Document Summary
Jews lacked equal civil & political liberties. Emancipations for jews: protestant state recognizes jews as equal citizens (conservatives) Political emancipation for all: secular state ignores all religion (property, status, etc. ) and recognizes only equal citizens (liberals) Human emancipation: abolish religious (economic, status, etc. ) difference and create equal human beings (marx/socialism) 1st way of doing it; 2nd way is more like how we do it now - liberal idea that you don"t have a. Protestant state that recognizes jews, but a state that recognizes all independent (?) race/gender/etc. -blind. State should be unprejudiced - should just be neutral, treat everyone as human beings. Clearly doesn"t think of self as being jewish; appears to have adopted troubling anti-semantic tropes - 2nd section of this piece, wants to make this argument that all bourgeois had become. Rhetoric relevant to jews, anti-semantic, but primarily interested purely/exclusively in trying to bring home problems with bourgeois capitalism.
