Karl Marx on The Jewish Question(tm)

Do I hate the “Jewish Question”? Yes, because it treats Jews as something other than what they are: a half-White population which is mixed with the third world which orbits Europeans because they are closer to us than the third world.

It makes Jews the focus instead of looking at questions of national identity, culture, and genetics. It also has a nasty tendency to become a universal scapegoat, where if you look at any dysfunction in society and find one Jewish person, the brain goes “Aha! It’s the disciples of Molech yet again!”

Such thinking naturally leads to race war ideation. This is not to say that Palestinians belong in Israel or Jews belong in Europe, mainly because diversity itself is toxic, no matter how great the groups are or how much the hosts want to be accommodating and accepting.

In a really sane world, the diaspora would end and all Jewish-heritage people would go to Israel, which is a thriving state that has risen above most of its neighbors. Every nation would be mono-ethnic. The Palestinians would go join their co-ethnics in Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.

But still, people love talking about The Jews.™ My guess is that much of this has to do with Christianity, which since it was attached to the West, attaches the West to Israel and to the history of the Jewish people. As Christianity fades among ethnic Western Europeans, this attachment is loosening.

In any case, Communist author Karl Marx had an ambivalent view of the Jews. Although he was ethnically Jewish his family converted to Christianity:

Marx apparently was born Jewish — in 1818. His father had converted to Lutheranism in 1816 or 1817; his mother converted when Karl was 7, in 1825. Karl was baptized when he was 6, in 1824. The home he grew up in was non-religious.

So the correct answer seems to be: yes and no. Are you talking about his genes or about his religion?

To insist that someone with Jewish ancestry, who has converted, remains Jewish tends to be an anti-Semitic attitude.

The above is a misdirect: Jews are an ethnic group, so if you are ethnically Jewish, you are Jewish, although you may also be a Christian or Buddhist or another religion.

Marx acknowledged the same, seeing Jewishness as a contrarian condition defined only in resistance and opposition to the host culture:

The Christian state can behave towards the Jew only in the way characteristic of the Christian state – that is, by granting privileges, by permitting the separation of the Jew from the other subjects, but making him feel the pressure of all the other separate spheres of society, and feel it all the more intensely because he is in religious opposition to the dominant religion.

But the Jew, too, can behave towards the state only in a Jewish way – that is, by treating it as something alien to him, by counterposing his imaginary nationality to the real nationality, by counterposing his illusory law to the real law, by deeming himself justified in separating himself from mankind, by abstaining on principle from taking part in the historical movement, by putting his trust in a future which has nothing in common with the future of mankind in general, and by seeing himself as a member of the Jewish people, and the Jewish people as the chosen people.

Again here when he speaks of “Christians,” he means ethnically German Christians. They can no more change their ethnicity than he could, so they remain Germans even if they convert to Buddhism or become New Agers or something.

The important point that Marx makes here is that diversity is a failure because it either requires a group to give up its identity, as his family did, or forces them into a position of being opposition to the host, even if eventually the new group takes over.

In other words, diversity encourages groups not to see themselves as worthy in themselves, but to have them define themselves as an opposite to the other groups, especially the founding group. There is no way out of that dilemma but ongoing race warfare.

Jews get blamed for the problem of diversity because Jews, along with Saami and Roma, were the first real diversity we had in the West (the French do not count… well maybe they do). Consequently, they were the visual symbol of the failure of diversity.

If we look at the bigger picture however, diversity in any form — ethnic, racial, cultural, religious — is massively destructive and will end in genocide, whether active like the Armenian Holocaust and Holodomor, or passive like what we are seeing in the West with anti-whitism today.
