Antonio Machado, the great Spanish poet who died in exile, predicted the inevitable turn to anti-Judaism that Marxism would take. Marx himself started it, of course: "What is the secular basis of Judaism?" he asked. "Practical needs, egoism. What is the secular cult of the Jew? Huckstery. What is his secular God? Money." No wonder Goebbels declared eighty years later that National Socialism was "anti-Semitic" because it was socialistic.
Marxism does not harmonize with the Jewish mind, which is individualistic and commercially oriented; nor has it in any way a "proletarian" character. Marx ended his revolting pamphlet against the Jews, in his Die Frühschriften, with the remark that the true emancipation of the Jews consisted in "the emancipation of society from Jewry" (his emphasis). This is precisely what the National Socialists attempted with the Endlösung [Final Solution].
