff: gentile.

Stephen Scheinberg (author on Canadian jewry): jew.

Martin Sklar: jew.

Carl Weiner (possibly associated with Gratz College): jew.

James Weinstein (edited ‘Socialist Revolution’ and ‘Socialist Review’): jew.

Associates


Martin Pierce (of the University of Minnesota): gentile.

David Simonson (of the University of Chicago): gentile.

Harold Woodman (of the University of Chicago): gentile.

Jerry Barrett (of the State University of Iowa): gentile.

Phil Cummins (of the State University of Iowa): gentile.

Sol Stern (of the State University of Iowa [now a conservative pro-Israel writer]): jew.

Howard Kaplan (of the State University of Iowa): jew.

Samuel Shapiro (of Michigan State University at Oakland): jew.

Now of 14 members of the editorial board of ‘Studies on the Left’ 10 were jews: that is a whopping 71 per cent of the whole board being of the tribe. Of 8 associates of the journal 3 were jews, which is a considerable 37.5 per cent.

That is not even considerable overrepresentation that is pretty much absolute dominance for so small a proportion of the American population. One that demands explanation that is not readily given by claims of jews being oppressed (they were a considerable part of the leadership of the anti-communist movement at the same time) and seeking resultant ‘radical solutions’. Indeed we must search elsewhere to find answers to such significant overrepresentation and only in pastures of anti-Semitic theory do we begin to find holistic answers. (4)

Indeed if one were to adopt the sceptical tactic of asking rhetorically whether ‘the Irish created ‘Studies on the Left’’ then one would find oneself devoid of evidence and having to make it up as one went along. However I am sure philo-Semites will find some excuse or another for why jews should be so significantly overrepresented in leadership positions on the far left in general.
