Hitler and Stalin: Two Europeans

Tribune Libre -Galtung Johan-23 Mars 2015

Hitler was about race, Stalin about class. Their theories were based on one

contradiction: Aryans s non-Aryans !or one" wor#ers s capitalists$landowners !or the

other. The ills o! their countries !ollowed !ro% the contradictions at the top o! their

 erbal pyra%ids. As &estern intellectuals they tried to e'plain %uch !ro% one a'io%.

Thus, to Hitler bolshei#s and plutocrats were both %ainly Jewish.

Their utopias were contradiction-!ree, by cleansing" ethnic !or Hitler, class !or Stalin.

(nly Aryans" all others #illed-e'pelled-%arginali)ed by the power o! the *S+A,*ational-Socialist Ger%an Labor arty !or one" all capitalists$landowners #illed-

e'pelled-%arginali)ed by the power o! the anguard o! the proletariat S/01, the

o%%unist arty o! the Soiet nion /0olshei#1 !or the other.

So si%ilar that one %ay as#: did they i%itate each other2 Li#e ar%ies beco%ing si%ilar

 by !ighting, so also the %achines !or reshaping societies in the European ciil war 3435-

3467 /plus %inus so%e years21.

There is another, better e'planation: i! the theory is pyra%idal, so also the practice, the

policy %achinery. The ulti%ate power should be in the hands o! those licensed as

ulti%ate truth-holders. Those lower down hae to learn the s%aller, speci!ic truths and

enact the%.

That pattern identity, iso%orphis%, between theory and practice pyra%ids ca%e !ro%

the sa%e source in Ger%any and 8ussia: hurches, o! two opposed hristianities:truth by reelations, articles o! !aith, co%%and%ents on top" enacted by pyra%ids

 with popes-patriarchs on top.

Stalin was een trained as (rthodo' priest, changing !ro% hrist reealing the truth

about God the 9ather, to ar' reealing the truth about History. And Hitler2 artin

Luther;s rabid anti-Se%itis% and a'io%atic hristianity /catechis%1 played a %a<or

role. &hy Ger%ans2 =ery gi!ted in a'io%atics>dictatorship easily !ollows by

Stalin used Jews i! they sered hi%. 9or both, the strong nation and class had the right

He neer e'plained how in!erior races could create English capitalis% and Soiet

%uch #illing, %illions, !or both.
