Stalingrad was only the beginning of its defeat
„The
Womb this crawled from is still going strong.“ (Bert Brecht)
This
Brechtian line from the epilogue of his play 'Arturo Ui' refers
neither to a single man nor to a woman. The metaphor rather
epitomizes an economical and political system that has performed at
its „best“ during the NAZI-period between 1933 to 1945.
The
English translation below does not adaequately reflect the meaning
of Brecht's precise and dialectic wording in German.
Therefore
learn how to see and not to gape
To
act instead of talking all day long
The
world was almost won by such an ape!
The
nations put him where his kind belong.
But
don’t rejoice too soon at your escape
The
womb he crawled from is still going strong.
(International
Socialism,
February 1977

Brecht's
wording offers a key to comprehension and opens the path to the
transformation of an unhealthy state of social affairs.
Hitler
as an individual certainly was a most disagreable creature, but he
was no „ape“. The jobless survivor of World War I was
definitely manoeuvred by the social forces who had carried him to
power. Under their well defined terms he did his job 'well' up to
his undignified end. He had served and was easily to be discarded
when no longer wanted. A sentence at the International War Tribunal
in Nuremberg would have been much better for the world. His
principals would have to be named.
However
the undignified death of the 'dictator' and the defeat of
Nazi-Germany symbolized the weakening of the economical system
Hitler had stood for.
In
1935 the Bulgarian communist, Georgi Dimitrov (1882˗1949), had
called fascism “the open terrorist dictatorship of the most
reactionary, most chauvinistic and most imperialist elements of
finance capital.”
This
definition had set the ground for the most powerful resistance
movement finance capital has ever met.
Comprehending
the current war drive demands a closer look at the implications of
Dimitrov's once popular definition.
It
seems impossible to challenge the profound economical, politicial and
cultural decay the world is confronted with without analyzing its
systemic root causes. Global militarism and the death toll it
entrenches cannot be confronted successfuly without limiting the
profit making mechanism. Peace and justice will come only as a result
of such a policy.
For
too long now has the world been duped, for too long now have most
scholars neglected the study of three precious volumes of the
CAPITAL by Karl Marx. And yet the present state of affairs shows the
profound forsight of this German scholar of Jewish origin. By
discarding the relevance of Marxens studies many other great analysts
and strategists, like Lenin and Stalin have been discarded.
Stalingrad
had earmarked a historic turn. An army of one million excellently
equipped soldiers had been forced there into defeat. The greatest
army of world history had eventually been crushed in a joint effort.
And
yet, Brecht's prophetic epilogue of his Arturo Ui can open up our
minds into seeing that facism as a system with all its lethal
consequences has not been overcome on a global scale.
On
the contrary - Nazy Germany has almost reached posthumously some of
its major goals.
Nazi-German
Fascism from an early stage onwards had focused on whiping out what
they qualified as „Jewish Bolshevism“ and consequently wanted
to enslave the peoples in the East of Europe, namely those who had
put into practice many of Marxens ideas. They wanted of course
essentially to get hold of the precious natural resources of Russia,
but also did they yawn for taking their soil for settlements for the
„nordic race“. These new settlements were meant to feed their
home based population. They strived at world rulership for German
capital. „Jewish Bolshevism“ that had gained power in Soviet
Russia and enormous influence in the world was a major barrier to
this end.
In
deed many leaders in Soviet Union were of Jewish origin. The fact
that Jewish people had been discriminated against heavily might have driven
them to communism. Communism is also grounded spiritually in the Jewish-Christian
heritage and the universal strive for justice and truthfulness is rooted there.
Bolshevism,
in the eyes of the NAZI- rulers of German was almost identical with
Judaism. This is why the Jews were to be exterminated.
The
other reason for going after the Jews of Europe was the Zionist
project.
