Jewish Involvement in Communism No ‘German Invention’The basis for <strong>the</strong> postwar condemnation of NationalSocialism was <strong>the</strong> accusation that it actedout of Germanic “race pride” <strong>and</strong> aggressivelystrove to conquer “Lebensraum” in <strong>the</strong> east.Fur<strong>the</strong>r, Germany was accused of spreading <strong>the</strong> “falsehood”worldwide that Bolshevism was identical to “internationalJewry,” which supposedly financed <strong>and</strong> supportedit for many decades. The supposed truth, we are told, isthat <strong>the</strong> world-encompassing goals of <strong>the</strong> Bolsheviks <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong> reign of terror <strong>the</strong>y spread were recognizably a “<strong>Russia</strong>n”phenomenon.Aleks<strong>and</strong>r Solzhenitsyn examines in detail <strong>the</strong> originsof Bolshevism. He goes into both its international connections,<strong>and</strong> into <strong>the</strong> involvement of <strong>Russia</strong>n <strong>Jews</strong> in <strong>the</strong> revolutionaryevents of 1917-18, <strong>and</strong> he studies <strong>the</strong> totalityof Soviet history [1917-91], with all its consequences,which clearly were directed against <strong>the</strong> <strong>Russia</strong>n <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rSoviet-incorporated ethnicities.In <strong>the</strong> following overview we have striven to reduce <strong>the</strong>multiplicity of names <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir ranks <strong>and</strong> functions in <strong>the</strong>Soviet power system that Solzhenitsyn lists to <strong>the</strong> most significantones.Solzhenitsyn begins rightly with <strong>the</strong> obligations <strong>and</strong> religiousroots of Jewry as scattered across <strong>the</strong> world in <strong>the</strong>Diaspora. From <strong>the</strong>se derive obligations for a border-supersedingcooperation that is not only Zionist (benefiting<strong>the</strong> concept of a Jewish “State of Israel”) but much more.This worldwide, religiously <strong>and</strong> racially motivated requirementof loyalty, which crystallized during World War I on<strong>the</strong> East Coast of <strong>the</strong> U.S. among high-level personages ofinternational Jewry, also exerted itself upon all <strong>Jews</strong> livingaround <strong>the</strong> world. Solzhenitsyn makes two things clear:1) There is a factual basis for asserting that <strong>the</strong>re existsa globe-encompassing, comprehensive code that not onlydefines “good” <strong>and</strong> “evil” in terms of religion <strong>and</strong> race,but also derives from it vast consequences in imperialpower-politics; <strong>and</strong>2) There is an absolutely unilateral Jewish evaluation<strong>and</strong> appreciation of any human action depending on <strong>the</strong>religion, people <strong>and</strong> race to which <strong>the</strong> person in questionadheres.Solzhenitsyn says: “It is said of David Ben Gurion, tha<strong>the</strong> once told <strong>the</strong> world: ‘What is important is what <strong>the</strong> <strong>Jews</strong>do, <strong>and</strong> not what <strong>the</strong> goyim have to say about it.’”With this basic attitude, <strong>and</strong> supported by terrorist organizations,Ben Gurion justified <strong>the</strong> proclamation of <strong>the</strong>state of Israel on May 14, 1948.Therefore <strong>the</strong> Red revolution of 1917 was a convergenceof not one but two internationally minded worldviews,whose bearers certified to each o<strong>the</strong>r—<strong>the</strong> one on<strong>the</strong> basis of “class warfare,” <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> basis of anallegedly “chosen” religious faith (but in reality a commonethnicity)—that everything <strong>the</strong>y did was always legal <strong>and</strong>could not be measured by any o<strong>the</strong>r yardstick. ThusSolzhenitsyn quotes from <strong>the</strong> words of U.S. SupremeCourt justice <strong>and</strong> prominent Zionist Louis Br<strong>and</strong>eis:If for any reason people of Jewish blood are experiencingsuffering, our sympathy <strong>and</strong> our assistance flow instinctivelyto <strong>the</strong>m in whatever country <strong>the</strong>y may live,without asking for <strong>the</strong> nuances of <strong>the</strong>ir faith or lack of it. 11Solzhenitsyn supplements this with a quote from aJewish authoress:And naturally this history [i.e., of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Jews</strong>] was, as witho<strong>the</strong>r peoples, not only of <strong>the</strong> pious, but also of <strong>the</strong> shameless;not only of <strong>the</strong> defenseless <strong>and</strong> those taken away to bemurdered, but also of men with arms bringing death to o<strong>the</strong>rs;not only of <strong>the</strong> hunted <strong>and</strong> persecuted but also of <strong>the</strong>hunters <strong>and</strong> persecutors. There are pages of this historywhich one does not open without trembling. And <strong>the</strong>se are<strong>the</strong> pages that are systematically <strong>and</strong> purposefully eradicatedfrom <strong>the</strong> consciousness of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Jews</strong>. 12Not only must <strong>the</strong> nature of <strong>the</strong>se Bolshevik deeds bediscussed but also <strong>the</strong> percentage of <strong>Jews</strong> in <strong>the</strong> Bolshevikcadres. In this context as well Solzhenitsyn quotes fromJewish authors, e.g., <strong>the</strong> Israeli M. Agursky, who, lookingbackward after 50 years, wrote:The massive penetration of <strong>Jews</strong> into all areas of <strong>Russia</strong>nlife <strong>and</strong> into <strong>the</strong> top Soviet leadership during <strong>the</strong> first20 years after <strong>the</strong> Revolution proved hardly constructivefor Jewry, <strong>and</strong> even harmful. 13What deeply affected <strong>the</strong> soul of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Russia</strong>n peoplewas <strong>the</strong> assault against <strong>the</strong> Orthodox Church—duringwhich, just between 1918 <strong>and</strong> 1924, 8,000 clergymen wereexecuted. 14The chairman of <strong>the</strong> “Federation of Godless Militants”was Trotsky himself. His successor, likewise a Jew,EmelianYaroslavsky (born Gubelmann), rose from mem-10 S E P T E M B E R / O C T O B E R 2 0 0 8 B A R N E S R E V I E W .
