Zydokomuna Influence Far Beyond Percentages Sarolea

Impressions of Russia, by Charles Sarolea. 1924

Early Soviet Communism: A Largely-Jewish Ruling Elite (Zydokomuna). Holocaust as Revenge Forecast

Charles Sarolea (1870-1953) was Professor at the University of Edinburgh, and the Belgian Consul in Edinburgh. Part of this work overlaps the content of Sarolea’s outstanding work on Poland: See my review of LETTERS ON POLISH AFFAIRS (Classic Reprint).

My review of the present book (based on the original 1924 edition) first focuses on Poland, and then on the first few years of the USSR. I evaluate the Zydokomuna (Judeo-Bolshevism). Charles Sarolea (p. 158) stresses the fact that the crimes of Jewish leaders cannot be blamed on all Jews any more than the crimes of Robespierre and Marat can be blamed on all French. Even so, the Zydokomuna is very real, and the appreciation of its gravity cannot be avoided.

DUBIOUS JEWISH ECONOMIC PRACTICES AND THEIR HARM TO POLAND

Pointedly, Sarolea writes, “But not only have the Eastern Jews a monopoly of licit trades, they have also a monopoly of the illicit trades…One of the most far-reaching evils in Eastern Europe is the reckless speculation in a depreciated currency. And almost in every country the authorities have had to enact severe regulations to restrict some of the worst abuses in that speculation. But the Jews everywhere are evading these regulations. In Danzig [Gdansk], in Vilno [Wilno, Vilnius], in Krakow you can see in the open street crowds of Jews carrying on their Black Exchange, their ‘Bourse Noire.’ At a certain hour of the day and in certain quarters of the city you will be accosted by miserable-looking specimens of humanity, and you will be asked whether you have any English pounds or American dollars to dispose of. The operations of the ‘Bourse Noire’ are prohibited, under dire penalties, yet they continue on a large scale. The explanation is a simple one. The Jewish trader is stronger than the law. Policemen are miserably underpaid, whilst they are generously bribed by the Jewish speculator. The policeman therefore pretends not to see, or he looks on at a distance without interfering. That is partly why the Polish mark is today so terribly depreciated in relation to the pound sterling, although the economic position of Poland has enormously improved.” (p. 175).

CRYING WOLF ABOUT ANTISEMITISM

In evaluating the fantastic but bogus Jewish accusations of massive 1918-era pogroms in Poland [like today’s Jan Grabowski vel Abrahamer, in JUDENJAGD, and the equally-fantastic “200,000 fugitive Jews killed by Poles” during the Holocaust], Sarolea quips, “Yet the Jewish press has acquired the very unpleasant and very dangerous habit of starting the war-whoop of anti-Semitism whenever a writer, however friendly to the Jews, ventures to adduce any facts which may in any way reflect on the Chosen People.” (p. 186).

THE 1920 POLISH-SOVIET WAR [MIRACLE ON THE VISTULA]: POLES SAVED EUROPE FROM COMMUNISM

The author gives unstinting credit to the newly-revived Polish state, “Although the Poles were left in the lurch by the British Government owing to Bolshevist pressure on the Radical party and on the Labour Party, the Bolshevist armies were repelled in the end, and the Dictators were compelled to sign the Peace Treaty of Riga. It is not too much to say that the Polish victory provide to be in literal truth the salvation of Europe. There can be no doubt that in the critical moment, if it had not been for the resistance of the ‘militarist’ Poles, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat would be established today from the shores of the Pacific to the frontiers of Belgium.” (pp. 136-137).

COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA [NOW JEWISH PROPAGANDA]. POLES MUST DO A MUCH BETTER JOB FIGHTING IT

With regards to the 1920 Polish-Bolshevik War, Sarolea quips, “And looking at the Bolshevist plan for campaign, there is the explanation of the indefatigable propaganda, of the conspiracy of lies which the Soviet Government has been conducting, all over Europe against the Polish people. The campaign of calumny has been so successful in Britain that even Conservative leaders like Lord Robert Cecil very unjustly and very ungratefully have come to represent Poland as the ‘Enfant Terrible’ of Europe, as the permanent cause of unrest in the East, whereas, on the contrary, Poland is the only barrier against the forces of disorder and against the Bolshevist advance.” (p. 135).

THE “JEWS HAD IT BAD” EXCULPATION FOR JEWS MAJORING IN COMMUNISM

Sarolea excuses the abundance of Jews in Communism under the familiar meme of Jews being oppressed. However, the facts he presents point to just the opposite. For instance, he writes, “If one considers the statistics of literacy and illiteracy, one discovers the astounding fact that the total number of Jews who could read and write was almost equal to the number of literate Russians. If one considers the statistics of the intellectual and liberal professions, one discovers that the Jews in the Russian Empire constituted a large minority, if not a majority, of the educated class.” (p. 162). This does not exactly sound like a miserably-downtrodden minority!

It is also obvious that the discrimination against Jews in tsarist Russia was less a putdown of Jews as it was a reining-in their expansive privileges. Sarolea tacitly recognizes as much, as he remarks, “Hence also the Jewish partiality for the intellectual activities, hence the enormous proportion of Jews in every liberal profession—in the law, at the Bar, in medicine and in the Press. Hence also the regulations which were enforced as recently as 1914 all over the Russian Empire and which restricted the proportion of Jewish students in the Universities to 6 or 7 percent.” (p. 173). [Sarolea does not tell the reader that even this NUMERUS CLAUSUS enabled the Jews, at 2-4% of Russia’s population, to be overrepresented at universities.]

Sarolea continues, “Without such regulations the majority of the lawyers or doctors of Petrograd, or Moscow, or Warsaw would have been Jews.” (p. 173). And so it happened. Under early Communism, with virtually all restrictions on Jews lifted, 80% of medical students at Moscow University were Jews. (p. 12). [As long as Communism benefitted the Jews—never mind the sufferings of Russians and later Poles—the Jews worldwide were generally favorable [or at least neutral] to Communism. And then the wheel turned again. When Soviet-bloc Communism turned decisively against the Jews (1968), all of a sudden Communism was not so fine anymore.]

ISN’T IT SILLY TO THINK THAT “SUCH A TINY MINORITY” (THE JEWS) COULD BE RULING SUCH A LARGE NATION (RUSSIA)? NOT AT ALL

The British colonial rule over India provides an example of how a tiny elite can rule a large population. The author writes, “I am quite ready to admit that the Jewish leaders are only a proportionately infinitesimal fraction, even as the British rulers in India are an infinitesimal fraction. But it is none the less true that those few Jewish leaders are the masters of Russia, even as the fifteen hundred Anglo-Indian Civil Servants are the masters of India. For any traveler in Russia to deny such a truth would be to deny the evidence of the senses.” (p. 159).

JEWISH LEADERS OF SOVIET COMMUNISM: THEIR CALIBRE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEIR OVERABUNDANCE

Sarolea perceptively notes that, “On the other hand, if the Dictators do not deserve their reputation as good organizers, it would be impossible to give them too high praise as agitators and propagandists. Even Lord Northcliffe was a mere dilettante compared with Trotsky-Bronstein, Radek-Sobelsohn, and Zinoviev-Apfelbaum, the three Jewish politicians who for the last two years have been the most powerful personal factors in the Soviet, especially after Lenin was struck down with paralysis. In all the arts of intrigue and conspiracy those three amazing characters have never been equaled in modern European history.” (p. 104).

WRONG PERPETRATORS, RIGHT EVENT: FAMOUS GERMAN JEW WALTHER RATHENAU PREDICTED THE HOLOCAUST 20 YEARS IN ADVANCE (LONG BEFORE HITLER)

As if being able to know the future, author Charles Sarolea, in this 1924 book, warned that, “We have simply to admit the fact that the Bolshevist Revolution has been largely engineered by men belonging to the Jewish race. We have to face the further fact that the deeds committed by these men have roused fierce vindictive passions in the hearts of the Russian people, and that those passions in the immediate future may threaten millions of innocent Jews with terrible reprisals. I seem still to hear the ringing in my ears the gruesome prophecy made to me three years ago by the most illustrious Jew of Germany, himself a victim to anti-Semitic fanaticism. After many discussions with the late Mr. Rathenau, I asked him one night what would be, in his opinion, the end of the Russian tragedy. His reply was: ‘There can be little doubt that the end of the Russian tragedy will be the most appalling pogrom which has ever taken place in the history of the Jewish race.’” (pp. 158-159).

In the Nazi German-made Shoah, millions of Jews, innocent of Communism, would be put to death. Earlier, largely under the leadership of Jewish Communists, millions of people, innocent of any wrongs to Jews, had been put to death.
