The Rothschild Dynasty 65<br />

Communists and Socialists. One such person was<br />

Ludwig Borne, a strong supporter of <strong>the</strong> notion that all<br />

<strong>the</strong> kings of Europe should be dethroned and replaced by<br />

James, with <strong>the</strong> exception of Louis Philippe who would<br />
