"FactsareFacts,"Melbourne:Youhaverepeatedlydeniedthatthe Jewsarebehindcomunism.
R.:Icheerfullydenyit again.
Q.:WasItnotKarlMarx,a Jew,whogavecommunismtotheworld?
R.:Communismcannot besaidtohavebeenorganisedbyKarlMarx,although histeachingsgaverisetoit. ButKarlMarxwasneither thinkingnorwritingasa Jewinworkingouthis theoryofdialecticalmaterialism,whichisthebasisof atheisticcommunism. Fewpeopleknowthereal historyofKarlMarx.His fatherwasaGermanJew whosenamewasMordechai. MordechairenouncedJudaismandwasbaptisedinthe LutheranChurch,changing hisnametoMarx. HissonKarlwasbaptised aLutheran,marriedaLutheranwoman,andwasfilled withanti-Jewishprepudice. Q.:TheyweremostlyJews whosupportedthecommunistrevolutioninRussia. R.:Thatisnottrue.Jews inRussiasupportedthe pre-communistrevolutionin RussiaagainstbeCzars, andIdon'tblamethem,consideringthetreatmentthey hadreceivedinCzaristRussia. Butafterthecommunist revolutionagainsttheKerenskySocialistGovernment underLeninandTrotsky, militantatheists,Jewswere persecutedoncemore,and worsethanever.
IfJewsarebehindcommunism,howisitthat,in the1936PresidentialelectionsinAmerica,whena communistwasacandidate, thatcommunistreceived only80,000votesfromall typesofpeople?Therewere 4,400,000JewsinAmerica in1936!
IntheparliamentaryelectionsinGreatBritainin 1951,communistcandidates betweenthemreceivedonly 21,640votes.Therewere 450,000JewsinGreatBritain.
Ifanyofthe21,640who votedforcommunismwere Jews,theywereavery smallpercentage;butconsideringthattherewere 450,000JewsinGreatBritain,onewouldbejustified insayingthatJewsjust don'tvotecommunism.
ThelinkingofJudaism withcommunismisdueto prejudice,andveryillinformedprejudiceatthat.
