Max Weber on Jewish Communal Identity

Max Weber's Theory of Social and Economic Organization, originally published in German in 1920 and in English in 1947 (see here), contains a section entitled "Types of Solidary Social Relationships". This divides relationships into 'communal' and 'associative', defined here. On contemporary German Jews, Weber (p.138) refutes the assumption that Jews were an inward-looking close-knit community:
In the case of Jews, for instance, except for Zionist circles and the action of certain associations promoting specifically Jewish interests, there thus exist communal relationships only to a relatively small extent; indeed, Jews often repudiate the existence of a Jewish 'community'.

An interview with «"Mike Smith" -- aka "Denier," aka "Bud"»

Yesterday, when I was looking up the list of columnists writing for the "Inconvenient History" journal, the name Michael K. Smith caught my attention.

Antisemitism at CODOH

Finding antisemites on CODOH is like shooting fish in a barrel, but it is worthwhile to collate the cases that Jonnie Hargis permits to stand on the forum. I post them without commentary because their hatred and venom should be obvious to any sane reader.

"Hannover" Hargis tells some more lies

This month's first blog is dedicated to my old friend Jonnie "Hannover" Hargis, well known on the scene as the cowardly and mendacious lead-foot censor who moderates the "Revisionist" cesspit known as the "CODOH Revisionist Forum". Hargis now also writes for a pamphlet called "Smith’s Report", where he has a column in which he presents past exchanges on the CODOH forum.
