Shafarevich On The Myth of Scientific Marxism

Proof that Marxism has ALWAYS been about eliminating peoples,

This from Igor Shafareivich’s “Socialist Phenomenon”

“But with almost perverse consistency, most of the projections of Marxism have been proven incorrect. A better percentage of correct predictions could probably have by making random guesses…. we limit ourselves to three (examples) in order to underscore the typical and in most cases fundamental nature of the errors: the truth proved to be not merely different but in fact the opposite to that which had been predicted.

a.) The national question: ‘National differences and antagonistic interests among various peoples are already vanishing more and more and more thanks to the development of the bourgeoisie, to freedom of commerce, to the world market, to uniformity in the mode of production and in the corresponding conditions of life. The supremacy of the proletariat will accelerate the disappearances of differences.’

(BLMc commentary — So, we see the Marxists have always believed that due to their scientific Marxism Nationalities would be eclipsed. Marxist theory anticipates the end of ethnic and racial distinctions. As the worker (proletariat) comes to the fore National differences disappear. It is difficult to comprehend that in the Marxist believing of this, they would not have done all they could to bring this consequence about.)

b.) In particular, the Jewish question, which was to disappear as soon as financial operations and petty trade became impossible. ‘The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of a merchant, in general of a man who deals with money.’ ‘An organized society which could remove the preconditions of petty trade, and therefore the possibility of petty trade, would make Jewry impossible.

(BLMc commentary — Note that the Jew nationality here is directly connected with money. The thesis is … “no money dealing, no Jew.” Can you say “Bankster class?”)

c.) The role of the state: ‘The first act in which the state truly comes forward as a representative of the whole society — the taking possession of the means of production in the name of society — is, at the same time, its last independent act as a state. Interference of the state in social relations becomes superfluous in one sphere after another, and then ceases itself. The government of persons is replaced by the administration of things and the direction of the process of production. That is not ‘abolished;’ it withers away.’

With the disappearance of classes the state inevitably disappears. A society which organizes its production in a new fashion based on the free and equal association of producers will send the machine of the state to the place where it belongs: the museum of antiquity next to the spinning wheel and the bronze ax.

(BLMc commentary — This reveals that Marxism was NEVER a theory of Government, governing or social order. Marxism was only a theory of how Government will come to an end. This explain why Marxists have no clue how to govern. Nothing in their theory offers any insight into governing since governing was to “wither away.”)
