According to Nathan Abrams, a Jewish professor at the University of Aberdeen, many Jewish pornographers identified as sexual revolutionary activists and were inspired by the antifascist praxis of Reich and Marcuse. And while students and Jewish anarchists were throwing Molotov cocktails at the police “to resist the fascism of whiteness” in the 1960s, Jewish activists also sought to liberate women from what Betty Friedan called the “‘comfortable concentration camp’ of the household” by enlisting them as actresses in hardcore porn films.[37] To Abrams, the overwhelming overrepresentation of Jews in the porn industry is clearly “a case of the traditional revolutionary/radical drive of immigrant Jews in America being channeled into sexual rather than Leftist politics.”[38] To drive this point home, the Jewish porn actress Nina Hartley described “herself as ‘the blonde Jew’ porn star from ‘a long line of radical Jews,’ who ‘wants everyone to have a piece — a piece of sex, a piece of the means of production, a piece of a warm communist community’ and ‘a piece of the promised Messianic Age.’”[39]
Jewish pornographer Al Goldstein stated in an interview with Luke Ford: “The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism.”[41] “Even when Jews live in a society that welcomes them instead of harassing them, many Jews hate the majority culture.”[42]
