The idea
Antisemitic conspiracy is powerful because it can absorb contradictions. Jews can be blamed for capitalism and communism, nationalism and cosmopolitanism, tradition and modernity.
The recurring move
Each new crisis is plugged into an older structure. The myth system does not need consistency; it needs a hidden actor who makes every fear feel connected.
Russia · The contradiction becomes the attraction
The forgery linked banks, newspapers, revolutions and governments to one imagined Jewish controller. Opposing developments could therefore be blamed on the same enemy. Readers were offered a way to avoid the complexity of modern politics by treating everything as evidence of a hidden plan.
