Judaísm and the Modern Political Myths

Abstract

In the beginning the national socialist propaganda used to state that only intended to break the influence of what is jew within the political and cultural life of Germany. There is not only the need to try and understand the phenomenon from its emotional side though, but also from its intellectual one. In the history of mankind they were the first ones in denying and defying those conceptions on top of which the new state was being built, as Judaism was first in stepping forward in the decisive act of passing from a mythical religion to a ethical religion. What was otherwise feared by the inventors of the German superior race myth is not jews’ physical endurance, but moral one. Mythical thought always conceives the world as the struggle between divine and demonic powers. It is also true of our modern political myths that the deification process should had been carried out with a corresponding process of demonization.
