In an interesting book by M.Voslensky’s “Nomenklatura” first encountered a comparison of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union with the mafia, that is, a well-organized gang of criminals. But there was NOT just a comparison, but very well-reasoned arguments in favor of this opinion.
Those who wish can see for themselves by reading this book.
I was interested in something else: The similarity of the behavior of Soviet mafiosi and the founding fathers of the “Ghost of Communism roaming Europe” Marx and Engels.
First of all, an ordinary question: Who or what is the mafia’s worst enemy?
The state service of “law and order”? No way.
Almost anyone can be bribed there, from an ordinary policeman to the highest ranks. The only difference is the size of the bribe.
Maybe the judicial structures of the state?
Similar to the previous ones!
“Legislators”?
Similar to the previous ones!
(See at least the excellent Italian film “Confession of the Police Commissioner to the Prosecutor of the Republic”)
SO WHO IS this INCORRUPTIBLE??? And is there one at all?
THERE IS! AND INCORRUPTIBLE!
Another mafia!
A competitor who takes away the source of income itself and is being fought to the death.
Surprised by such passages, the reader will ask: What does all this have to do with the beginning of the note?
Direct.
Both Marx and Engels, the founding fathers of this bandit gang, so to speak, and the tireless provocateurs who called for “the proletariat to fight to the death”, themselves sitting in the safety of London and receiving (Engels) a decent income from two factories, one in Germany, the other in England, through the ruthless exploitation of this very proletariat, the very one that “nothing to lose but chains.” Life, family, income, children – all this does not count (according to Marx and Engels) the LOSS!
Marx was Engels’ hangout, and for more than half of his miserable life as a slacker and a crook, he lived on handouts from a mafia friend.
If you read their work, one strange feature immediately catches your eye: They treated their philosophical opponents with obvious respect and even sympathy.
Hegel is an objective idealist!
Kant is a subjective idealist!
Schopenhauer is already a solipsist, but also a worthy comrade!
And for whom did these two weasels find the most vile and dirty swear epithets?
For COMRADES in ideology, also materialists, Vogt, Moleschot and Büchner, calling them “Vulgar materialists.” And that’s the most harmless thing! These “vulgar” people “did not understand, simplified, coarsened, immensely vulgarized, made a caricature of real materialism…”
This was how not only the two mentioned “Godfathers” spoke about them, but also the young mafiosi Lenin and Stalin who joined them!
Marx took the time to write a whole book spitting on Vogt in 1860, Herr Gogt, Mister Vogt
(It’s funny that Lenin’s corpse was dissected by Vogt, a pathologist specially invited from Germany! Maybe the son of the biologist, zoologist, and materialist philosopher Vogt)
Engels, for example, almost obsequiously quotes a completely idiotic phrase from Hegel in his Dialectics of Nature. And expresses full AGREEMENT with it!
I have already quoted it once (in “Bearded Friedrich”), I will quote it a second time:
“The geocentric point of view in astronomy is limited and is justly rejected. But as we go further into the study, it comes into its own more and more. The sun, etc., serve the Earth. (Quote from Hegel: “The sun serves the planet, as, in general, the sun, moon, comets, stars are only conditions of the earth”, “Philosophy of Nature” Hegel, Op. Volume 2, page 138)
(The whole huge sun exists only for the sake of small planets.) For us, only geocentric physics, chemistry, biology, meteorology, etc. are possible, and these sciences lose nothing by claiming that they are valid only for the earth and therefore only relative. If we seriously demand a centerless science, then we will stop the movement of all science. It is enough for us to know that under the same circumstances, the same thing happens everywhere…”
Engels, a materialist, does not utter a word of criticism when quoting Hegel. (In fact, this passage contains a mixture of quotations from Hegel and the thoughts of Engels himself) Well, if the whole universe according to Hegel and Engels exists only for them, then to the obvious stupidity of these “wise men” should also be added a psychiatric diagnosis: Paranoid megalomania!
But let’s move on to the glorious times of the “Khrushchev thaw” and the “Brezhnev progressive stagnation.”
Let’s open encyclopedic dictionaries and look for famous names there, well, for example, Adolf Hitler …
Yes. there was such a person, even if it was a blunder, but he had the right to exist!
And there were other very odious uncles and aunts too! They existed!
And who doesn’t have that right?
THERE have BEEN NO SUCH people in the multi-thousand-year history of mankind, and that’s it:
There was no Trotsky, although there was “Trotskyism”!
There was no Bukharin, no Zinoviev, Kamenev (whom Lenin, along with Trotsky, referred to in his “Letter to the Congress” as nothing more or less than “party leaders”!) Radek and all the others from the rival mafia group ELIMINATED by Comrade I.V. Stalin!
So, is the thesis at the beginning of this article about the mafia’s worst enemy confirmed? The methods used in the middle of the nineteenth century and in the USSR of the POST-Stalin period are the SAME.
Confirmed!
Which was exactly what had to be proved!
