I'm obsessed with Jewish history and consider radical Jewish thinkers as my primary influences (besides James Baldwin, naturally). Levi, Arendt, Goldman, Bookchin, Solotaroff, Walter Benjamin, Bauman, Graeber, Postone, Butler, Shohat and so many more.
You ever read Hajo Meyers “the end of judeaism”? Talking about being 100% on the mark.
I still have this poster in my flat and I have a Yiddish shirt that reads "down with the police". I take Doikayt very seriously. My MA thesis basically looked at Yiddish Doikayt/Here-ness versus Hebrew-oriented Zionism as the there-ness (this is a generalization)
