Talk:Frank Anstey

message: How interesting that Herschelkrustofsky should write an article on Anstey without mentioning his anti-Semitism. He gives himself away every time. I will add some more material later. Adam 05:32, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The Australian labour historian Peter Love writes: "The anti-Semitism in The Kingdon of Shylock was no aberration. It arose from the logic of his [Anstey's] analysis combined with the cultural tradition of which he was a part. The vulgarities of Christian mythology had built up an accretion of hatred and suspicion towards Jews over many centuries. The resulting stereotype of the greedy and cunning Jewish financier was a commonplace convention in the writings of British radicals and American populists. It was also a persistent theme among Australian labour radicals."
This tradition of nationalist anti-finance-capital populism is, fortunately, almost dead, but LaRouche and his followers are doing their best to revive it, as their conscious evocation of all these long-dead radicals attests. In doing this they inevitably associate themselves with the anti-Semitism with which pre-World War II anti-finance populism was deeply imbued. That's why it's instructive that of all the Australian radicals you could have written about, you picked Anstey, the most obviously anti-Semitic of them all. You may not have known about The Kingdom of Shylock, but obviously Anstey's rhetoric, with its thinly-veiled anti-Semitism, appealed to you in the same way that LaRouche's does.

message: Here is a source which describes the contents of The Kingdom of Shylock in very harsh terms.

:The source of this stereotyping of "Shylocks" appears to be Labor politician Frank Anstey's pamphlet, The Kingdom of Shylock, first published in 1915, probably the most anti-Semitic tract ever published in Australia.
The writer goes onto describe why he applies that label. -Willmcw 23:02, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I've added a quick disambig to the top of this and the article linked to, because Thomas Anstey Guthrie's psuedonym, F. Anstey is just begging for confusion with Frank Anstey. Adam Cuerden talk 18:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There is nothing new in this article.  User:Qst created a duplicated article Francis George Anstey, which was inferior to the existing article Frank Anstey, and it was then converted to a redirect by User:Rebecca.--Grahame (talk) 04:04, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
