Important Transcript :

These attitudes of Marx and Engels would have a profound influence on the American Socialist Party during the one period when it was a mass movement of labor— the period from its foundation in 1901 to U.S. entry into World War I in 1917. Between 1901 and 1912, the Party grew from 10,000 to 150,000 dues-paying members. At the peak of its power, it polled 900,000 votes and elected over 2,000 public officials.1’

The mainstream of the Socialist Party shared Marx’s and Engels’ private views on the Negro. On September 14, 1901, the Social Democratic Herald characterized Negroes as inferior, depraved elements who went around “raping women [and] children.”20 In an article in the same organ, dated May 31, 1902, Victor L. Berger, one of the national leaders of the Socialist Party, wrote that “there can be no doubt that the negroes and mulattoes constitute a lower race” and that “free contact with the whites has led to further degeneration of the negroes.

In 1903, the American Socialist Party was criticized by the Second International for its indifference to the widespread lynching of Negroes by white mobs. ”21

The Socialist National Quorum replied that only the abolition of capitalism and the victory of socialism could prevent the procreation and production of “lynchable human degenerates.” This extraordinary response seems to have satisfied the international socialist organization.22

As Kipnis summarizes the mainstream views of the Socialist Party before World War I, black and white workers would be entitled to receive wages based on their productivity under socialism. But that did not mean that the two races would have to live or work in the same places. “Socialism would solve the race question in the only possible manner— complete segregation.”23

The legacy of Marx and Engels, as far as the Negro is concerned, is painfully visible in the Soviet Union. Proclaiming total racial equality, the USSR invites tens of thousands of Negroes from Africa and the Americas to train as professional revolutionaries. The accounts of those who return provide abundant evidence that, beneath the veneer of equality and acceptance, there is animosity, prejudice, and virtual social ostracism

Notes

1. Karl Peter Heinzen, who worked with Marx in the 1840s, described him thus: “He had wildly dishevelled, coal-black hair, and his complexion was dirty yellow. Whether the dirty complexion was as nature made it, or whether the dirt came from outside, can no more be decided than whether his shirt and his clothes were originally made in a dirty color or merely acquired dirt.” Karl Peter Heinzen, Erlebtes (Boston: published by the author, 1864-74, 2 vols.), II, 423; as translated by Payne, Marx, pp. 154-55.

Conclusion :

Communism is an ideology which support radical democratic rule, scientific racism, total opposition to morality, and extreme progressivism which led to mass industrialization and even extreme colonialism. Which all of them contrary to National Socialism ideology which total opposition to democracy, mass industrialism, colonialism, racism, and extreme progressivism. And it's worldview is more frightening rather than the liberal capitalism ideology. Maybe that is why Hitler more concentrate his armies to attack the Communist Russia.
