Did the Zionists have a role in producing the Compatible Left? Nice article on the Compatible Left, Socialism 2026, and the Congress for Cultural Freedom. The deleterious role of Foucault and post-structuralism is a key element of this of course, all part of a wider CIA strategy to defang Marxism. What we are still missing in this account is the role of Jewish leftists in the century long development of these ideas and in particular how they interacted with the Zionist movement to create the Neocons out of an earlier iteration of the compatible left. One way into integration of the influence of Zionism here is to look at the Zionist-friendly elements in the CIA, most obviously by inspecting the career of James Jesus Angleton, the only American spook to whom there are two public memorials in the Zionist entity. But another, and perhaps more important, way is to interrogate the role of the Zionist movement in funding ‘Marxists’ from the Frankfurt School. In 1943, the American Jewish Committee gave the exiled Institute for Social Research a $10,000 grant to study the causes of anti-Semitism. Theodor Adorno and his co-workers used this institutional support to produce the landmark 1950 volume The Authoritarian Personality. The American Jewish Committee and the separate American Jewish Congress closely collaborated with Nativ, a clandestine Israeli intelligence agency operating under the Israeli Prime Minister's office from the 1950s. It maintained a New York representative who worked covertly alongside and influenced major American Jewish organizations, including both the American Jewish Committee and the American Jewish Congress Nativ representatives coordinated closely with key leaders from both groups—such as Jerry Goodman of the American Jewish Committee and Phil Baum of the American Jewish Congress—to set up front coalitions like the National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ). Nativ maintained an office inside the New York HQ of the American Jewish Congress. Its cover title was the Jewish Minorities Research Bureau and it was headed by Moshe Decter. This was the milieu in which ‘Marxist’ and ‘Trotskyist’ Jews were transformed into the compatible left, and had their Zionism strengthened or rekindled. Many of them ended up to the right of the CIA as the Neocons. To understand the compatible left we also need to understand Zionist infiltration and subversion of the left. #DismantleZionism
