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.
