One of the other things that was kind of raising its head was what had happened nearby a year, well, the Russian Revolution, which had now brought the idea, which brought another solution to all of this, the idea of revolutionary Marxism.

Russia, 5% of the population is industrial workers. In Germany, 40% of the population is industrial. So if any place was like made for Marxism, it was Germany. I think that's why it caught on in East Germany so well, because it did kind of come home. It was a local belief. It wasn't something imported by the Russians. It was a German invention.

The Thule Society, one of the things you can see in this is the Thule Society was particularly involved in anti-Marxist or anti-Bolshevik agitation. They saw themselves as this whole movement. It was a counter to this. It was a kind of counter Marxist movement.

Marxism formulates everything by class. People are categorized by class. You're either part of the proletariat or you're part of the bourgeoisie. You're either part of the proletariat or just some sort of scum. Really? Needs to be swept into the dustbin of history. Only workers count.

And that was what would take someone who was a nationalist, would sort of drive them crazy because their idea is we're trying to create a German people. We're trying to create a common German identity. But what the Marxists are doing is they're dividing Germans against each other by class. German workers hate the German bourgeoisie. German proletariat is opposed to German capitalists.

We're all trying to fight this war together. So that was why Marxism, particularly in the form of Bolshevism, was seen as unpatriotic. And of course, it was opposed to the war as a whole.
