For reasons which will immediately be apparent, the Jew has never possessed a culture of
his own and the basis for his knowledge has always been furnished by the civilizations of
others.
In every age, his intellect has developed by using the civilization surrounding him. The
reverse of that process has never taken place. The selfpreservation instinct of the Jewish
people is greater than that of other peoples. Even if their intellectual powers at first appear
to be equal to other races, they completely lack the all important requirement of a civilized
people, the spirit of idealism.
The Jewish people’s willingness to self-sacrifice does not go beyond the basic instinct of
individual self-preservation. Their strong feeling of racial solidarity is based on a very
primitive “herd” instinct like you see in many other forms of life. It is worth mentioning that
this herd instinct leads to mutual support only as long as a common danger makes it seem
useful or unavoidable. The same pack of wolves which a moment before was united in
devouring its prey breaks up into individuals once their hunger has been satisfied. The same
is true of horses. They will band together in order to defend themselves against attack and
then scatter again when the danger is past.
The same holds true for the Jew. His apparent will to self-sacrifice is deceptive. It exists only
when the life of each individual is at stake and an alliance becomes absolutely necessary for
the preservation of the individual. The moment the common enemy is defeated, the
common danger avoided, or the plunder secured, the apparent harmony of the Jews’ pact
among themselves comes to an end, giving way once more to their original natural
tendencies.
The Jews are in agreement only when a common danger forces them, or when a common
prey tempts them. When they are not faced with either case, their most insensitive selfish
qualities take over and in an instant, these united people become a swarm of rats carrying
on bloody battle, bitterly fighting against each other.
If the Jews were alone in the world, they would smother in filth and slop and would try to
outwit and exterminate one another in a bitter battle. However, the lack of any willingness
for self-sacrifice and the expression of their own cowardice turns even this battle into a
pretense.
It is a complete mistake to assume an idealistic self-sacrifice is seen in the Jews when they
come together to fight, or rather, when they come together to exploit their fellow-men.
Even here, the Jew is guided by nothing but blatant individual selfishness. For that reason,
the Jewish “State”, which should be a vital organization aimed at the preservation and
increase of a race, has no boundaries. In order to have definite borders for a state, which
give it structure, one must have an idealistic spirit within the state’s race and a proper
understanding of the idea of labor. Any attempt to form or even to preserve a state that has
no boundaries will fail if this attitude towards work is missing. Without a State, the sole
foundation which a culture needs to grow disappears. Despite the Jewish people’s apparent
intellectual qualities, they still have no true civilization, at least not a civilization of their
own. Whatever pretense of a civilization the Jew possesses today, comes from the
contribution of other races, mostly those who were damaged by them.
