2. According to Marx, anti-capitalist ideologies like socialism and communism are immune to Jewish exploitation because the means of production are stripped from Jewish capitalists and collectivized.

1. In the 1890s, there was a popular saying among German Socialist Democrats: "anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools." This was inspired by Karl Marx's theory that socialism is immune to exploitation by Jewish capitalists, and hatred of Jews was actually hatred of capitalism.pic.twitter.com/0W5aonUR08

3. Ironically, during the Bolshevik Revolution, Jewish capitalists simply handed over the means of production to Jewish bureaucrats. But after the fall of the USSR in 1991, the means of production fell right back into the hands of Jewish capitalists. But I digress.pic.twitter.com/UfyWwCeFop

4. Before Marx, most animus towards Jews was based in religion (e.g. Martin Luther). Marx refined this thinking, pinpointing the commercial nature of Judaism as the source of animus towards Jews. Incidentally, the biological basis of Jew-hate would come later...pic.twitter.com/MVfW4c1cil

5. Marx claimed that Judaism was the blueprint for capitalist exploitation & Jews were just led astray by its doctrine. From Marx's "On the Jewish Question" (1843): "What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money." Hebrew bible scripture

6. Marx believed that the commercial nature of Judaism was manifest in capitalism, which had been adopted by Jew and Christian alike. From Marx's essay, "On the Jewish Question:" “The Jews have emancipated themselves insofar as the Christians have become Jews.”pic.twitter.com/Po94loAz86

7. Marx wasn't condemning ethnic Jews so much as he was condemning Judaism, of which he claimed everyone was an adherent via capitalism. Marx, an ethnic Jew, commonly referred to Jews in the third person because, as an Atheist, he considered himself liberated from his Jewishness.pic.twitter.com/M98iAPnB4u

8. Like most people at the time, Marx believed Jews could extricate themselves from their Jewishness by renouncing Judaism. Although Johann Blumenbach first referred to Jews as a race in 1775, they were still considered Caucasians and baptism was considered a cure for Jewishness.pic.twitter.com/qR5sdwIirp

9. Contrary to Jewish claims, Marx wasn't anti-Semitic; he was anti-Judaic. Racial hatred of Jews (anti-Semitism) wouldn't be conceived until 20 years after Marx wrote On the Jewish Question, and it stayed on the fringe until Wilhelm Marr popularized it 40 years later in 1881.pic.twitter.com/3DfS3VM9VC

10. Unsurprisingly, Jews have now strategically characterized any criticism of their behavior and criticism of Israel as "anti-Semitism" - a racial hatred of Jews. This ploy turns the tables on their critics because society abhors "racists" more than everything else.pic.twitter.com/oI9hDMcBMJ

11. Frederick Engels, Marx's frequent collaborator who also blamed Judaism for Jewish capitalistic exploitation, even wrote a defense of ethnic Jews after Marx's death, proving that their criticism of Jews was spiritual, not biological as "anti-Semitism" confers.pic.twitter.com/onWRPcT9uU

12. So while Marx rebuked Judaism for its commercial nature, this sentiment had existed long before Marx was born. Jesus was actually the first to criticize the commercial nature of Judaism

13. Now, let's look at Jews living in capitalist countries today. It is irrefutable that Jews are overrepresented in what Marx called the "Bourgeoisie" class. But who are these exploitative, Jewish capitalists that Marx was referring to?pic.twitter.com/fzwBuMMK6y

14. Today, there are many exploitative Jewish capitalists that fit Marx's description. For example, the Jewish Sackler family who single-handedly started the US opioid epidemic for profit. Court documents from a lawsuit filed against the Sacklers revealed their lust for money

15. Or Jewish Glencore founder Marc Rich who was indicted for tax evasion, racketeering, and fraud, and subsequently fled the US. He even purchased oil from Iran while they were under US sanctions during the 1979 hostage crisis & sold it to Israel via a secret pipeline.pic.twitter.com/pxb9qWwScw

16. But perhaps even more exploitative than the Sacklers or Marc Rich is a pair of Jewish capitalists who exploit millions of taxpayers for profit. To meet them, we'll have to travel to the sunny state of California - home of the $4.5 billion corporation, Wonderful Company.pic.twitter.com/vAXHDxShW6

17. Wonderful Company is the world's largest almond and pistachio agricultural producer. Half of all Americans have consumed at least one of Wonderful's various products. Wonderful also produces the top-selling bottled water product in the US, Fiji Water.pic.twitter.com/O5wL3LH27J

18. Wonderful Company is owned by Stewart & Lynda Resnick. During a drought in 80s, this Beverly Hills Jewish couple nabbed 180,000 acres of farmland in California to build their agricultural empire; just like the Jewish opportunists who nabbed Russian assets after the USSR fell.pic.twitter.com/HAyUF8kkZD

19. The Resnicks' story is no tale of rags to riches. Lynda's family amassed a fortune in Hollywood after producing the 1950s cult classic movie, The Blob. Stewart made his way West from New Jersey when his uncle bought a strip mall in Long Beach, California.pic.twitter.com/Un4a9Yqz41

20. In 1978, the Resnicks purchased their first 640-acre plot of farmland as a hedge against inflation in Lost Hills - a town in the San Joaquin Valley. But it wasn't until a six-year drought in the 1980s that they acquired farmland roughly six times the size of San Francisco.pic.twitter.com/XV4Uljkcst

21. Lost Hills lies in the dryest part of the San Joaquin Valley - an area prone to frequent droughts, just northwest of Bakersfield (map below). Stewart Resnick, who has never even sat on a tractor, once admitted, "I'm from Beverly Hills - I don't know good land from bad land."pic.twitter.com/HMMtKCYx2y

22. As the largest citrus and nut producers in the US, the Resnicks need more water than the local Kern River supplies. After all, a single almond requires a gallon of water to grow & the Resnicks have 5 million almond trees. So the Resnicks pump water from the San Joaquin Delta.pic.twitter.com/7cXoPmGUAq

23. But environmental groups have warned about the damage the Resnicks are doing by overdraining the San Joaquin Delta, threatening the Delta's already endangered wildlife. Consequently, draining was curtailed when the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) was passed in 1993.pic.twitter.com/1jI73NoyFP

24. Subsequently, the Resnicks threatened to sue California's Department of Water Resources because it could no longer honor every pre-existing water contract that came with the Resnicks' farmland when they purchased it; the state needed to protect endangered wildife.pic.twitter.com/7vzS3q6eMn

25. Apparently, to avoid a lawsuit, California's Department of Water Resources mysteriously decided to give the Resnicks control of its largest underground water reservoir - Kern County's 488 billion gallon water bank - even though taxpayers spent $150 million developing it.pic.twitter.com/lJlMjGJ0jc

26. According to the Natural Heritage Group, the Resnicks were the catalyst behind this unconstitutional gift, which was developed specifically so Californians wouldn't have to ration water during California's frequent droughts.pic.twitter.com/3II63sXbSi

27. For over 20 years, groups have tried suing to reverse the transfer and integrate the Kern water bank back into the state's water management plan. Not only were environmentalists excluded from the original meeting, a prior environmental review was never conducted by the state.pic.twitter.com/Wa0qqvbvXL

28. With control of the Kern water bank, the Resnicks are now able to drain the Delta, store that water in the Kern water bank until there is a drought, then sell the water back to the state at a premium, making massive profits at the expense of taxpayers.pic.twitter.com/J7Xz3f2Cpj

29. The Delta water, although restricted, is part of California's State Water Project which allocates taxpayer-subsidized surface water to farmers to curb groundwater pumping from underground water banks like Kern. But this doesn't stop the Resnicks from overdraining Kern anyway.pic.twitter.com/o7wcMEjHfW

30. Why does the state seek to curb groundwater pumping? Because it sinks the land and damages canals, bridges and other infrastructure that taxpayers will have to fix. According to NASA, the land has sunk 30 feet from overdraining and the Resnicks are the prime culprit.pic.twitter.com/XvfuM2wR8Y

31. With plans to use subsidized Delta water to expand their crop acreage another 40% by 2020, the Resnicks sought to undermine the restrictive Endangered Species Act that protects the Delta. To do this, they enlisted the help of fellow Jew, Senator Dianne Feinstein.pic.twitter.com/HgB7JcXVFo
