No Wonder Goebbels Declared Eighty Years Later that National Socialism Was “anti-Semitic” because It Was Socialistic

But the real Marx came to life in his letters, especially when he vented  his hatred on former friends, collaborators, or sympathizers. Marx actually vied with Engels in heaping anti-Jewish invectives upon the head of  Lassalle, insults of a descriptive physical nature reminiscent of the smutty Nazi weekly Der Stürmer, edited by Julius Streicher. Marx saw in Lassalle a “niggerlike Jew,” and Engels' invectives were no more moderate.  In a way these attitudes are not surprising because socialism and the Jewish  outlook, the Jewish mind, the Jewish character do not easily mix. Belonging to a religious minority within Christendom (with which they  remain mysteriously connected), the Jews are apt to have the critical bent of  small religious bodies everywhere. These minorities question much of the intellectual-spiritual foundations upon which the majority live, and they are often emphatic in their criticisms. Thus they easily become unpopular,  because the Philistine hates the critic. Let such minorities rise financially and opposition to them will increase—envy will be added to discomfort and suspicion. . . .

Yet even in Eastern Europe a break between the socialist and communist  forces and the Jews had to come. (For a while this was obscured by the fact  that the Nazis literally drove these Jews into the arms of organized leftism.)  A latent, sometimes even an open, anti-Jewish sentiment existed in the ranks of Europe's socialist parties—and it was prominent in Red Russia  as well. By the time World War II broke out, Stalin had killed many  more Jews than Hitler. Needless to say, Jewish haute finance was never  really procommunist. If Jewish bankers did business with the Soviet  Union, gentile manufacturers and financiers are even more guilty in this  respect.

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 [the Final Solution].
