April 1918: The Judeo-Bolesheviks crush the Anarchists

Jose Nino has just published three articles on TOO about the great French anarchists of the 19th century, highlighting the very virulent anti-Semitism common to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Charles Fourier and Alphonse Tousenel, an anti-Semitism they shared with the Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin.

Jose Nino also recalls the falling out between Proudhon and Marx.

It is then interesting to see how this ideological confrontation ended at the time of the Judeo-Bolshevik revolution of 1917. In short, our 19th-century anarchists didn’t realize how right they were about the Jews (according to Proudhon: wicked, bilious, envious, bitter, etc., etc.)

While the anarchists believed that the Russian Revolution would allow them to realize their utopias based on the creation of self-contained cells, established on the principle of the associative contract, they began to realize that the Bolsheviks were working more in favor of a crypto-Judaism than the well-understood interests of the Russian people.

In Moscow as in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg), Russian anarchists requisitioned several buildings to promote their activities.

Lev Tcherny, the well-known Russian anarchist, was appointed secretary of the House of Anarchists, where he gave several lectures which Gerard Shelley, a lucid witness to the Russian Revolution, attended in April 1918.

At the last of these conferences, Lev Cherny declared that Marxism, the matrix of Bolshevism, did not really correspond to the aspirations of the Russian people, and that the Bolsheviks were not sincere socialists or communists, but rather disguised Jews working in favor of the interests of Judaism.

Lev Tcherny divided these Jews into three main categories: first, the financiers, who were involved in the murky waters of the Second International; second, the Zionists, whose colonialist objectives were perfectly known and displayed; and finally, the Jewish Bund, which represented the least avowable interests of the ambitions of Judaism in Russia.

According to the speaker, the Bolsheviks saw the international proletariat as essentially malleable masses who, if the intelligentsia were destroyed everywhere, would find themselves at the mercy of Jewish predators.

The event in question had the following extraordinary consequences: on the very night of the day of this last conference, the Bolsheviks attacked all the anarchist centers with cannons, cavalry and machine guns, both in Moscow and in Petrograd or elsewhere, and massacred all the men who fell into their hands, with the exception of Lev Cherny who, at the time, managed to escape them.

But this was only a respite: captured by the Cheka, Lev Cherny was executed without trial in September 1921.
