Revision as of 01:52, 1 February 2024
Europa: The Last Battle is a ten-part series made by swedish neonazi Tobias Bratt. It is focused on Nazi apologia, historical revisionism and conspiracy theories about jews and communism. It's composed of wholly unfounded and sourceless claims mixed in with known historical facts, which makes it hard for the average person to seperate truth from falsehood. It's widely cited by neonazis on the internet.
All good propaganda contains a grain of truth. To lie is very easy, but the truth requires close study. We in the infrared collective are commited to the final and most complete truth. This page will serve as a master page for debunking Europa: The Last Battle. This time, with real sources.
Part 1
Claim (02:22): "in the middle of the 19th century Moses Hess formulated the first written principles for communism" This claim is loosly based on Hess association with Marx and Engels, and Moses view that history will culminate in the introduction of common property,[1] formulated in his Spinozist book Die heilige Geschichte der Menschheit (1937), which had no explicit mention of communism. Hess was, however, not the first person to use the word communism, nor the first to formulate a political platform with the word, neither was he the first person to argue for the abolition of private property. It's real origins stem from people and groups arguing for a communal organisation of society in France and England during the mid 19th century, Commun, Communion and community. It can not be pinned to one person.[2] First attested in writing - meaning first record of political principles - by John Goodwin Barmby in 1841, founder of the utopian, christian, London Communist Propaganda Society.[3] People arguing for the abolition of private property (as Engels put it, the meaning of communism in one sentence), predated the 19th century. For example the French Catholic abbé Jean Meslier's Testament (1729) Verdict: False
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.[4] 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.[5] Working together on the newspaper. Marx early writings are available here,[6] 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[7] Verdict: False.
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.[8] The second part is completely fictional, perhaps it was revealed to Tobias B. in a dream. Verdict: False
