Entry: Pat, John, and the Others Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/pat_john_and_the_others#28290 Post contents: I wasn't aware of Lukacs' Jewish background. That, too, would explain his minimizing of Jewish Bolshevism's epic crimes against humanity. (It also sheds light on Lukacs' hostility towards Pat Buchanan.) I don't mean to suggest by this that all Jews are incapable of objective thought in the area of Communism (Gottfried proves otherwise), but I have seen too many Jews soft-pedal Communism's crimes to dismiss the pattern. And the Jewish Neocons that finally turned on Communism with a vengeance did so mostly after Communism turned on the Jews. While it was merely killing off Christians, they took no issue. I think it is fair to say that there is an authoritarian component to Judaism that shows through in Jewish-formulated public policy. I believe if America had been properly educated as to the decisive Jewish role in Communism, it would have noticed the decisive Jewish role in Neoconservatism and been less likely to get behind the Bush administration's Soviet-like foreign and domestic policies because it would have recognized Zionism (Jewish nationalism) as one of the driving forces behind the Iraq war enterprise, and seen that the nascent Security State was modeled largely on the Jewish state and also on the Soviet Union. Luksacs may have good (personal) reasons for hating Germans, but if he is going to play by those rules and carry his vendetta into his work, he should recognize that victims of Communism might have good (personal) reasons for hating Jews and carrying a vendetta into theirs. Is either one rational? Let’s just say neither one is entirely irrational. But let’s not pretend that victims of Communism or of Nazism are likely to be objective in the area of their victimizers. I also might add that Jews have yet to come to terms with their people’s role in Communism, whereas Germans came to terms with the innate Germanic characteristics that contributed to the rise of Nazism a long time ago.
