An analysis of a contemporary perspective that classifies as an "anti-Semitic myth" and "conspiracy theory" the idea that the Jewish nation exerted a determining influence on revolutionary movements such as Communism and Freemasonry, with the goal of world domination. This view holds that the "Judeo-Bolshevism" narrative was a propagandistic creation of anti-communist movements and, later, of German National Socialism. However, an in-depth analysis, based on the theology of history and the nature of social order, reveals that this secularized interpretation fails to grasp the true root of the conflict shaping the modern era. The debate is not centered on race or secret conspiracies, but rather on a fundamental and theological antagonism between two irreconcilable programs for the organization of the world.
✝️ The Fundamental Antagonism: Not a Conspiracy, but a ProgramThe notion that Jewish influence in revolutionary movements is a mere "conspiracy theory" overlooks the central reality of history since Calvary. The conflict is not secret, but rather the logical and inevitable consequence of a choice made two millennia ago. The Jewish nation was faced with a historic bifurcation: to accept the Supernatural Messiah, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and His plan for a supranational and supernatural world order through His Mystical Body, the Catholic Church; or to reject Him in favor of a naturalistic messianism, which seeks the world's redemption through the imposition of its own national form upon all other nations (Fahey, 1953, p. 48, 121-122).
By rejecting the true Messiah, the Jewish nation, as an organized entity, objectively committed itself to the opposing program. This program is not a "conspiracy" in the sense of a hidden plot without logic, but rather an open agenda, proclaimed and pursued with remarkable tenacity. Its goal is the elimination of the supernatural order from public life to prepare the way for its natural Messiah. As such, any social, political, or religious structure based on the Kingship of Christ is seen as an obstacle to be removed. The French Revolution, with its Declaration of the Rights of Man, was not an isolated event but a milestone in the destruction of the "Christian State," paving the way for this naturalistic agenda to infiltrate the structures of nations (Fahey, 1953, p. 34, 60).
🌐 The Historical Reality: Communism as an Instrument
To classify the link between prominent Jewish figures and Bolshevism as a "myth" is to ignore documented historical facts, interpreting them through a purely materialistic lens that obscures their theological significance. Marxism, far from being a system alien to Jewish thought, can be understood as a secularized form of Jewish messianism. Karl Marx himself, a "clear and lucid Talmudist," inherited the Hebrew materialism that dreams of a paradise on earth, rejecting the hope of a supernatural life (Fahey, 1953, p. 98).
Communism, in its essence, serves as a powerful instrument of destruction. Its aim of abolishing private property, dismantling nations, and eradicating religion aligns perfectly with the need to demolish the Christian social order. This is the "renovation of the world... from below by Jewish guidance of revolution" (Fahey, 1953, p. 145). Prominent figures in the financing of the Bolshevik Revolution, such as Jacob Schiff and the Warburg brothers, demonstrate that this connection was not accidental but part of a larger plan, where Bolshevism and international capitalism are two sides of the same coin, both utilized for the ends of Jewish nationalism (Fahey, 1953, p. 155-156). Therefore, the question is not whether the leaders were Jewish, but that the movement itself serves the greater purpose of dismantling Christendom.
⚖️ The Crucial Distinction: Opposition to Naturalism versus Racial Hatred
The accusation of "anti-Semitism" is often used to silence any legitimate opposition to the naturalistic program of the Jewish nation. It is imperative to make a clear distinction, one that the Catholic Church itself has always maintained.
On the one hand, the Church unequivocally condemns hatred of the Jewish race, so-called anti-Semitism. Such hatred is abominable, especially since Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to the flesh, was a Jew, born of the House of David (Fahey, 1953, p. 79). The Church, in a decree of the Holy Office from 1928, reiterates that it "condemns hatred of the people once chosen by God, namely, that hatred commonly designated as 'Anti-Semitism'" (Fahey, 1953, p. 75).
On the other hand, it is a fundamental duty of every Catholic to defend the Social Kingship of Christ. This necessarily implies opposing any organized force that seeks to eliminate the influence of the supernatural life from society. To combat "Jewish Naturalism" is not an act of racial hatred; it is an act of fidelity to Christ the King. It is the defense of the divine order against organized disorder (Fahey, 953, p. 80). The strategy of broadening the term "anti-Semitism" to include any form of opposition to Jewish nationalistic aims is a tactic to paralyze the defense of Christendom, making Catholics fear to defend the rights of God lest they be labeled with an odious epithet (Fahey, 1953, p. 125). The true issue is theological: the acceptance or rejection of the one divine plan for world order.
