P 585 11.16  STANDING OF THE FACTORY WORKER

(j) A tremendous economic development transforms the social structure of a nation. The small artisan class slowly disappears and the factory worker, who took its place, has scarcely any chance of establishing an independent existence of his own; he sinks more and more to the level of a proletariat. […]

In earlier times, a similar situation was created that demanded a solution, and one was found. Together with the peasant and the artisan, a new class was gradually formed, along with officials and salaried workers—especially from the state. All of them were propertyless, in the truest sense of the word. But the state found a remedy for this unhealthy situation by providing an old-age pension for its officials. Private enterprises slowly followed this example in increasing numbers, so that today every regular non-manual worker receives a pension in his later years, […] Thus an entire propertyless class was saved from destitution, and found a place in the social structure of the national community.

The question is once again put before the state and nation, but this time in a much larger form. More and more, millions of people left the countryside and the villages to take up employment in the big city factories. The working and living conditions of this new class were worse than miserable. […] In the older system a working day of 14 or even 15 hours was bearable, now it was beyond the limits of human endurance because every minute was utilized to the extreme. […]

The division between employer and employees seems now to have extended to all branches of life. How far this Judaizing process of our people has been allowed to extend is illustrated by the low standing, if not contempt, of the manual worker. This isn't German. It's due to the introduction of a foreign element into our lives—in truth, a Judaizing process. One effect has been to transform the old respect for manual work into a definite feeling of contempt for all physical labor.

Thus a new social class has grown up, one that stands in low esteem. The day must come when we will have to face the question of whether the nation will be able to make this class an integral part of the social community, or whether the difference of status will become a permanent gulf separating this class from the others.

One thing is certain, however: This class doesn't include the worst elements in its ranks, but rather the most energetic. [Donald Trump saying the same thing at his rallies!] […] The broad masses of this new, lower class haven't yet been infected with the poison of pacifist weakness. They are still robust and can be, if necessary, even brutal.

While our bourgeoisie pay no attention at all to this question, and indifferently allow events to take their course, the Jew seizes upon many possibilities for the future. […] in a short while [he] becomes the leader of their struggle against himself. 'Against himself' is here only figuratively speaking, for this Great Master of Lies knows how to appear in the guise of the innocent, and throw the guilt on others. Since he has the impudence to lead the masses, they never for a moment suspect that they are falling prey to one of the most infamous betrayals of all time.

P 589 11.17 JEWISH TACTICS

First [the Jew] uses the bourgeoisie as a battering-ram against the feudal order; and then the worker against the bourgeois world. Just as he succeeded in obtaining civil rights in the protection of the bourgeois class, he now hopes to use the workers' struggle for existence as his path to obtain full control over them.

From that point on, the workers' only task is to fight for the future of the Jewish people. … The worker thinks he's fighting against capital, and thus is all the more easily brought to fight for capitalist interests. Outcries are raised against international capital, but in reality such actions are directed against the structure of national economics, in the hope that the international stock exchange can triumph over its dead body.

[…] He artfully encourages the desire for social justice, which is a typical Aryan characteristic, and this is then transformed into a hatred of the more fortunate ones. Next he turns the struggle for the elimination of social ills into a precise worldview. And thus he establishes the Marxist doctrine. [Notice that Adolf Hitler already pointed out the connection between social justice and Aryans, long before someone like Kevin MacDonald connected altruism with Aryans; yet MacDonald sneers at Hitler and considers him a unmentionable. MacD should show a little more humility.]

P 591 11.18 CORE OF THE MARXIST WORLDVIEW

[…]

By categorically repudiating the value of the individual and also the nation and its racial content, this doctrine destroys the fundamental basis of all culture; for culture depends on these very factors. Such is the true core of the Marxist worldview—insofar as the term 'worldview' can be applied at all to this phantom product of a criminal brain. The shattering of the concept of personality and of race removes the chief obstacle that barred the way to domination by society's inferior element—and this is the Jew.

Thus arises a movement that's composed exclusively of manual workers under Jewish leadership. [We've seen plenty of that in labor unions thoughout the 20th century.]

The Freemasons carried out a program of pacifistic paralysis of the instinct for national self-preservation among our so-called intelligentsia, which was then extended to the broad masses of the workers and bourgeoisie by means of the always-Jewish press.

To these two instruments of disintegration, a third and still more ruthless one was added, namely, organized brute force. As a shock-and-storm-troop, Marxism seeks to finish off those parts of the social order left standing, after the two former weapons do their work. [We are certainly seeing a lot of brute force currently manifesting in leftist  'protests', more so than in a long time.]

[…] Among our high and highest state officials (with very few exceptions), the Jew has always found the most complacent backers of his destruction work. An attitude of cringing submissiveness towards 'superiors,' and a condescending arrogance towards 'inferiors,' are the characteristics of this class […]. These qualities are of the greatest use to the Jew.

P 593 11.19 ORGANIZATION OF MARXIST WORLD-DOCTRINE

Consistent with the ultimate goals of the Jewish struggle—goals that are not exhausted by economic domination of the world—the Jew divides the organization of his Marxist world-doctrine into two parts … : the political movement and the trade union movement. […]

The so-called national bourgeoisie, blinded by its own financial interests, opposes this life-or-death struggle of the workers, and places the heaviest obstacles in their way. […] All the while, the clever Jew takes the cause of the oppressed into his own hands. […]

As leader of the union movement, he has no scruples about putting forth demands that not only exceed the declared purpose of the movement, but couldn't be carried out without ruining the national economy. […]

By means of the union—which ought to be a blessing for the nation—the Jew shatters the foundation of the national economy. […]

Above all, it's this very press [media] that carries on a fanatical campaign of slander, striving to tear down everything that might be considered as a support for national independence, and sabotaging all cultural values and the autonomy of the national economy along the way. … it attacks all men of character who refuse to yield to Jewish efforts to dominate, or who appear dangerous to the Jews merely because of their superior ability. […]

The ignorance of the broad masses about the inner character of the Jew, and the lack of instinct and narrow-mindedness of our upper classes, make our people an easy victim of this Jewish campaign of lies. […]

Slowly, fear of the Marxist weapon of Jewry descends like a nightmare on the mind and soul of innocent people. They begin to quiver before this fearful enemy, and thereby become his victims.

P 599 11.20 PALESTINE AS ORGANIZATIONAL CENTER 

(k) Jewish domination in the state seems now so fully assured that not only can he afford to call himself a Jew again, but he even openly acknowledges his ideas on national and political questions. [...] When the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the new national consciousness of the Jews will be satisfied by the establishment of a state in Palestine, the Jews thereby cleverly dupe the simple-minded goyim. They haven't the slightest intention of building up a Jewish state in Palestine so as to live there. What they really want is a central organization for their international world-swindle, one with sovereign rights and freedom from outside control—in other words, a refuge for convicted low-lifes and a training ground for budding criminals.

[…]

The black-haired Jewish youth […] In his systematic efforts to ruin girls and women, he strives to break down the last racial barriers for other peoples, even on a large scale. The Jews were and are responsible for bringing Negroes into the Rhineland, with the ultimate idea of bastardizing the hated white race, and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that he himself might dominate.

A racially-pure people who are conscious of their blood can never be overcome by the Jew. In this world, he will only be master over a bastardized people.

P 603 11.22 FROM NATIONAL JEWS TO RACIAL JEWS

(l) Now begins the last great revolution. Out of the democratic national Jew arises the blood-Jew, the tyrant of the peoples. In the course of a few years, he tries to root out all those who represent the national intelligence. [A good example of this is the Jew's fanatical efforts to get rid of Donald Trump, who represents an intelligent leader for America. Compare Trump to Obama, who was just what they liked. Bush too. This shows Trump is not owned by the Jews.]

Russia offers the most terrible example of such slavery, where he killed or starved 30 million people in a bout of savage fanaticism, and partly by means of inhuman torture. [...]

P 603 11.23 BASTARDIZED PEOPLE

If we review all the causes of the German collapse, we find that the most profound and decisive cause remains the failure to recognize the racial problem and especially the Jewish danger. [Should go without saying that this applies not only to Germans of that time.]

[…]

By neglecting the problem of preserving the racial foundations of our nation, the old Reich disregarded the sole right that allowed it to survive in this world. […]

Everything on this Earth can be improved, every defeat can be the foundation of a future victory. Every lost war can be the cause of a later resurgence. […] But the loss of racial purity will wreck inner happiness forever. It degrades men for all time. And the consequences can never be removed.

If this single problem is studied and compared with the other problems of life, we will easily see how insignificant they are. They are all limited in time; but the problem of the maintenance or loss of the purity of the blood lasts as long as man himself. All symptoms of decline in the pre-war period can be traced back to racial causes.

P 605 11.24 FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE THE INNER ENEMY

Whether one is dealing with questions of general law or excesses of economic life, of symptoms of cultural decline or political degeneration, of defective schooling or the evil influence of the press over the adult population—always and everywhere, it's a fundamental disregard for the racial needs of the nation. That is, the failure to recognize the danger posed by a foreign race.

[…]

It would be a mistake to think that the followers of the various political parties that tried to fix the condition of the German people, or even all their leaders, were bad or malevolent in themselves. Their activity was doomed to failure simply because … they saw nothing but the symptoms … while overlooking the real cause of the disease.

[...]

At the Reichstag elections, the growing number of Marxist votes indicated that the internal breakdown and political collapse were then rapidly approaching. […] During all those years, only one protagonist fought with steadfast perseverance, and that was the Jew. The Star of David steadily ascended as the will to national self-preservation declined.

Therefore, in August 1914, it wasn't a unified people resolved to attack that rushed to the battlefields. Rather, it was the last flicker of an instinct for national self-preservation against the creeping pacificist-Marxist paralysis of the national body. […]

A profound recognition of all this was the source of those principles and tendencies that inspire our new movement. We were convinced that only by recognizing such truths could we halt the German national decline and lay a granite foundation on which the state could again be built—one that would not be an alien mechanism for economic purposes and interests, but a national organism: A German State for the German Nation.
