Antisemitism is hatred of anything or anyone that is elite, while Judaism is the purest expression of elitism.

What the antisemite hates, is not the actual Jew, but the concept that one man should be superior to another.

Another type of antiselite is a wanna be member of the elite who feels unfairly excluded (Ron Unz, Joyce, Macdonald, Lin Dinh, etc). These people don't hate elitism- they just want be to be it.

The mistake of Jews in Europe was that they competed with local elites. That has been rectified, and today, Jews joined with Western elites to form a new elite class. The competition and rivalry- which was bad for both Jews and local elites - has been replaced by fusion. Some people who wish to have higher positions in the elite feel unfairly marginalized, and are trying to replace the current elite.

All elites are ultimately parasites from the perspective of the man who works with his hands.

The problem is, that elitism cannot disappear from the world. If Judaism as a religion would disappear, other ideologies would appear and take its place. There have in fact been many elitist ideologies and will continue to be.

Muslims want to claim for themselves elite status, so they hate Jews out of a sense of rivalry, like the old Christians did before they joined with Jews. But Muslim elites seem to now be seeong the wisdom of joining with the Jews rather than competing with them - soon, it won't just be Judeo-Christianity, but Judeo-Christian-Islam, as the elites fuse and stop competing.

The "problem" of elitism - does it have a solution? I doubt it.

Will, in the end, a globalized elite emerge, Jewish, White, Asian, Muslim, Black, etc, that will forever exploit the global dumb masses?

Things are tending in that direction. But there are always factions within the elite that don't like the way the spoils of exploitation are distributed.

Getting rid of elitism is not an option. Getting rid of exploitation and parasitism is not an option. Utopia doesn't exist, and we live in a flawed world. Facing up to this fact, we have two choices. Learn what it takes to join the elites, and become an exploiter yourself. Learn how to thrive in the world as it is, a world where you are exploited. Is there a perspective from which that might not seem so bad? Many Greek and Asian philosophies of life thought so.

The worst kind of life is the screeching and lamenting against elitism, a life that knows no peace and satisfaction. The life of the constant moaner and whiner, self pitying, his dissatisfaction exploited now by one factions of the elite, now by another, in the elite wars.

But given that we do live in a flawed world, the self pitying moaner also won't learn sense and wise up, and will forever be there ripe for exploitation.
