Can there be racism in the left-wing? A case study

This paper discusses the phenomenon of anti-Semitism in the Brazilian left wing politic field. It studies the article entitled "The owners of the system" (Os Donos do Sistema), by Manuel Freytas, published in blogs and sites identified with the left as a case of anti-Semitism. By studying this case it's suggested that anti-Semitism of Freytas is not "new" and the fact that it appears "on" the left should not mean that it is a phenomenon "of" left.
