The NAZIS -COMMUNIST CONNECTION THAT IS NEVER MENTIONED
A close study of the texts of the founders of socialism will lead to very disconcerting conclusions. Genocide was an idea unique to socialism. ( George Watson , The Lost Literature of Socialism, ( THe LutterworthPress, 1998).
Fredrich Engels, in 1849, wrote an article in the NEUE RHEINISCHE ZEITUNG, edited by Karl Marx, which called for the extermination of the Hungarians, who had risen up against Austria. He also had a low opinion of the Slavs , Basques, Bretons and the Scottish Highlanders, who weere all considered problems that had to be eliminated. ( Last Exit to Utopia, Jean Francois Revel, (Encounter Books 2000) p. 95). Stalin later recommended the study of Engles’ piece as a guide. ( id). Marx, asked the existential question of how “those moribund peoples, the Bohemians, the Carinthians, the Dalmatians ect.” might be irradicated. ( Id at 95).
Engels wrote: “For us, economic conditions determine all historical phenomena, but race itself is an economic datum.” ( Id at 95) Engels used this basis of analysis in his claim that Slavs had no capacity to attain civilization. Engles, went on to state:
“Apart from the Poles and the Russians, and perhaps the Slavs of Turkey, no Slavic nation has a future, since all the other Slavs lack the historical, geographical, political and industrial bases that are necessary for independence and survivial. Countries that have never had their own history, that have hardly achieved the lowest level of civilization…cannot survive and can never achieve the slightest autonomy.” ( Id at95).
HG Wells and George Bernard Shaw, devoted socialists and admirers of the Soviet Union, espoused the Socialist Right to liquidate the social classes that oppossed the revolution or that held it back. George Bernard Shaw, actually urged chemists to devise a “humane” gas that would cause an “instantaneous and painless death” in the BBC periodical The Listener, in 1933. One might recall the fact that Zyklon B, was a gas used by the NAZIS as a tool of mass murder eradication as predicted and foreseen by Shaw ( Id at 96).
Jean Francois Revel wrote as to the goals of Nazis and Communists as both “aimed to achieve a metamorphosis, a total redemption of society-indeed, of humanity. Hence they felt justified in annilhilating all the racial or social elements they regarded as resistant, even if only on an involantary or unconscious level ( objectively in Marxist jargon),to the sacred enterprise of COLLECTIVE SALVATION. So if the Nazis and the Communists committed genocide similar in extent if not with the same ideological pretext, it was not at all because of some anomalous convergence or fortuitous coincidence resulting from aberrant behavior; on the contrary, the similar results stemmed from identical principles rooted deeply in respective convictions and modes of operation. Socialism is neither more or less of the Left than Nazism. If this fact is too often forgotten, its because as Remey de Gourmont says, ‘ A misconception that has become conventional wisdom is never corrected. Opinions are Transmitted hereditarily, ending up as accepted history’” ( Id. at pg 96)
Hitler considered himself a socialist. He wrote about his disagreements with the Communists as ” less ideological than tactical”. Hitler further explained that the trouble with the Weimar politicians was that “they had never read Marx”. Hitler preferred the Communist to the Social Democrats and received Communist support in 1933. ( Id at 97) ( also Otto Wagener and Henry Ashby Turner Jr. , HITLER AUS NACHSTER NAHE: AUFZEICHNUNGEN EINES VERTTRAUTEN, 1929-1932 ( Ullstein , 1978) in ENglish, Hitler: Memoirs of a COnfidant ( Yale University Press 1985).
German National Socialism ( NAZIS) like the Italian counterpart, followed the Bolshevik example as an antibourgeois revolution. Ludwig von Mises, a noted economist, pointed out that the TEN emerging measures proposed by Marx in his Communist Manifesto closely paralleled Hitler’s economic program: ” Eight out of ten of these points were carried out by the Nazis with a radicalism that would have delighted Marx”. ( Ludwig von Mises, Omnipotent Government: Rise of the Total State and Total War ( Random House, 1969) )
