INTELLECTUAL PROSTITUTES AND PAID LIARS

The Jewish preponderance in revolutionary socialism has always been a highly troubling fact for the academic intelligentsia. They have never liked to deal with it and have all kinds of innovative techniques for thinking their way around it. One is to claim that although many Communists were Jews, they only constituted a small minority among Jews generally. That assertion is more than debatable. It is a little like asserting that only a small minority of Jews support Israel. If one reviews the Communist/Socialist press, 1880-1950, a very high percentage of it was published in Yiddish, the language of the Jews. A good example would be the “Morning Freiheit”, the largest circulation Communist newspaper published in the United States. One wonders who would be reading Communist newspapers published in Yiddish if not Communist Jews. Another favorite technique of the Judeo Communism Deniers is to count only the Jews who were members of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party ) later the Communist Party) before the revolution, while omitting the Marxist Jews who were members of the other revolutionary parties. These Jews later joined the Communist Party en masse after the Bolsheviks took control. Still another favorite sleight-of-hand technique is to argue that the Mensheviks were dominated by the Jews but the Bolsheviks were not. Thus, if there were a “Jewish” phase of Communism, it only lasted from the time of the Provisional government in March 1917 to the Bolshevik seizure of power in October of the same year.

These are some of the sophistries by which Jews and their apologists try to whitewash the real Jewish role in Communism. The hard truth of the matter is that Jews up to the end of WW Two were as solidly behind the Soviet Union as participants and supporters as they are participants and supporters of Israel now. It is idle to point to Democratic Socialist Jews who objected to Soviet terror, just as it is idle to point to anti-Zionist Jews like the late Alfred Lilienthal and present day Norman Finkelstein. A key tip off to real Jewish sympathies is whose persecution they object to. When the German Nazis launched their Jewish persecution campaign, Jews all over the world erupted in rage. When the Jewish gulag commissars of Joseph Stalin murdered millions in Soviet Russia, world Jewry warmly applauded. All students of Communism are acquainted with Walter Duranty, the New York “Times” star reporter who denied the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933 in which 7-10 million people were deliberately starved to death by Joseph Stalin and Lazar Kaganovich. Academics who deny the real Jewish role in, and collective responsibility for, history’s most murderous tyrrany, are Walter Durantys of the ivory tower. They are intellectual prostitutes and paid liars – and should be dismissed as such by all informed people.
