"Anti-Semitism: Reply to an Inquiry of the Jewish News Agency in the United States"

Joseph Stalin

In answer to your inquiry:

National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.

Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.

In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

J. Stalin January 12, 1931

Ironic, in view of what happened in the last years of Stalin's rule.

LOL! Stalin was subject to his own death penalty.

In his book "Stalin Against the Jews," Arkady Vaksberg makes a plausible case that, despite the fog of his rhetoric against "anti-Semitism," Stalin's '30's purges were deliberately targeted at top Jewish members of the Party---such as Yagoda, Kamenev, Zinoviev, and of course his arch-enemy, Trotsky. (Then again, it might have simply been a reflection of the predominance Jews achieved in the early Soviet regime---for that see Yuri Slezkine's "Jewish Century")

Putative re-location of Jews to the "Jewish Autononomous Oblast" of Birobidzhan (Pete Seeger had a "folk-song" celebrating it: "Now if you look for paradise/You'll see it there before your eyes/Stop your search and go no further on/There we have a collective farm/All run by husky Jewish arms..."), located in the remote Russian Far East, was according to Vaksberg to serve as a pretext for Stalin's own "Final Solution," which the "Doctor's Plot" just before Stalin's death was to inaugurate.

Solzhenitsyn and others put Stalins later years in proper context. Killing or exiling Jews was not due to his anti-semitism but rather to his paranoia of the Trotsky wing of Communism which happened to be mostly Jews.

When power was at stake, Stalin had no qualms about killing his own.

Over the years Jews have vehmently claimed that Lenin and Stalin were not Jews.
