Lecture in Bodø, August 4, 1935: A Jew Has No Fatherland

Extract from a lecture in Bodø, August 4, 1935.

By Dr. Gulbrand Lunde.

The Marxist view of life is a fundamental perspective directly derived from liberalism. However, over time, it leads to its opposite: the belief that the state should own all property and control all means of production, effectively gaining dominance over the Norwegian people.

Marxism is a doctrine, formulated by the Jew Karl Marx. A Jew is international and has no fatherland. He therefore based his teaching on the international. The Norwegian Labor Party is still clinging to this foreign doctrine, which has nothing to do with Norwegian thinking and Norwegian public sentiment. Presently, our people are being steered toward an international path that cannot lead to progress and may ultimately bring misfortune. Marxism does not believe that development is led by the great men and their thoughts and ideas, but by the conditions of production. For them, they are the primary thing. Such a view of life is decidedly at odds with all spiritual life, with our Christian religion and with Norwegian thinking.

We must look at it all historically and find what binds us all together in this time of dissolution, and that is the national, the fact that we are all descended from the same root, that we all have something of our ancestors in us, which we must carry on and develop. We must return to this when everything slips away. This common feeling that arises in a time like this, that we are part of the same people, we must protect and build on. On the one hand, we are independent, free individuals, and on the other hand, we must remember that we first achieve our full development as part of the Norwegian people. Our shared interests bind us together; we are all in the same boat. Then the true patriotism awakens. What you love you also sacrifice for, and we must all be willing to make an effort for our people.

In the Storting, we see how the various party politicians conduct their horse-trading and support each other's small special interests without thinking that they are sitting there as representatives of the entire Norwegian people. They occupy seats in the government and the Storting (the Norwegian parliament) but achieve little. Meanwhile, unemployment rates are on the rise.

When the Norwegian Labor Party assumes power, it becomes evident that they offer nothing substantially new, other than a slightly nicer bourgeois policy. It's the same methods, just a little nicer, a little more large-scale. The party that a little while ago voted against the taxes of the bourgeois, now introduces a tax that feels worst for those who are in need. It is a fraud on the people.
