Excellent video from Lenin on anti-Semitism.
This is an excellent analysis of the phenomenon, though I do know some true leftwing, liberal and Leftist anti-Semites, they are not common. Actually, they are pretty rare.
However, on the Arab Left, there is a tremendous amount of overt anti-Semitism. I used to associate with some folks who were linked to the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine). Basically Arab Commies. They and their friends were very anti-Semitic, not just anti-Zionist. They were also very anti-Iranian, which is typical of Arab nationalists.
Eventually they accused me of being a “Zionist spy” and threw me out of their little circle (I was doing some media work with them). Pretty paranoid group of people, not that I blame them.
However, anti-Semitism is basically at its heart a rightwing movement. You can see that in that the various anti-Semites who have shown up on this site are by and large rightwingers of one type or another. In particular, they are social conservatives. After all, the Jew is the bearer of modernity in all of its depravity and moral dissolution, no?
Anti-Semites also tend to be anti-Communist, as the Jews brought us Communism, eh? Especially in China. After all, that fellow Mao was a Jew, right?
Those of us on the Left who are not opposed to progress and all of the various social and political revolutions of the last 200 years would error in making enemies of the Jews. Anyway, we on the Left owe a vast debt to the Jews, as they were very important to our movement. And sympathizers with various progressive revolutions from Napoleon’s time on must sympathize with the Jews, as the Jews were typically in the forefront of social progress for one reason or another.
Yes, Jews can be silly, crazy and obnoxious, but even most Jews are well aware of that.
At the end of the day, there really is not much in anti-Semitism for those of us on the Left. There is nothing in it for us, and it’s fundamentally reactionary anyway.
But we can always be critical of the Jews in a good way. After all, nobody does this better than the Jews themselves.
There is a trend on the Right, especially the Jewish Right, to say that Communism was anti-Jewish. Well, the Jewish Right thinks everything is anti-Jewish. As you can see in this video, it is not really so. Yitzak Shamir was correct when we called the Soviet Union an “anti-anti-Semitic state,” perhaps the first that had ever been created. Stalin signed a bill making anti-Semitism a crime punishable by death. Stalin was an anti-Semite? Come on now.

He had good reason. He apparently was at least a quarter Jewish himself.
i’m still unable to figure it out, why so many folks in the West used to hate the Jews like hell. We in India have a 2500 year old Jewish history and they never ever faced anti-semetism from the locals
Used to? Lol.
Where do Jews stand on the caste hierarchy?
Stalin was an anti-Semite? Come on now.
I’m sure I’ve read that Stalin had quite a lot of distrust for the Jews higher up, in the more intellectual side of the party, while he was a more junior member. And not just him, a lot of his comrades in the revolutionary side of the party were well known to be anti-semites, perceiving the Jews to be all talk, intellectuals, while they were burning oil rigs in the Caucasus. Which could be said of Lenin, too.
It’s very hard for someone in Britain to understand the fascination with Jews. Reading Stormfront, the Jews get the blame for almost everything, these people must hate themselves, to give that much power to anyone, even if it’s imaginary. What kind of fuck ups see themselves as the master race yet feels so inferior to Jews, it does’nt make any sense.
Stalin had to turn anti-Jew to survive. Jews do not fight. Stalin needed an army to fight for him and the goyim would no longer fight and die for the Jews. Same thing is now happening in the US military. Granting citizenship to foreigner willing to serve in the army, higher pay and the increased use of mercenaries are proof.
Could someone please translate this into English?
I think Stalin should have been executed by his own law. He was ruthless in his persecution of Yiddish/Jewish culture. Many would consider that “antisemitism”.
Stalin was ruthless with everyone, even his friends and family were’nt spared his psychopathy. Jews were not singled out or special cases. Everyone had to swallow their medicine.
Stalin turned on the Jews after World War II. He started his rootless cosmopolitan campaign in 1948 because the Jews weren’t patriotic and there was the Doctor’s Plot a few years later.

Dear Robert
Typical of Marxists, Lenin overestimates the power of capitalists. Anti-semitism is not the creation of capitalists, but capitalists may exploit it for their class interests, just as they may manipulate religion, race, patriotism and nationalism, as the Republicans do.
To use an analogy, advertisers may use sex to sell a product, but they don’t create the sex drive, they just exploit it.
My understanding is that Stalin became very suspicious of Jews after the creation of the state of Israel. After so many supposedly dejudaized Jews showed strong attachment to Israel, they were classified as one of nationalities with a foreign homeland.

Some on the right wing think capitalism is generally good, but is often corrupted by Jewish influences. So Jews are the right wing excuse for capitalism’s obvious inability to work. Ok, if we did remove Jewish influences, then would suddenly people be paid a fair wage?
When did it not work toward making the country a superpower? Post 50s all the conservative Bibles (Alan Greenspan, Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman) have been Jewish. Randian Libertarians- Ron Paul and Paul Ryan and the notorious Coch brothers.
Conservative talk radio(The Base of conservative thought) are all ardent Christian-Zionists. Also Savage and Levin are Jews if that wasn’t immediately obvious.
Fair wage talk is Liberal talk anyway. Get your facts straight.
Bernard Baruch was a conservative for his
The new right is composed of radically different groups. Classic Libertarian groups, who have a more in depth understanding typically fight against jewish interests.
Conservative media outlets just peddle bullshit to the stupid masses, without even getting into the details.
But I agree that capitalism would work better when paired with white nationalism, or theoretically any form nationalism, than under the current multiethnic, nihilistic elite.
Yeah, conservative media sucks alright. Conservative radio yelling Obama is a Muslim Fascist for 3 hours isn’t exactly intellectually stimulating news. 90 percent filler for angry white men.
Bernard Baruch, is from South Carolina. Everyone’s dad in South Carolina was in the KKK at some point.
He was of Sephardic extraction as well. Sephardim are generally immune to criticism in the anti zionist movement. The usual suspects (radical left wing Gaza groupies) are most prevalent in altering the Sephardic narrative, but Even the White Nationalists have flirted with the plight of Sephardim, of course the unknowing followers of the AshkeNAZI elite. I hope the Sephardic role in the slave trade and Sephardic participation in the CSA will change that.
You know it would be nice if the left actually tried to promoted nationalism. Instead they leave it to the idiots who still think talking about Abraham Lincoln every day is relevant. Abraham Lincoln wanted big government control! Boggles the mind.
I don’t know. Mainstream republicans seize on the fact that Lincoln was a republican to try to win over minorities.
Lol, tell that to a real southerner! Lincoln was a big federal government Yankee.
The parties only switched because of segregation in the 60s. It’s the same people on both sides of the union. Same sensibilities.
The real story is the majority of the armed forces are now southerners. They got good business in oil and military industry now.
“The real story is the majority of the armed forces are now southerners.”
Really? When you say south, are you referring to the region or anyone who carries that mentality?
The region.
See Ron Paul for a more authentic Southern response to Abraham Lincoln.

Ralph Nader is an attention seeking whore.
Haha. Bernie Baruch’s father was active in the Klan.
Why would he even bring it up?
Lol. Because the bitterness still runs deep. Even if you are liberal, start gushing about Lincoln and you can expect an ass whuppin from a self respecting southerner.
I guess I proved myself wrong saying Lincoln isn’t relevant. To southerners his name doesn’t bring up good feelings though y’hear?
Gotta understand the culture and history of the matter. The south really got screwed from that war. Lincoln wanted to send the blacks ‘back to africa’ and initially was indifferent to slavery, he’s no hero.
Must defend the south’s honor! It’s in the blood.
In what context?
I know that, but why did Ron Paul bring it up at the debates?
Did you see this?
He’s old. It’s deeply conditioned in him. You get what I’m saying?
A lot of that extreme poverty is remnant from when the north came in and raped and pillaged everything after the war. Destroyed towns and left southerners with nothing. Many places never recovered.
Yeah some of them are just rednecks who never moved on, coming out from in the deep country side where no one knows how to read.
Another thing is a lot of these people are just a generation removed from being farmers. It’s a pretty big jump to go into modern society from agrarian life. A lot of these people fall to alcoholism and obesity because they don’t know how to deal with a modern culture of consumption and convenience. They wreck themselves just like the native americans do.
GSG, I know there’s something your old folks will rant deep about unprovoked. Out with it. Is it blacks, arabs, germans, Henry Ford? I’ll bet your grandma gets angry when she sees a Ford or BMW drive by. Lol.
LOL, I told my Jewish gf that Henry Ford was one of my heroes and he was one of the greatest Americans that ever lived. She told me that if I ever said that again, she would dump my ass.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
LOL. Nice.
Grandma spent the war in Shanghai. She hates Toyotas as well.
You know Jews can be Southerner’s as well.
Isn’t Southern pride a lot like that Nationalism you seem to think the country needs? You should be pushing us all to be like those rednecks.
Now what car does Grandma drive then?
I’m just pissed that he called Mao the second greatest humanitarian after Joe.
“Grandma spent the war in Shanghai. She hates Toyotas as well.”
That’s right. Your grandma had a fine intuition. Japan is yesterday. Korea is now. Dump your Toyotas for Hyundais.
Fuck Korean pieces of shit. You guys can’t even eat food without getting animal shit in it. When a Korean learns table ettiquite and stops eating cat I might take their manufacturing seriously.
See isn’t racism fun? You do Japan now it’ll be fun.
She swore on Vulvas, until Mother Sweden started to openly display her affection for the Palestinians. But she doesn’t drive anymore.
I suppose that’s a safe bet. When’s the last time Swede’s were in the center of conflict right?
I’m just pissed that he called Mao the second greatest humanitarian after Joe.
Mao more than ever!
I smell a bias towards people of a particular creed.
She swore on Vulvas, until Mother Sweden started to openly display her affection for the Palestinians.
I swore on a Vulva once. I looked at it and I said, “God Damn! That looks good enough to eat!”
She said, “Help yourself. Dinner is served.”
A good time was had by all.
“You know Jews can be Southerner’s as well.”
Dayam right!

My boss spent most of her life in Savannah and said she saw more casual antisemitism in Boston than she ever saw in rural Jawja.
Mmm hmm. That’s ’bout right.
And you resorted to pointing at the redneck, for shame!
“I swore on a Vulva once.”
Sweet Sweden. Such fine motor works. Premium White.
“She swore on Vulvas, until Mother Sweden started to openly display her affection for the Palestinians.”
She could smell the anti-semitism in the Vulva.
“See isn’t racism fun? ”
Sure is. Any other questions?
Contrariwise, some would say that Jews have corrupted leftism.
“The South will rise again.”
“Yeah as a Mexican state.”
I wonder if Mexicans ever say the same thing about Texas.
I’m familiar with the post war period and can sympatize with the guys in the video. Part of the problem is that these people are used to represent the South.
Oh yeah the media eats them up. “Oh look at the toothless redneck shooting a shotgun at the raccoon in his trashcan, that’s the south!”
“GSG, I know there’s something your old folks will rant deep about unprovoked. Out with it. Is it blacks, arabs, germans, Henry Ford? I’ll bet your grandma gets angry when she sees a Ford or BMW drive by. Lol.”
My dad has an odd obsession with traffic lights. LOL. He believes that they are the first step towards totalitarianism.
Of course he has deep attachment to Israel. He tried to name me after one of the founding fathers but mom caught him in the act. But he does not hate muslims. Of course he obsessed with the holocaust, but he shifted much of his hatred towards Slavs rather than Germans as they have paid their fair share and more. Typically anti Polish propoganda, though he had never met a Pole or Polish american until last year.
So your first name was going to be Theodore?
No. I can’t say any further because can’t disclose too much personal info in the public forum, but he thought it would be funny if my initials were ASS.
Ummmm, I don’t think you’re aware of the fact that the biggest supporters of Jews in the USA are conservative, especially Christian conservatives, and by the way the ones who don’t give a damn about Israel in the USA are in fact liberals. Obama wouldn’t give Netenyahu the time of day. Now please stop trying to sell your left wing bullshit.
There’s Jews and there’s Zionists. I and the rest of the Left don’t mind Jews, but Zionists are dogs.
BTW, you’re a dog too. You’re also banned, rightwing dog. Get ready to lose on November 6, dog.
HAND!
