Behind Communism

by Frank L. Britton

From inside front cover, by the "To understand the total problem of communism it is necessary that we trace the course of the movement from its beginning down to the present. We must understand who its originators were, and what they were, and we must gain some idea as to the forces which influenced and shaped their philosophy. Unfortunately, any deep-down discussion of communism and Marxism involves the Jewish question. We cannot honestly discuss the subject without revealing--and commenting on--the fact that the founders of Russian communism were Jewish. Neither can we ignore the fact that all but a few of the top leadership of the American communist party--including the recently convicted spys--are of the same race. These are facts of history over which we have no control. But we are faced with the very serious problem of how to reveal these facts without being labeled--and treated--as 'anti-Semites'. The main reason why so little is known concerning the true nature of communism stems from this problem. Historical writers have been understandably reluctant to hold forth on the subject for fear of marking themselves as 'race haters' and 'bigots'. For this reason the entire subject has been placed beyond the pale of discussion. One simply does not use the word 'Jew' and 'Communism' together. The result if, of course, censorship. In this work we have decided to breach the wall of silence at whatever the cost, and to treat the subject as fairly and as honestly as we know how. No attempt is made to single out individuals because they happened to be born to a certain race; neither have we exempted anyone from criticism for that reason. It was decided that since Communism and Judaism are so irretrievably bound one to the other, a history of the Jewish people would contribute substantially to an understanding of the present communist menace."

A very informative book for those interested in the truth behind communism but it needs an updated version printed. This ends about the 1950's and 1960's.

An important thing I first discovered from this short book is the common origin and considerable overlap between Communism and Zionism, both being products of Eastern European Jewry. An excellent introductory primer for anyone seeking a deeper understanding and a politically incorrect history of the most deadly ideology of the last 200 years and the disproportionate ethnic basis of its most fervent adherents.

Good book, lots of condensed information. It was very helpful in my learning about the Jewish Question.

[Da1tonthegreat · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent, albeit skimpy, overview of the Jewish nature of communism. Britton emphasizes the history of the Jews in Russia, culminating in the Bolshevik takeover, and then finishes by discussing Hollywood. His book had an influence on the writings and thought of David Duke. I would give it a higher rating, if not for an unacceptably high number of proofreading errors and some factual inconsistencies.

it was interesting, but there was a strong bias against Jews (this coming from an Arabian)

[Stephen Paddock · Rating 1 out of 5]

a pawn of mccarthyism, a racist, bigot, an authors version of a demagogue, hatemonger, fear monger, prejudiced, anti/post-intellectual

[Bobby Daugherty · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick read, lots of pictures. Good material to inform the uninitiated.

Ignores the fact tens of thousands of Jews too were deported or suffered under communism or the fact jews were treated like dirt in Tsarist Russia. Just prior to his death, Stalin was planning on a genocide of Jews as part of the "Doctors plot". The politburo under him was in fact multicultural, he and Beria were Georgians, Kaganovich a Jew, Malenkov and Voroshilov Russians, Kruschev Ukrainian , Mikoyan an Armenian etc.
