#39c3 Don't get me wrong, I really like Doctorow and was looking forward to the talk ...

But (re)introducing the antisemitic image of the all powerful and ultimate evil kraken in the motherland of Der Stürmer is just unbelievably sad.

and why use the "Zylinder", a well known imagery of modern antisemitism?

As an antifascist and anticapitalist activist myself, I can say: it is possible to be anticapitalist without to use and reproduce antisemitic stereotypes

@zeroconf as an honest question: i can't think of a better image for something that is greedy and grabs anything it can get than the 8 arms of a Kraken. That is probably and sadly also the basis for the original anti semitistic image.

Do you have an alternative one could use to visualize that behaviour?

Since it's a picture I would recommend drawing a machine that does this. Or using a picture of a "Rattenkönig"

@zeroconf ironically, a better image would be shooting for the moon and just featuring a picture of Netanyahu and everyone would have understood.
