BOLSHEVISM AND THE JEWS

It is a historical mistake to attribute the Russian Bolshevik Revolution to a Jewish conspiracy. It is also a mistake to overstate the peculiar shape and the phenomenon in-itself of Great-Russian anti-Semitism. The following two quotations address both points. The first one belongs to M. Ouendyke, the Ambassador of the Netherlands to Russia, in his letter to Lord Balfour of England, written from Petrograd on September 18, 1918:

“Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to spread in one form or another across Europe and the whole world, for it is organized and worked by Jews, who have no nationality, and whose object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things.”

Here is a classic case of a “mistaken identity,” whose effect was anticipated by the Russian Keepers of the Faith and the Nation, whose hidden agenda was of course to use the Jews, and blame them for all excesses and everything that might go wrong, in the process energizing the Jews of the Capitalist world to become useful agents of influence and subversion for exactly the same phony reason that would make the Gentiles of the Capitalist world shake and tremble in their boots… Three cheers to the argument from stupidity!

But, on the other hand, seek the truth, and you shall find it, unless, of course, the lie that one has previously accepted as the truth, chases away the truth, branding it as an impostor, somewhat akin to the situation in the movie The Net… Here is an excerpt from one of Lenin’s always-informative speeches, made about the same time as the misguided Dutchman was sending his dismayed dispatch to the Albion. One could deduce a lot from this little gem and perhaps even weave a magnificent doctoral dissertation around it. Where there is a will, there is a way, they say, only in such cases as this, the will is demonstrably lacking…

“The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies not as Jews, but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother.” (From Lenin’s Speech before the SovNarKom [Council of People’s Commissars] on August 9, 1918.)

Notice, that once we remove the piquant portions regarding the Jews from this text: “The bourgeoisie are our enemies. The worker is our brother,” this passage turns into a worthless piece of tedious propaganda. It is the reference to the Jews, which supplies the “Tsimmes.”

Once we are on this subject, Lenin’s personal attitude to the Jews was indisputably negative {despite of, or perhaps because of his deep resentment of his own Jewish roots, on his mother’s side [Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova, nèe Blank], this fact cleverly concealed by Stalin, in an odd ploy to appease Hitler’s anti-Semitic sensibilities, for which see my History section!}, as revealed by his scorching resentment of Trotsky in particular, both in a private conversation about Trotsky’s unacceptable “Yiddishness,” and also in the so-called Lenin’s Testament (this ground-breaking entry was posted on my blog on February 2, 2011), where Lenin openly mocks Trotsky and deconstructs other Jews, heaping actual praise on Stalin, to which attitude the above passage from Lenin’s SovNarKom speech provides an important elucidation.
