Our Friend, Lenin

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion

Vladimir Lenin explica que el verdadero enemigo es el capital, la vieja aristocracia, los dueños de las tierras y no los judíos, que son tan pobres como los trabajadores y agricultores rusos. En vocabulario: downtrodden, sow y slander y para saber: kulaks

“La monarquía zarista incitó a los trabajadores contra los judíos…”

“En alianza con los capitalistas organizaron pogroms…”

“Solo los más ignorantes pueden creer las difamaciones contra los judíos…”

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), better known by his alias Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia and then the wider Soviet Union became a one-party communist state governed by the Russian Communist Party. Ideologically a communist, he developed a variant of Marxism known as Leninism.

Lenin's speech on anti-Semitism

Gramophone records, March 1919

Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews. The tsarist police, in alliance with landowners and the capitalists, organized pogroms against the Jews.

The hate of the workers and peasants the landowners and the capitalists tried to divert against the Jews.

In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews. In order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people: capitalist.

Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants.

Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews.

This is a survival of ancient feudal times when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery and when the people were crushed and inarticulate.

This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened. It´s not the Jews who are the enemies of the working people. The enemies of the workers are the capitalists of all countries.

Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers who, like us, are oppressed by capital.

They are our comrades in the struggle for socialism.

Among the Jews there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations.

The requisition of grain from Kulaks

The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races.

Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital.

Rich Jews, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob, and disunite the workers.

Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews.

Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.

Long live the fraternal trust and fighting alliance of the workers of all nations in the struggle to overthrow capital

Para saber

Kulak was the term describing peasants with over 8 acres (3.2 hectares) of land towards the end of the Russian Empire. In the early Soviet Union, particularly Soviet Russia and Azerbaijan, kulak became a vague reference to property ownership among peasants, who were considered "hesitating" allies of the revolution. The kulaks were decimated following orders by Joseph Stalin, to guarantee collectivization in the 1930s.
