The Labour Party didn’t originally spring from Marxism. Its creation and rise may have been concurrent with Marxism but it was not of it. The impetus for the creation and building of the Labour Party came from Christian non-conformist social reform traditions. The Labour Party was from the beginning much more in tune with the values of Methodism and Methodist social reform than it was with Marxism.

The Labour Party was once the home for the majority of the working classes and in particular a home for those at the very bottom of the social pile. One of these groups were the Jewish immigrants that came to Britain in the late 19^th and early 20^th century from Eastern Europe in order to escape Tsarist Pogroms. The Labour Movement and latterly the Labour Party became a political home for these Jews, many of whom were heavily exploited in the clothing industry sweatshops of London’s East End and in similar sweated industries in places like Manchester.

The poorer classes of Jews, who in some cases were worked almost to death by their bosses, would not have joined the Labour Party and engaged with the Labour Movement if it was stuffed full of Jew haters. Such a move would not have been in their interests. Sure there were individual Jew haters present in the Labour Movement but they were individuals or small groups confined to specific geographical areas and not representative of the Labour Party as a whole. British Jews thrived in the Labour Party just as they did in the old Liberal party prior to the merger with the Social Democrats and in the Conservative Party. The fact that there were many Labour MP’s of Jewish heritage stretching right back to the 1920’s shows that there was no historical disability placed on Jews in the Labour Party.

In the past you would have found it difficult to find outright Jew haters in the Labour Party and although they probably did exist, they were not high profile or garrulous about their Jew hatred as they are today. Sadly this is something that cannot be said about the current Labour Party. The Labour Party, despite the purges of Jew haters carried out by the current Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, is still the ‘go to’ place to find Jew haters in British politics.

So how did the party that represented the workers, including the Jewish workers, end up being the party that is so poisoned by Jew hatred? Partly this phenomenon is down to Labour being abandoned by the working classes and the Labour Party then needing to rely on the votes of Islamic communities. Many of these Islamic communities contain within them a lot of individuals who hate Jews for religious reasons and who agitate for causes such as ‘Palestine’ not for the laudable aim of having the Jews and Muslims of the Levant live alongside one another in peace,but because of Islamic religious hostility to Jews and by extension to Israel.

However this is not the sole reason why Labour is now the party of choice for the Jew hater. Another big reason is the advance of Marxism in the Labour Party. Now there’s always been a few in the Labour Party who are or were enamoured of Marxism but they’ve never, up until recently, had control of the party. Previous Labour leaders kept the Marxists under control and in the case of Neil, now Lord, Kinnock, expelled the Marxist extremists, something they had to do in order to make the party more acceptable to Britons.

That all changed with the election of Jeremy Corbyn to the position of Labour leader. Under Corbyn all the Marxist dross that Labour leaders had either kept out of the party or kept out of positions of influence flocked to Labour. As the tide of Marxism grew in the Labour Party so did the anti-Semitism and that is because at its heart Marxism is a philosophy of Jew hatred because Marx himself was a Jew hater.

An examination of Marx’s writings, such as the one carried out by the You Tube historian TIK and whose video is embedded below, shows that Jew hatred was at the heart of Marx’s thinking. To Marx capital was Judaism and Judaism was capitalism. Karl Marx, whose father was an apostate from Judaism and who passed his hatred of Judaism onto his son, never stinted in his vehement rhetoric about Jews. Marx believed that if the Jews could be destroyed then capitalism would also be destroyed.

Marxism is an abhorrent creed just like National Socialism and Jihadism and one that has failed everywhere it has been tried or put into practise. The only difference that I can see between Marxism and other authoritarian political cults is that Marxism has the bigger short term death toll. Marxism or ideologies inspired or influenced by Marxism have killed nearly 100 million people via purges, mass executions and famines caused by the implementation of Marxist economic theories. Nazism, abhorrent as it is, has a death toll of non battle related deaths of approximately 20 million with the bulk of these occurring during WWII in the USSR and Poland. Although Jihadism has been claimed to have had a total death toll of 270 million, this death toll was incurred over a much longer period of time when compared to Marxism and Nazism, 1400 years for Jihadism as opposed to 170 years and 12 years respectively for Marxism and Nazism. Whilst Nazism excelled, if that is the appropriate word, with industrialised murder, Marxism is characterised by mass murder by bullet, bayonet and starvation.

Going back to the subject of the UK Labour Party I wonder whether we should not be surprised to find that as brakes have been taken off with regards preventing Marxists from gaining too much influence in the party, that Marxist inspired Jew hatred has also risen in Labour. The big problem for Labour at present is that the party is dependent on the votes of Muslims too many of whom hold views about Jews that would make the uni-testicled Austrian corporal blush and also that too much of the party structure and management is dominated by Marxists of one form or another.

In order to reform and become the party of British workers that it needs to become again, Labour would need to ditch two important and to a certain extent incompatible constituencies, the Islamic bloc vote and the Marxists. The Islamic bloc vote is culturally and morally opposed to much of the ‘wokeism’ that is being promoted by the Marxists and normal people are put off voting for Labour b because both the Islamic bloc vote and the woke Marxists are too readily identified with Labour.

I really cannot see Labour doing what is necessary to reform. They cannot drop the Muslims who are a ready supply of votes and engage in various forms of Islamopandering in order to keep this bloc on board. They also cannot drop the woke Marxist contingent because these are the party members who are most likely to get the vote out at election time, this is because without local party door knockers and canvassers any election campaign will be severely hampered, something that is being discovered by many of Britain’s minor parties. Such parties cannot break through the high barrier posed by the First Past the Post voting system without lots of people willing to carry out the drudge work of the electoral ground game. With Labour dominated by two groups, Islam and Marxists, both of which are dominated by or accepting of various forms of Jew hatred, I can’t see the party being able to return to being the party of choice for the working classes whether that be the working class Gentile or the working class Jew.

Marxism is not compatible with freedom and justice and it was a desire for freedom and justice that caused many Jews and non-Jews a century and a bit ago to join the Labour Party and the Labour Movement. Labour needs to recognise that Marxism is the creed of failure and oppression that it has shown itself to be and rid itself of the Marxists or it will become a footnote to history admonished by historians for its capitulation to Marxist Jew hatred. If Britain needs a party to represent the working classes and be an opponent of a Conservative Party that is now in such an electorally unassailable position that it has become an elected dictatorship, then either Labour needs to change or a new party needs to rise and take its place. I’m pessimistic about whether either of these could be achieved in the short to medium term.

Here’s the excellent video by TIK about the significant amount of Jew hatred contained in the writings of Karl Marx.
