THE JEWISH NATIONALITIES PROBLEM
These days no one wants to say a good word for Communism. Considering the utter failure of Communist economics and the murderous gulag system, that is undoubtedly a good thing. However, in one respect, Communism was superior to democracy. The Communists, from the moment that they took over from the former Czarist Empire, recognized the existence of various nationalities within the new Soviet system. Thus, there was the Ukrainian nation, the various Moslem and Turkish nations and, most important of all, the Jewish nation. Democracy, by contrast, pretends that there are no nations, just citizens with different skin colors. Thus, under democratic political superstitions, there are just Mexicans, not the rising nation of Atzlan. Joseph Stalin, the Soviet nationalities commissar before his rise to total power, would have sneered at such nonsense.
One particular aspect of Soviet nationalities policy was infinitely superior to democratic superstition. Soviet Russia, the land of unlimited opportunity for Jewish commissars, officially recognized the need for a territorial solution to the Jewish nationality problem. In part this approach stemmed from competition with the Zionist demand for a Jewish state in Palestine, in part it stemmed from the Communist desire to "normalize" the Jews by placing them on their own soil within the a socialist federation where Jews dominated the various commissariats. But at least the Communists recognized that the Jews were a nationality. This political realism forms a refreshing contrast to infantile Americans who persist in believing that Jews who manipulate their foreign policy in favor of Israel are really Americans. The pretense that what is good for Israel is good for America is not merely infantile nonsense; it is, more fundamentally, an effort to deny the Jewish "nationality problem" which the Soviet commissars so forthrightly faced.
The Soviet solution to Jewish nationality problems was, of course, the famous Birobidzhan project of the late 1920's and 1930's. Birobidzhan was to become the Jewish socialist paradise in the far east of Siberia, adjacent to Japanese occupied Manchukuo. A vast propaganda campaign inspired Depression decade American and Canadian Jews to emigrate to Birobidzhan. This campaign persuaded thousands of Jews to emigrate to Soviet Russia. Some of the leaders of the return to Russia were Sam Carr and Sam Gershon in Canada and Melech Epstein in the United States. Birobidzhan was the Jewish Palestine in Communist Russia before the state of Israel was created. Today, the state of Birobidzhan still exists although less than 50% of its population is Jewish. The lure of Birobidzhan on pre-World War Two Jewry has all but been forgotten. Most Jews prefer that it remain forgotten so as not to re-open for examination the once powerful hold of Communism on the Jewish mind. The fact that Jewish nationalism once operated openly within the context of an overwhelmingly Jewish Communist system is also food for thought. Current Zionist propaganda pretends that Jewish nationalism was once persecuted by Soviet Communism. But 'twas not always so.
The Jewish nationalities problem of Soviet Russia holds important implications for Americans, as noted. Jews in America are acting as a nationality while posing as American citizens. Their political ideology is largely Marxist and devoted to loyalty to Israel, not loyalty to the United States. Democratic ideology prevents Americans from either understanding or acknowledging these facts. It is rather ironic that the Soviet nationalities approach to Jewry rather resembled that of the late Adolf Hitler, who also considered Jewry a nation, albeit an internationally dispersed one. Hitler opposed the Jewish nation while the Bolsheviks, themselves largely Jewish, supported the Jewish nation within the context of international socialism. This study of the Jewish nationalities problem is not a demand for political totalitarianism; it is a demand for political realism. Jewry is a nation despite the innumerable divisions within it and it can only be dealt with on that basis. That dictum refers not to the artificial state of Israel but to the Jewish nation at large, of which Israel is only the symbol and an insignificant part.
