De Marx a Stalin, passando por Lenin e Trotsky

Marx costumava - com seu companheiro de pena, Engels - defender o genocídio e se referir a judeus poloneses e negros nos termos menos respeitosos (mais suja das raças, crioulos). Mas a boa índole do sapo barbudo não estava limitada a estes comportamentos respeitosos. Ele (e, novamente, o comparsa Engels) também era um ardoroso defensor do terror político. Já dizia o fundador da ideologia comunista, muito cara ao partido que nos governa:

"Não temos compaixão e não lhe pedimos compaixão alguma. Quando chegar a nossa vez, não inventaremos pretextos para o terror".

Karl Marx,  na edição de19 de maio de 1849 do jornal Neue Rheinische Zeitung.

Engels completa, e sobra para os eslavos:

"To the sentimental phrases about brotherhood which we are being offered here on behalf of the most counter-revolutionary nations of Europe, we reply that hatred of Russians was and still is the primary revolutionary passion among Germans; that since the revolution hatred of Czechs and Croats has been added, and that only by the most determined use of terror against these Slav peoples can we, jointly with the Poles and Magyars, safeguard the revolution.".

Friedrich Engels, uma vez mais no Neue Rheinische Zeitung, edição de 15 de fevereiro de 1849.

OK, dirão os esquerdistas, mas deixe o camarada Lenin fora disso. O que Lenin diria a respeito?

"We need to set an example. You need to hang – hang without fail, and do it so that the public sees – at least 100 notorious kulaks, the rich, and the bloodsuckers. Publish their names. Take away all of their grain. Execute the hostages – in accordance with yesterday’s telegram. This needs to be accomplished in such a way that people for hundreds of miles around will see and tremble".

Vladimir Lenin em carta aos Narkom - comissários do povo - de Penza (distrito a 300 milhas a sudeste de Moscou) datada de 11 de agosto de 1918.

E ainda:

"We would be deceiving both ourselves and the people if we concealed from the masses the necessity of a desperate, bloody war of extermination.".

Vladimir Lenin em “Lessons of the Moscow Uprising”, Obras Completas de Lenin, Vol. 11, p. 174.

Mas, o que diria o camarada Trotsky a respeito? O que falta é o sujeito defender o terror político E a aplicação de trabalhos forçados à classe operária! Então...

"The man who repudiates terrorism in principle – i.e., repudiates measures of suppression and intimidation towards determined and armed counter-revolution, must reject all idea of the political supremacy of the working class and its revolutionary dictatorship. The man who repudiates the dictatorship of the proletariat repudiates the Socialist revolution, and digs the grave of Socialism."

E...

"Yet labor-power is required – required more than at any time before. Not only the worker, but the peasant also, must give to the Soviet State his energy, in order to ensure that laboring Russia, and with it the laboring masses, should not be crushed. The only way to attract the labor power necessary for our economic problems is to introduce compulsory labor service. "

Leon Trotsky, Terrorismo e Comunismo, 1920 página 95.

Não é sem razão que, após o colapso da União Soviética, pixaram pelos muros de Moscou a frase "trabalhadores do mundo: me perdoem!".

Karl Marx era racista, Friedrich Engels também

A esquerda faz questão ocultar o lado sombrio de suas maiores vacas sagradas. Ninguém aprende, nas escolas do Brasil soviético, que Marx e Engels eram racistas defensores da limpeza étnica. Não é sem motivo. Qualquer militante que se depare com os textos racistas dos  fundadores da maior e mais poderosa (ao menos do ponto de vista militar) das correntes da esquerda sempre tem ao menos uma surpresa desagradável - admitindo-se que não é um entusiasta do genocídio, como, aliás, há muitos por aí, como foi o falecido Hobsbawm. Deixo Marx falar por si mesmo:

"Now I share neither in the opinions of Ricardo, who regards ‘Net-Revenue’ as the Moloch to whom entire populations must be sacrificed, without even so much as complaint, nor in the opinion of Sismondi, who, in his hypochondriacal philanthropy, would forcibly retain the superannuated methods of agriculture and proscribe science from industry, as Plato expelled poets from his Republic. Society is undergoing a silent revolution, which must be submitted to, and which takes no more notice of the human existences it breaks down than an earthquake regards the houses it subverts. The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way".

Karl Marx, no New York Daily Tribune, edição de 22 de março de 1853.

No quesito "racismo", Engels não é menos enfático que seu camarada:

"There is no country in Europe which does not have in some corner or other one or several ruined fragments of peoples, the remnant of a former population that was suppressed and held in bondage by the nation which later became the main vehicle of historical development. These relics of a nation mercilessly trampled under foot in the course of history, as Hegel says, this ethnic trash [Völkerabfälle] always become fanatical standard-bearers of counter-revolution and remain so until their complete extirpation or loss of their national character, just as their whole existence in general is itself a protest against a great historical revolution".

Friedrich Engels, no jornal marxista Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Número 194, 13 de janeiro de 1849.

Até sobra para os judeus:

"We discovered that in connection with these figures the German national simpletons and money-grubbers of the Frankfurt parliamentary swamp always counted as Germans the Polish Jews as well, although this dirtiest of all races [schmutzigste aller Rassen], neither by its jargon nor by its descent, but at most only through its lust for profit, could have any relation of kinship with Frankfurt".

Friedrich Engels, Neue Rheinische Zeitung, número 285, 29 de abril de 1849.

E Marx se refere carinhosamente aos afro-descendentes com o termo "crioulos" (niggers):

"It is now completely clear to me that he, as is proved by his cranial formation and his hair, descends from the Negroes from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother had not interbred with a nigger. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product. The obtrusiveness of the fellow is also nigger-like."

Carta de Karl Marx para Friedrich Engels, de julho de 1862.

A acusação descansa.
