I<\/span>n the 2015 film Look Who\u2019s Back<\/em>, Adolf Hitler, upon shooting himself, finds that he is not dead but transported 70 years into the future. As the F\u00fchrer explores the new Germany, he becomes a popular sensation with everyone believing him to be a man trying to make a statement. When asked which of the current parties he would support, Hitler replies that it would be the Green Party, much to the audience\u2019s amusement.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this was not so far-fetched. Feda Shahin, a candidate for the Green Party of England and Wales, claimed that before the Holocaust, during the Bolshevik Revolution, Zionists killed 20 million Christians and that the \u201ccommittee\u201d that decided this was made up of 500 people, 480 of whom were \u201cZionists.\u201d<\/p>\n

[T]here is more to this link between the modern far left and National Socialism. Despite the ideological differences, a similar Weltanschauung can be detected in the two.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

None of that is true. The leading Bolsheviks who were Jewish (Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev, and Lev Kamenev) all denounced their Jewish heritage. Another one, Karl Radek, told a German friend that he wanted to \u201cexterminate\u201d the Jews. None of the Russian Zionist groups had any military power. Lenin dismissed their idea of a Jewish nation, and as his power solidified, the Soviet government increasingly harassed Zionist groups. Shahin\u2019s assertion was nothing less than a repacking of the \u201cJudeo-Bolshevik\u201d myth, that the Bolsheviks were virtually all Jews, with Zionist simply being a substitute for Jew.<\/p>\n

This was not the only such incident of a Leftist-Nazi connection. Actress Helen Mirren was accosted on the streets of London and labeled an \u201cevil Zionist B#t@h.\u201d The man who said this was identified as Tom Carrol, a self-described \u201cCorbynista,\u201d affiliated with an account called Anti-Fascist Action UK. Despite this, Carroll\u2019s social media contained numerous posts praising Hitler and casting doubt on the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Across the Western world, there has been a growing adoption of antisemitic and Nazi talking points on the far left. With only the briefest of glances, one can find all the usual tropes: the Jewish (Zionist) World Conspiracy, the sexual predator preying on children, the greedy capitalist, etc.<\/p>\n

Shortly after entering Congress, it was discovered that Rep. Rashida Tlaib followed on Instagram, free.palestine.1948, a noxious account that compared Jews to rats, blamed them for 9\/11, and repeated the blood libel; an antisemitism so crass that it could have come from the pen of Julius Streicher himself. That a sitting congresswoman was following the Instagram equivalent of Der St\u00fcrmer<\/em> garnered no outrage.<\/p>\n

Another Green Party candidate, Tina Ion, raged that \u201cJewish Nazis \u2026 the money-grubbing THIEVES have built mountains of money over centuries that they use to buy their way in the world through the lowest and most corrupt individuals in high places.\u201d Leaving aside the fact that political Zionism only came about in the 1880s and thus is less than two centuries old, this quote bares remarkable resemblance, if lower intellectual caliber, to one by German General, and early partner of Hitler, Erich Ludendorff in 1922: \u201cThe leadership of the Jewish people \u2026 win for the Jews in Palestine a state territory and recognition as a nation, and to win for themselves in Europe and America suprastatal and supracapitalist hegemony.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another post, Ion said, \u201cIsrael must be eradicated. Even if it means killing every single Zionist.\u201d After calling Zionists \u201cvermin,\u201d she continued, \u201cAnd vermin must be eradicated so they can\u2019t harm children.\u201d The account Ion wrote this under was called \u201cthereal.anne.frank\u201d with its profile pic being Frank wearing a keffiyeh. Poor taste, given that one of the major leaders of the Palestinians, while Frank was alive, Grand Mufti al-Husseini, knew and actively supported her and all the other little Jewish girls of Europe being shipped to Auschwitz, Chelmno, or Treblinka.<\/p>\n

As Ion\u2019s point shows, this uttering of Nazi propaganda neatly corresponds to an increase in comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany or the purported Nazi-Zionist \u201cconnection.\u201d While the connection is largely the product of Cold War Soviet propaganda, it also follows one of the claims of the infamous forgery, The<\/em> Protocols of the Elders of Zion<\/em>, that Jews engineer persecution and violence against other Jews to gain international sympathy; note the numerous conspiracy theories that the Bondi Beach massacre was a Zionist false-flag.<\/p>\n

Another prime example was when the controversial far-left streamer Hasan Piker engaged in a form of Holocaust revisionism during an interview by claiming that some Jews participated in the \u201cNazi command structure.\u201d This \u201cclaim\u201d centers around three men: Emil Maurice, Field Marshal Erhard Milch, and General Helmuth Wilberg. All three men under the Nazi classification were part Jewish. However, none of them acted or considered themselves Jewish, let alone Zionists. None, besides Milch, were high-ranking officials, and none were involved in the Nazi\u2019s extermination policies. As with later comments about Albert Einstein, Mr. Piker received no pushback from the interviewer after he made these comments.<\/p>\n

In this telling, not only are the Zionists (Jews) the new Nazis, but also that the Nazis were right about them. To the average person, these two claims are incongruous, but to focus on that is to misunderstand the point. As Dr. Goebbels put it, \u201cIt is not propaganda\u2019s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.\u201d Just as the dialectic of antisemitism allowed that Jews created both capitalism and communism to ferment unrest and conquer the world, it allows the Jews to now be the Nazis and for the Nazis to have seen the true nature of the Jews.<\/p>\n

While there is the inherent irrationality of antisemitism, there is more to this link between the modern far left and National Socialism. Despite the ideological differences, a similar Weltanschauung <\/em>can be detected in the two.<\/p>\n

Hannah Arendt\u2019s The Origins of Totalitarianism<\/em> provides keys to understanding this phenomenon. While she focused on the similarity between Stalinism and Nazism, Arendt discusses a wider totalitarian mindset in which people are forced to not just denounce the enemy but also prove that they themselves are not one. Take, for instance, the people who insist that the increase in antisemitism is the fault of people who conflate Jews with Israel or Zionism. It is not simply going after Zionists but forcing all Jews to prove they are not a Zionist. Engaging in their own version of \u201cPower Propaganda,\u201d they assert that Jews will only be safe when they all renounce Zionism.<\/p>\n

Then there is the contempt displayed toward the current world order. The Nazis scorned the modern liberal nation-state, instead envisioning a world empire. Hitler privately dismissed German nationalism, instead speaking of an \u201cAryan people\u201d that would rule. A perverse inversion of this thinking can be detected in the Third Worldists, who likewise disdain the nation-state and international borders, with race being the true dividing line. The scorn that many harbor for the two-state solution and Israel\u2019s right to its 1967 border (that the international community recognizes) provides further strength to this analysis.<\/p>\n

Once the Nazis achieved power, there was a noticeable tendency for Communists to join the party, leading to the term \u201cBeefsteak Nazis.\u201d Brown on the outside, red on the inside. We should now coin another term: \u201cAvocado Leftists.\u201d Green on the outside, brown on the inside. With the shocking rise of Nazi talking points and antisemitism, one is reminded of the F\u00fchrer\u2019s final line in Look Who\u2019s Back<\/em>.<\/p>\n
