The international communist movement launched by the famous Jewish revolutionaries Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky resulted in an enormous social experiment that lasted seventy years. The revolutionaries went through hardships and privations under the unreasonably socially oppressed systems and tasted psychological frustrations. But their anti-establishment movement was a sign of inner anger, rage, and aggression and their dream-like Utopian ideology was a sign of infantile wishful fantasies. They tried to destroy the traditional family structure and to overcome racial discriminations. Their model for Utopia originated in the symbolic paradise of early mother-infant relations that is symbiotic beyond all differentiation and separations. The world of oneness, without the discrimination of posession and non-possession, is the only source of communist ideology. Although the revoluntionaries struggled against social inequality and absurdities, all human-beings begin to find inequality and absurdity during their anal and phallic stages. Historically many socialist revolutionaries who struggled against capitalism were Jewish, including Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Martov, Menshevik, Kerensky, Ladek, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Luxemburg, and Goldman. Is this a coincidence? Ironically the major contributors to capitalism were also Jewish. So, paradoxically, capitalism and communism which divided the world transiently were works rooted in Jewish minds. Such extremely contrary attitudes toward money or gold is like reaction formation. Excessive love or hate of money is also a kind of tenacity or attachment, though undesirable. The psychosocial origin or background of the Russian Revolution was rooted in the powerful Jewish motivation to establish a new world based on equality, but the ideal was doomed to fail because it disregarded personal freedom and basic human needs, wishes and desires, and because philanthropy was regarded as a hindrance to revolution. I believe that was the critical blind spot that led to failure.
