Cultural Marxism HIstorical Inevitability Slogan Staar

Poland, 1944-1962: The Sovietization of a Captive People, by Richard Felix Staar. 1975

Zydokomuna “Jews Were Poor” Exculpation Fails. Parallels Between Communism and Neo-Marxism. The Historical Inevitability Tool

Although this book was written over 50 years ago, when Poland was ruled by a Soviet-imposed Communist puppet, it remains relevant to this day, as many of the techniques of classical Marxism live on, in modified form, in cultural Marxism.

POVERTY AND INJUSTICE NO EXCUSE FOR THE ZYDOKOMUNA

Support for Communism, as by a disproportionate fraction of Jews, is commonly reflexively blamed on poverty and injustice. This exculpation will not do. Staar comments: “The popular appeal of Communism in Poland has been rather ineffective. This was always true, even in the early 1930’s when the unemployment and low standard of living theoretically should have provided a fertile field for the development and mass acceptance of Communism.” (p. 7). Clearly, then, poverty and injustice do not automatically translate into support for Communism, and so is no excuse for the Zydokomuna. The real explanation for the Zydokomuna must come from elsewhere.

LATE-WWII GROWTH IN POLISH COMMUNISM

There are many tables of facts and figures in this book. For instance, the Polish Communist Party had 4,000 members in July 1942, 8,000 in January 1943, 20,000 in July 1944, 30,000 in January 1945, and a precipitously-increased 300,000 in April 1945. (p. 167).

STALIN: “IT’S NOT WHO VOTES IT’S WHO COUNTS THE VOTES”

The sham elections of January 1947 that “legally” brought the Communists to power depended upon several layers of deception, fraud, and terror. Hundreds of thousands of potential anti-Communists were arrested, and thousands were murdered. (p. 52-on). A fake peasant party was added to the ballot in order to confuse the voters. Party officials parsed the votes.

CULTURAL MARXISM TODAY

This book is more than a history of the first eighteen years of the Soviet-imposed Communist puppet state. It also provides details which have a disturbing similarity to non-Communist events going on today. For instance, open voting en mass was encouraged by the Communists in order to intimidate opponents (p. 55), and a similar Obama-backed measure now functions in the US for voting on forming a labor union.

The events leading up to the 1946 referendum included a smear campaign against the non-Communist PSL (Peasant Party). Fake documents were created to “prove” that it was pro-Nazi and that its members had earlier collaborated with the Nazis. (p. 47). This is reminiscent of the LEWAK smear campaign against RADIO MARYJA in contemporary Poland, and against conservative Christians –the much-demonized religious right (Haters!) in the USA.

THE HISTORICAL INEVITABILITY GAME

Leftists have always used assertions of historical inevitability to try to intimidate their opponents. Khrushchev was well-known for his we-will-bury-you statement against the USA, which ostensibly referred to economic progress, not military victory. In like manner, Wladyslaw Gomulka contended that, within 10-15 years [of 1960], the socialist (Communist) states will overtake the capitalist states economically. (p. 65). Laugh.

The historical-inevitably slogan remains a handy tool of today’s cultural Marxists. For instance, some homosexual groups argue that worldwide acceptance of LGBT is not only an inevitability, but that, 50 years from now, no one will even be talking about it. Softer versions of the LEWACTWO historical inevitability slogan also exist. For instance, if you disagree with the left-wing agenda, then, if nothing else, “You are on the wrong side of history.”

DELEGITIMIZING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, NOTABLY IN POLAND

The chapter on the Church discusses the direct persecution and indirect measures it faced from the Communist authorities. The Communists slyly tried to enlist “progressive” Catholics, who supported the following premise: “Religion is becoming a purely private matter. In the whole collective field of the modern world, it is not Christ and the Church but Marx and socialism that have a voice…” (p. 262).

The perceptive reader can immediately recognize similar modern leftist-secular attempts that—too sophisticated to usually attack religion frontally–instead try to silence it, marginalize it, drive it out of public life, and relegate it to the private sphere–All by such rhetorical devices and slogans such as “separation of church and state”, “sensitivity to minority religions”, and (what else?) “diversity”. American organizations such as the ACLU, and comparable forces working for the atheization of modern Poland, also come to mind. The cultivation of “progressive Catholics” (KATOLEWICA) serves the purposes of certain Jews, and of cultural Marxists.

THE COMMUNISTS COPIED THE NAZIS

The Communists in Poland developed the para-military SP (Sluzba Polsce) that was modeled after Arbeitdienst in Nazi Germany. Membership was compulsory. It existed not so much to perform unpaid work and to train youth as it did to admittedly indoctrinate youth in Communist ways. (pp. 221-222). The perceptive reader can see the parallels with the Obama Administration and its desire for a one-day-mandatory American youth organization or police force accountable to him.
