    Jews are the group I was thinking of. A lot of left-wing anti-Zionism leans into antisemitism, justified by a false sense that Jews are privileged.

      Wait are you talking the center right leftist in the United States or actual left leftists. Because the former isn’t really a thing. And even the latter is a pretty specious claim. I mean I could definitely see a few communists etc being upset with bankers and capitalists in general. But that =!= Jews/antisemitism.

        Well, nazbols exist but I can’t say that there’s enough of them to really qualify. Maybe in eastern Europe? I’ve heard its a more common ideology there. I wouldn’t really call them leftists though

      Are you referring to Ilhan Omar here? (as I see it, her remarks are possible to interpret however the listener pleases. And that includes antisemitism but it also includes anti-what-Omar-sees-as-oppression.)

      Wouldn’t that make them intrinsically conservative and not actual leftist/progressives? There are pro-life homosexuals.
