KumarHOST
35:51

TimHOST
35:58
Mm.

They're like, "No, this is our side.
Mike MacnairGUEST

I said the Bolsheviks did act undemocratically in relation to Brest-Litovsk, and then the consequence of that was that in order to get its stuff through the Soviets, they had to rig the Soviet elections.
Mike MacnairGUEST
29:19
And the left SRs went in for an individual terrorist response, and we got Red Terror in autumn 1918.
Mike MacnairGUEST
29:30
Then the consequence of that is that the Bolsheviks lose the ability to win over the majority of the German workers' movement because the German workers' movement has a deep, deep, deep, deep historical commitments to political democracy.
Mike MacnairGUEST
29:46
The right wing are able to point to the Red Terror in au- autumn 1918 as evidence and the rigging of, uh, Soviet elections and so on and so forth.
Mike MacnairGUEST
29:56
Then in the ni- early 1920s, the, uh, they're trying to think of what the hell can we do to overcome this problem? And they have the idea that the way in which they're going to overcome this problem is through a program which takes the trade union struggle and links it immediately to war communism, uh, the, so that it's, it, it, we call it, CPGB, we call this an economist project.
Mike MacnairGUEST
30:23
And so the idea of transitional program, it's not original to the Trotskyists.
Chris AlarHOST
44:58
Sheen didn't hold back.
Chris AlarHOST
45:01
He called them the Red Terror.
Chris AlarHOST
45:04
And he published, this was the book that I just got, let's go to our next slide.
Chris AlarHOST
45:09
In 1948, he published Communism and the Conscience of the West, which critics have described as a prerequisite for an intelligent understanding of communist thought and development.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
37:59
I mean, it's one of the strange things that we think of it as the cauldron, and that's why, why I called it the cauldron.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
38:06
But actually, if you look at most of it and you look at it in the twentieth century, for example, you know, it, it never comes close to the bloodletting of the two world wars in Europe, the Holocaust in Europe, the Red Terror of Stalin, the Red Terror of China.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
38:23
It never comes close to anything like that.
Simon Sebag MontefioreGUEST
38:26
And numbers, statistics are a dangerous game to look at because they can suggest a sort of parlor game where you say who's worst and what's worst.

Pete QuiñonesHOST
244:53
If the meaning of the word outlaw may have escaped some at the time, in the months of the Red Terror it would appear clearly.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
245:00
Ten years later, in a sentence of a communist militant, Larine, who was himself for a while the commissar of the people and even the promoter of war communism, to outlaw the active anti-Semites was to shoot them.

There is also a hypothesis that the Bolshevik authorities themselves would have created the necessary conditions for Kenige- Kenigeser to fire his shot.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
373:14
This I strongly doubt, for what provocation would the Bolsheviks have sacrificed their beloved child, president of the Cheka? One thing, however, is troubling.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
373:23
How is it that later, in full Red Terror, when the, when was attained the force, by force of arms through the entire country thousands of innocent, innocent hostages, totally unconnected with the affair, the whole Kenigeser family was freed from prison and allowed to emigrate?
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST

Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST

So they have to go and take over the organization and purge and destroy whoever.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST

Bela Kuhn, we all know who Bela Kuhn is, who created the Red Terror in Hungary and ran a completely Judaic communist party there.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
24:07
Same thing for the little parties that took over in Bavaria and North Germany.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
24:13
Almost exclusively Jewish.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
25:16
Uh, so, you know, it, it was a Jewish movement, and they circulated these people tremendously, and people think that, you know, Bela Kun is Hungarian, right? Well, he couldn't be.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
25:29
He, he's, he's a Jew, but he has no connection to it there.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
25:32
He was just assigned there by Stalin many years later and created the Red Terror, uh, uh, government there.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
25:39
It's incredible how, what kind of work this was for them.

Quote, "In the OGPU as a whole, the proportion of personnel from a n- national minority fell to 30% to 35% and to 40% to 45% for those in leadership.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
103:58
These figures contrast with 50% and 70% respectively during the Red Terror." However, quote, "We observe a decline in the percentage of Latvians and an increase in the percentage of Jews." End quote.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
104:13
The '20s was a period of significant influx of Jewish c- Jewish cadres into the organs of the OGPU.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
104:19
The author explains this, quote, "Jews strive to utilize capabilities not needed in the pre-revolutionary period.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
109:26
That's no accident.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
109:27
But under him, uh, of course, Trotsky was, was just as powerful as Lenin was.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
109:33
Um, uh, it was, it was ma- you know, 50%, 70, Jesus, during the Red Terror.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
109:38

Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST

In other words, outlaw was taken literally.

There is also a hypothesis that the Bolshevik authorities themselves would have created the necessary conditions for Kenegesser to fire his shot.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
372:40
This I strongly doubt, for what provocation would the Bolsheviks have sacrificed their beloved child, president of the Cheka? One thing, however, is troubling.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
372:49
How is it that later, in full red terror, when was attained by force of arms through the entire country thousands of innocent hostages totally unconnected with the affair, the whole Kenegesser family was freed from prison and allowed to emigrate? We do not recognize here the Bolshevik claw.
Pete QuiñonesHOST

Again, there's only so many Jews in the world, so they have to go and take over the organization and purge and destroy whoever.

Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
24:54
Same thing for the little, uh, parties that took over, you know, in, in Bavaria and North Germany, almost exclusively Jewish.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
25:02
Any time, like, you know, when, when Hitl- Hitler was first elected and he put pressure on some of these people, the, you know, the sexual revolutionaries, the first place they went to is the USSR, as if to prove, prove his point.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
26:02
Uh, so, you know, it, it was a Jewish movement, and they circulated these people tremendously, and people think that, you know, Bela Kun is Hungarian, right? Well, he couldn't be.

Sarah BadcockGUEST

And they also killed a very prominent Bolshevik called Urytsky, who was head of the Petrograd Cheka.

In response to that, then the Bolsheviks institute what's known as the Red Terror in September 1918.
Sarah BadcockGUEST
