Europa: The Last Battle: Difference between revisions

'''Claim''' (03:09): "Hess argued that the international jewish bankers will help in his realisation of stealing the land of the palestinians"

'''Claims''' (04:08): "''Hess was a close friend and collaborator of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels''" He was indeed a close associate, together with other young hegelians, and they corresponded an influenced eachother in early writings. '''Verdict:''' True!

"''Karl Marx and Engels were Jewish''" Engels was not Jewish, his lineage is accessible here.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/Friedrich-Engels/6000000008380892494 </ref> The father of Karl Marx was a jew by birth, however he converted to christianity to pursue a law career, Marx at the time 6 years old, was also converted. Simultaneously, Marx has been accused of antisemitism for his writings on the jewish question, which shows the complete retardation of speculative, non-material ideology. '''Verdict:''' False

''"Karl Marx real name was Mordechai Levy"'' His fathers, Heschel Lewy, changed his own family name before Marx was born. Not once in his life did Karl Marx use his fathers birth name in writing. '''Verdict:''' False

"''Hess converted them to communism and assisted them with their work The Communist Manifesto''" Hess first came into contact with Marx in 1942, and their relationship was quite the opposite, Marx was the teacher of Hess.<ref>"[Marx] goes beyond Strauss and even beyond Feuerbach . . . Such a man I always wanted to have as my teacher in philosophy. Only now do I feel what an idiot in philosophy have I been. But patience! I will still learn something. Dr Marx – this is the name of my idol" - A letter to Berthold Auerbach by Moses Hess

https://assets.cambridge.org/052138/7566/frontmatter/0521387566_frontmatter.pdf</ref> Working together on the newspaper. Marx early writings are available here,<ref>https://files.libcom.org/files/Marx-Early-Writings.pdf</ref> where he slowely lands in the conclusion of communism, from an entirely different angle, an economical, than Hess.  '''Verdict''':

'''Claim''' (06:40): ''Marx openly encouraged genocide against slavs, referring to them as "racial trash"''. There is absolutely zero record of this. He would routinely critique precisely such racial incitements.<ref>This was done not in order to reconcile us with the other provinces, but to stir up hatred between the provinces and to '''exploit''' the '''national enmity''' between the '''Germans''' and '''Slavs''', and the regional hatred of every petty German province against all the neighboring provinces, '''in the interests of patriarchal feudal despotism'''. Divide et impera!

'''Claim''' (06:45): ''"Marx said that [slavs] must perish in a revolutionary holocaust (in 1856)"'' The quote shown on screen is as follows: "the classes and races too weak to master the new conditions of life must give away... They must perish in a revolutionary holocaust." The first part is a real quote, from 1853, not 1856. So close! Marx is commenting on the refugees of poor farmers from Ireland due to the negative effects off industrialisation. He sees these negative effects as an inevitable part of capitalist modernisation, so he is, in his own mind, not arguing for anything.<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1853/03/04.htm"Society is undergoing a silent revolution, which must be submitted to, and which takes no more notice of the human existences it breaks down than an earthquake regards the houses it subverts. The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way."</ref> The second part is completely fictional, perhaps it was revealed to Tobias B. in a dream. '''Verdict:''' False

 

'''Claim (08:36):''' "The wealthy jews rule the world; the fate of the governments lies in their hands. They start wars between countries, and when they wish, the governments make peace. When the wealthy jews sing, the nations and their leaders dance along, and meanwhile the jews get richer!" a quote by Josef Herzl.
