Statement of the Communist Party of Kampuchea [CPK] to the Communist Workers’ Party of Denmark, July 1978* Author’s Note: What unfolds in this important document
If the author had even ‘hinted’ at this, I suspect he would have been arrested for (imagined) anti-Semitism, but historical fact is historical fact and the average Israeli is taught in the classroom to be ‘proud’ of the terrorism his or her fore-fathers wrought upon the British Army (and British Authorities) in Palestine. In a very real sense, a certain (and often privileged) sector of middle-class European Jewry had first ‘migrated’ into a more or less welcoming (Arab) Palestine, only to eventually attempt an armed invasion and conquest very much in the model of European colonialism in the Americas! The Zionist Jews of Israel are not an ethnic minority fighting for its survival and self-determination but are part of the broader European project of colonialism, imperialism, genocide and theft of land and resources. This should not be surprising when it is understood that ‘Zionism’ is a form of White Supremacy developed and practised by affluent and secularising ‘White’ Jews (ironically originally from Germany)!

By December 1939, the UK was already at war with Nazi Germany, but not with the US. Furthermore, Hitler had not yet successfully invaded Western Europe. In the years leading up to this time, the UK (and other Western powers) has indulged Hitler and his Nazi regime, giving away territory and entire countries as virtual gifts! Britain’s Winston Churchill was ironically particularly admiring of Hitler, with the British and American governments hinting a ‘clear hand in the East’ should Hitler turn his armies toward the USSR and destroy its Marxist-Leninist regime. At this time the USSR was not ready to confront Hitler and the Soviet Government cleverly turned the tide on the likes of Churchill (and the anti-Soviet French) by generating the conditions for a ‘free hand in the West’ should Hitler decide to attack the Western (capitalist) democracies. This policies bought nearly two extra crucial years for the Red Army to modernise and mobilise. In effect this Soviet policy guaranteed the Allied vistory over Fascism – led as it was by the USSR!
The reactionary regimes of the world mimic the progressive rhetoric (and institutions) of the Socialist regimes (and movements), in an attempt to project the false
