The Zionist misnamed, “Just A Thought� (from here on referred to as “JAT�) thinks they are pointing out a weakness in the following quote:
JAT writes, “Finally Steve you start your article by saing [sic] that "Hitler seized power in 1933 with a clear fascistic program that called for the annihilation of all socialists, communists, labor
leaders, and Jews." You've done very well to decide on the outcome of an enourmous [sic] historical deabte [sic] about the nature of the Holoucast [sic] in one line. Can you maybe explain to everyone in another article or in a post why it is that it was so clear and where the weaknesses of cumilitave [sic] radicalisation [sic] lie? Please just because you think some people with zero knowledge might read your article and believe it you should still have enough self respect to do the proper research before writing it!�
Just because “JAT� has zero knowledge of the clear program that brought Hitler to power, does not mean that all are unaware of this important history. Likewise it does not mean that I have not done the proper research. Yet “JAT� insists I spell things out.
In 1932, before Hitler had taken power Leon Trotsky wrote of the situation in Germany:
“The system based on bureaucratic decrees is unstable, unreliable, temporary. Capitalism requires another, more decisive policy. The support of the Social Democrats, keeping a suspicious watch on their own workers, is not only insufficient for its purposes, but has already become irksome. The period of halfway measures has passed. In order to try to find a way out, the bourgeoisie must absolutely rid itself of the pressure exerted by the workers’ organizations; these must be eliminated, destroyed, utterly crushed.
“At this juncture, the historic role of fascism begins. It raises to their feet those classes that are immediately above the proletariat and that are ever in dread of being forced down into its ranks; it organizes and militarizes them at the expense of finance capital, under the cover of the official government, and it directs them to the extirpation of proletarian organizations, from the most revolutionary to the most conservative.
“Fascism is not merely a system of reprisals, of brutal force, and of police terror. Fascism is a particular governmental system based on the uprooting of all elements of proletarian democracy within bourgeois society. The task of fascism lies not only in destroying the Communist vanguard but in holding the entire class in a state of forced disunity. To this end the physical annihilation of the most revolutionary section of the workers does not suffice. It is also necessary to smash all independent and voluntary organizations, to demolish all the defensive bulwarks of the proletariat, and to uproot whatever has been achieved during three-quarters of a century by the Social Democracy and the trade unions.� (Vital Questions For The Germ Proletariat January 27, 1932) marxists.org/archive/trotsky/works/index.htm
In another work by Trotsky before Hitler took power Trotsky wrote:
"Fascism has opened up the depths of society for politics.
Today, not only in peasant homes but also in the city skyscrapers,
there lives alongside of the 20th century the 10th or 13th. A hundred
million people use electricity and still believe in the magic power
of signs and exorcisms. What inexhaustible reserves they possess of
darkness, ignorance, and savagery! Despair has raised them to their
feet, fascism has given them a banner. Everything that should have
been eliminated from the national organism in the course of the
unhindered development of society comes out today gushing from the
throat: capitalist society is puking up the undigested barbarism.
Such is the physiology of National Socialism...Fascism has become a
real danger as an acute expression of the helpless position of the
bourgeois regime, the conservative role of the Social Democracy in
this regime, and the accumulated powerlessness of the Communist Party
to abolish it... Worker-communists, you are hundreds of thousands,
millions; you cannot leave for anywhere; there are not enough
passports for you. Should fascism come to power, it will ride over
your skulls and spines like a terrific tank. Your salvation lies in
merciless struggle. And only a fighting unity with the Social
Democratic workers can bring victory."
It seems that with Trotsky's historic and class analysis of society he had no trouble disserning the threat posed by Hitler.
Compare this revolutionary socialist position of Leon Trotsky to the role played by the Zionist movement. Here is my full quote that “JAT’ chose to attempt to attack:
“Hitler seized power in 1933 with a clear fascistic program that
called for the annihilation of all socialists, communists, labor
leaders, and Jews. Despite this fact the Zionist Federation of
Germany sent the Nazi Party a memorandum on June 21, 1933 stating: "…a
rebirth of national life such as is occurring in German life … must
also take place in the Jewish national group. On the foundation of
the new [Nazi] state, which has established itself on the principle of
race, we wish to fit our community into the total structure so that
for us, too, in the sphere assigned to us, fruitful activity for the
Fatherland is possible…." (Brenner, Zionism, pg. 48).
�The policy of supporting Hitler was later upheld at the World
Zionist Organization Congress in 1933 where a motion to take action
against Hitler was defeated 240 to 43. Thus the Jewish boycott of the
German economy at a time of economic weakness and vulnerability was
broken with the World Zionist Organization's Anglo Palestine Bank
resuming trade. In fact the World Zionist Organization became the
principal distributors of Nazi goods in Northern Europe and the Middle
East. (Ralph Schoeneman, The Hidden History of Zionism)
