It goeswithoutsaying,of course,that Hitlertookthis hatredmuchfartherthanMoore

HaveCapitalistsCo-optedTheirReputedEnemies?
If the Aryanproletariatdoesnot instigatean insurgencyagainstthe Jewishmultimil-
lionaires,MeinKampfargues,it is becauseJewishcapitalistshaveco-optedthe organized
labormovementandturnedit intoa toolof capitalismratherthanproletariansocial
justice.While,on one hand,the plutocraticJewishschemer“organizescapitalisticmeth-
ods of humanexploitationto theirultimateconsequence,he approachesthe veryvictims

“the enslavementof free peoplesin the serviceof supra-stateworldfinanceJewry.” More-
over,the purposeof “Marxistsheets” is “to breakthe people’s nationalandpatriotic
backboneand makethemripefor the slave’s yokeof internationalcapitaland its masters,
the Jews.” The Soviets’ ultimategoal“is onlyto erecta despotismfor internationalworld
Jewishfinance.” Hencethe USSRis composedof “the Marxistshocktroopsof internation-
al Jewishstockexchangecapital.”^156 For thesereasonsthe Führer,in the wordsof Niall
Ferguson,equated“Jewssimultaneouslywithcommunismand capitalism.”^157 As Robert
Gellatelyphrasesit, Hitleradvanced“a curiousargumentin whichcapitalistssupposedly
preparedthe groundfor Communism,withonlythe NSDAPblockingthe way.”^158 Hitler
statedto OttoWagenerthatwheneverAryansassistself-describedJewishMarxistsin
