The socialism of fools.
Boris Gulko
In his famous aphorism: "anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools”, August Bebel identified three important components of social life: socialism, Jews and fools. In my unpublished essay written 35 years ago I argued that socialism is a quest for justice. And Socialists, respectively, are people that are carriers of this desire. Although socialism relates mainly to economic distribution, it is relevant to everything that is distributed unequally. The first Socialist was probably Procrustus, son of Greek God Poseidon. He rebelled against the inequalities in people’s size, either stretched or amputated their limbs on his bed. Hence the expression “Procrustean bed”. A Socialist in the field of talent was Antonio Salieri, quoting here a great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, in whose poem he sadly speaks about the distribution of talents: “There is no truth on Earth, but there is no truth above either”. By poisoning Mozart, he thinks he reached equality: “What good does it do if Mozart was alive and reaches new heights? Would he elevate Art to the new level? No, it would fall to where it was and disappear as he did…” This approach was adopted by the Bolsheviks. They didn’t believe one had to be born with a talent. They “appointed” talents to people of their choosing. Thus, they murdered talented Vavilov and appointed pseudo-scientist Lysenko to be the leader of the Academia of Sciences. Thus, anybody could be “talented”. Isn't it equality? Soviet Union solved the problem of economic inequality the same way - the rich have been destroyed by robbing them and stripping them of their wealth, and now everyone was poor. All, but some. Secret access to the goodies was available to some privileged citizenry in special shops, but everyone pretended it didn’t exist. Wealth or economic well-being, according to Soviet morality, was despised. When Ostap Bender bragged to a group of students about having a million roubles, they shunned him. Jews formed clandestine workshops and produced goods, facilitating the lives of fellow citizens. They earned decent money. Khrushchev closed them and shot the owners, with tacit approval of the masses. Comment [A1]: Ferdinand August Bebel was a German socialist politician, writer, and orator. He is best remembered as one of the founders of the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Germany in 1869. Comment [A2]: Antonio Salieri, Italian composer, contemporary of Mozart, best known for a rumor of his envy of Mozart’s genius and allegedly poisoning him. Comment [A3]: The majority faction of the Russian Social Democratic Party, which was renamed the Communist Party after seizing power in the October Revolution of 1917. Comment [A4]: Vavilov was a talented Soviet scientist, innovator in agricultural genetics Comment [A5]: Soviet agricultural scientist, known for his pseudoscientific conformist to communist regime position. Comment [A6]: Main character of a popular novel “Golden Calf” by Ilf and Petrof. Comment [A7]: Rouble is Russian currency. Comment [A8]: Nikita Khrushchev was the leader of Soviet Union after the death of Joseph Stalin. 2 The idea of equitable economic distribution, promoted by Obama during the last eight years, actually triumphed this year in America. Only scams and intrigues of the Clintons did not allow socialist Bernie Sanders to become President and to continue what Obama started. Perhaps Hillary in time will be awarded a golden statue and be declared a "Mother of the Nation". From time immemorial, women were unfairly distributed among men as well. Some men got women pretty as angels, with angelic disposition. Others – just the opposite. Thinkers like Plato, Campanella and Chernyshevsky offered to make women public property. The society moved further in this direction, when feminists released women from the obligation of a family, hippies went further yet, and then we had a sexual revolution, followed by the disintegration of the family institution. Now, in a society of emancipated women, almost nobody is lucky to find an angel-like female. But a number of suicides among single men over 40 keeps on growing. But the most severe problem of those seeking justice is a variety of inequality between nations and races. Half a century ago it was believed that the liberated peoples of Africa will blossom with lush new civilization. It did not catch on in any of these countries. All countries south of the United America, populated by Latinos - descendants of Spaniards mixed with the Indians, can be described by the term “Banana Republic", indicating the absence of appropriate organizational structure and the abundant presence of corruption. For many centuries Jews suffered from the legal inequalities. In Russia, where Jews ended up because of misunderstanding – a failed partition of Poland sectioned off some areas with Jewish population, which now belonged to Russia – all legislation was focused on the infringement of the rights of the Jews. According to historian Paul Johnson, corruption associated with this injustice, caused the loss of Empire. In European countries Jews were forbidden to practice almost all professions except for not prestigious albeit profitable usury. Later, when the moneylenders were renamed “bankers”, the profession became more respectable. Napoleon emancipated European Jews, who then became obsessed was the struggle against inequality, from which their ancestors suffered for so long. European socialism has become, to a large extent, the creation of the Jews, dreaming of the equality for all. But the main theoretician of Socialism, Karl Marx was immediately faced with a severe dilemma: the emancipated Jews quickly became more successful than all the others. It was impossible to achieve universal equality, not having to 3 deal with the Jews. According to Paul Johnson, Marx has created his entire economic theory on having to do away with the Jewish capital and with the influence of Jewry. Lenin believed the only way to solve the "Jewish problem" would be the method of his grandfather – assimilation. The third pillar of Socialism, not international but national version of it – Hitler – also has not seen any other way to achieve its goals without the extermination of the Jews. Thus, for the purposes of Socialism created by Jews, in order to achieve universal equality, you must get rid of the Jews themselves, who don’t fit into “Procrustean Bed” of equality - whether by method of Lenin or Hitler. Jewish Socialists, recreating Israel, also faced the necessity to equate Jews with other nations. Ben-Gurion dreamed: "When we have a Jewish thief, a Jewish prostitute, a Jewish murderer, then we will know that we have our own State." Golda Meir as Minister of Foreign Affairs spent 10 years sailing to Africa, depleting resources of newborn Israel, because it was considered a critical challenge of Jews to help Africans and raise them up to Jewish level. Fast growing hostility of all the other socialists in the world became an unpleasant surprise for young Israel State. Shimon Peres once asked Austrian Chancellor, Vice-President of the Socialist International, a Jew himself, Bruno Kreisky: "Why do you dislike us so much?" Do you believe that Peres, himself a Socialist, did not know why the Socialists despise the Jewish national idea? Had he not heard, as Ben-Gurion called the liberal nationalist "Vladimir Jabotinsky's Hitler" and even didn’t allowed him to be buried in Israel? And Golda Meir said that for her Socialism is more important than Zionism? Didn’t he read, that Golda bragged how she persuaded the Arabs not to leave Israel and build a bright future together? Don’t you know that Peres himself organized the Oslo treaty which equalizes the rights of Jews and Arabs of the land of Israel, and his "poodle" Yossi Beilin, as Minister of Justice, established in his Ministry quotas for Arabs? Quota is an attempt to impose equality of those who are unequal. It turns out to be advantageous to belong to a group of less capable, less diligent, less strong, and less civilized. It’s a mystical property of socialism: somehow, the struggle for equality always leads to inequality. As succinctly identified by pig Napoleon in Orwell’s “Animal Farm:" All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." In the United States, since the proclamation of the Lyndon Johnson’s "Great Society” America strongly advanced on the way of the pursuit of Justice, 4 women's rights became above the rights of men, representatives of national minorities rights has gotten above the rights of whites, rights of LGBTIQ became above the rights of the heterosexuals, and combating Islamophobia" has made Muslims a "protected group". The Museum of 9/11 attack, committed by Muslims does not even mention the word" Islam ". Sociologist David Goldman determines the difference between the Liberals (in America this concept becomes synonymous with Socialists): "Liberals believe that social engineering can achieve universal success; the conservatives want to encourage individual responsibility and initiative. For the Liberals, human failure is the failure of the society; for conservatives, citizens should have the opportunity to succeed or fail based on their own qualities. Trump's success in the presidential campaign showed that the idea of equality of the value of all population groups advocated by liberal intellectuals did not spread roots very deep into society. It turned out that many Latinos don’t care for their fellow gang members who terrorize their streets, and nearly a third of Latinos voted for Trump, who promised to deport illegals with criminal records. It turned out that the attractiveness of "Black lives matter" movement didn’t outweigh promised by Trump law and order, and many blacks didn’t go to the polls. After the election Bacchanalia attacks of those seeking justice moved from Trump onto Steve Bannon, "the architect of his victory, media genius, who won the battle with less than the fifth of Hillary's financial resources", as wrote about him Goldman. The Conservative editor of the Jewish Journal “Commentary” John Podhoretz blamed Bannon, who leads the right wing site "Breitbart": “He uses the site to promote old-fashioned conservatism, to which we owe anti-Semitism, as well as direct racism and white nationalism". This tune is being blabbed everywhere from left to right-wing publications. But why Bannon is an anti-Semite, if his site is the most pro-Israel site in American media space? Do you know what "white nationalism" is? I don’t think you do, because there is no "white nation". And what about racism? There is racism in America. Four years ago, Obama offered blacks to vote “against our enemies." And this year the same Obama threatened his fellow African-Americans: if they don’t vote for Hillary he would view it as a personal insult. Black racism somehow fits American Liberals’ notion of fighting for justice. After the electoral defeat in all authorities: the Presidency, the Congress and Senate, Governors and staff of the Assembly, the Democratic Party of America, Comment [A9]: From Roman mythology, wild celebration named Bachus, God of Wine and drinking 5 in recent years, gradually turned Socialist, is facing a cruel mirror. Caroline Glick in her column of November 17 analyzes: Populist Democrats course requires them to become more racist, more authoritarian in their political correctness, more aggressive and more doctrinaire party. It also would require them to become more anti-Semitic. Anti-Semitism, as well as hatred for the police and for Christians, is a necessary component of democratic populism. Jews and especially the Jewish State, as well as Evangelical Christians and policemen, are the only teams that you can, in authoritarian universe of political correctness, to hate, to discriminate against and blame for all the troubles. So naturally the main contender for the post of Chairman of the Democratic Party of United States Congressman now is Keith Ellison -- pupil of "the nation of Islam and its leader Luis Farrakhan, an anti-Semite and an enemy of Israel, who stated that the attack on the twin towers in September 2001 is similar to the provocations of the arson of the Reichstag, Berlin, in 1933. We must conclude that consistent desire of Socialists for justice inevitably leads them to anti-Semitism. Therefore, socialism, using the Bebel’s formula, is the socialism of fools.
