Abraham Lincoln, communist sympathizer and pen pal with Karl Marx

Two men who caused rivers of white blood while “championing the oppressed” 

Lincoln and Marx ⁠— born only nine years apart ⁠— were contemporaries. They had many mutual friends, read each other’s work and, in 1865, exchanged letters.

And what were those ideals and ideas? They were anti-slavery, pro-worker and sometimes overtly socialist, according to John Nichols, author of the book “The ‘S’ Word: A Short History of an American Tradition … Socialism.” The New York Tribune championed the redistribution of land in the American West to the poor and the emancipation of slaves.

“Greeley welcomed the disapproval of those who championed free markets over the interests of the working class, a class he recognized as including both the oppressed slaves of the south and the degraded industrial laborers of the north,” Nichols writes.

Marx was intensely interested in the plight of American slaves. In January 1860, he told Engels that the two biggest things happening in the world were “on the one hand the movement of the slaves in America started by the death of John Brown, and on the other the movement of the serfs in Russia.”

He equated Southern slaveholders with European aristocrats, Blackburn writes, and thought ending chattel slavery “would not destroy capitalism, but it would create conditions far more favorable to organizing and elevating labor, whether white or black.”

Over the next decade, Marx wrote nearly 500 articles for the paper. Many of his contributions became unsigned columns appearing on the front page as the publication’s official position. Marx later “borrowed liberally” from his New York Tribune writings for his book “Capital,” according to Nichols.

Like a lot of nascent Republicans, Lincoln was an “avid reader” of the Tribune. It’s nearly guaranteed that, in the 1850s, Lincoln was regularly reading Marx.

In 1860, two major factors helped to propel Lincoln — a one-term congressman and country lawyer most known for losing a Senate campaign — to the Republican nomination for the presidency. First, the support of former German revolutionaries who had become key players in the Republican Party; and second, the support of the party’s newspaper, the Tribune.

Once Lincoln took office, his alliance with socialists didn’t stop. Dana left the Tribune to become Lincoln’s eyes and ears in the War Department, following along with troop movements and telling Lincoln what he thought of his generals. A soldier working in the telegraph office later wrote that “Lincoln waited eagerly” for “Dana’s long dispatches.”

And Greeley continued to urge Lincoln to take a harder line against slavery, to make the Civil War not just about preserving the union but about abolition. Marx did the same in the pages of the Tribune.

In 1863, they got what they wanted when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

In January 1865, Marx wrote to Lincoln on behalf of the International Workingmen’s Association, a group for socialists, communists, anarchists and trade unions, to “congratulate the American people upon your reelection.”

A few weeks later, a reply came via Charles Francis Adams — son of former president John Quincy Adams, grandson of former president John Adams and U.S. ambassador to Britain under Lincoln.

He told Marx that Lincoln had received his message, and it was “accepted by him with a sincere and anxious desire that he may be able to prove himself not unworthy of the confidence which has been recently extended to him by his fellow citizens and by so many of the friends of humanity and progress throughout the world.”

Notably, Adams indicated Lincoln considered Marx and company “friends.” He went on to say that the Union “derive[s] new encouragement to persevere from the testimony of the workingmen of Europe.”

Both letters ran in newspapers across Britain and the United States. Marx was delighted, telling Engels it created “such a sensation” that the “bourgeoisie” in private clubs were “shaking their heads at it.”

Lincoln also met with the New York chapter of the Workingmen’s Association, telling its members in 1864: “The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation, should be one uniting all working people, of all nations, and tongues, and kindreds.” Which is perhaps a more eloquent rendering of Marx’s famous rallying cry: “Workers of the world unite!”

Lincoln never took up the mantle of socialism. He believed in the system of wage labor even as he proposed reforms to it; Marx rejected it as another form of slavery. But Lincoln certainly viewed socialists as allies, and Nichols writes, “It is indisputable that the Republican Party had at its founding a red streak.”

It was also noted by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. In February 1968, at a celebration of the life of W.E.B. Du Bois at Carnegie Hall, King brought up that the co-founder of the NAACP became a communist in his later years.

“It is worth noting,” King said, “that Abraham Lincoln warmly welcomed the support of Karl Marx during the Civil War and corresponded with him freely. … Our irrational obsessive anti-communism has led us into too many quagmires to be retained as if it were a mode of scientific thinking.”

  1. To all the dumb Western communists:

    You know fuck all. Millions have died because of communism, possibly 100 million murdered by communists.

    The elite communists had luxury apartments, and a 2nd country home, a dacha….private doctors, private luxury holidays, imported cars and clothes….. four-star cuisine…. a life of luxury compared to the ordinary citizens.

    The suicide rates were a national secret in the workers paradise. It was such a lovely place a Wall had to be built to keep the lucky workers in.

    Any arseholes supporting communism should be deported to North Korea.

    • My mother and I visited East Berlin in 1975 in order to see the amazing Pergamon Museum of antiquities there…. What a scary, depressing, grim city, deprived of all beauty.

      Hideous modern architecture…. bullets holes from WWII still in the building walls after three decades….almost no cars, just a few taxis and taxi stands with iron-pipe queue fencing…..a grocery store with almost no fresh vegetables and artificial honey from Cuba…. though a kilo loaf of very good whole-grain bread cost only a dollar.

      Oh, and they confiscated my mother’s Bible, being good communists.

      The East German marxists wantonly tore down, out of blind hatred of the kings of Prussia, the City Palace in Berlin, which had survived the war almost intact…. It has been rebuilt after Est Germany disappeared at a cost of 600 million euros.

      ….to put this thing up for 465 million dollars, the Palace of the Republic:

      Because our rulers are jews, and jews are ugly, and descend from neanderthals with zero appreciation for beauty (no cave paintings for tens of thousands of years, whereas OUR ancestors, the Cro Magnons, did beautiful work at Lascaux and elsewhere), everything in jew world must be ugly.. and ugliness also causes depression and hopelessness — so the miserable goyim just despair and never revolt.

  2. The National Socialist Party had socialist roots. It grew out of the German Workers Party.

    The industrial revolution of the nineteenth century turned the bulk of the White population into veritable slaves. Unlike true slaves they were free to chose where they would labor to earn a living, but like slaves they would labor for a subsistence income. And children were made to work in factories.

    That Lincoln corresponded with Marx was not to his discredit, in my opinion.

    There was obvious injustice involved in the economic system of nineteenth century capitalism, and thoughtful White minds were looking for solutions to this problem.

    • All true but then why burn down ten thousand farms that poor people needed to survive?

      And by unleashing the negroes on the Southerners during “Reconstruction” he was harming the poor whites the most. The rich whites can always live in gated communities or have servants and bodyguards, and send their kids to private schools — not the poor whites. They must live cheek-by-jowl with violent negroes!

      A few days ago in Chicago:

      Like all true leftists, Lincoln saw only class, not race. We national socialists saw both. 🙂

      • The Russians burned their wheat fields in order to deprive Napoleon’s army, which had penetrated Russia all the way to Moscow, of its food source.

        Sherman burned crops in the South for the same reason — to deprive an army of its food source.

        • Was the South attacking the North, or was it invaded after it had legally seceded by the democratic vote of six state legislatures with the signatures of six duly elected governors?

          • In his Farewell Address didn’t Washington implore the States to hold together as one nation?

            If the nation had split into two countries it would have been greatly weakened. Moreover, the Monroe Doctrine, which effectively declared it an act of war for any powerful foreign nation to establish a foothold in the American continent, would have been overridden since the South undoubtedly would have established strong ties with European powers.

            Having grown up in the South (Oak Ridge, Tennessee) I know from first hand experience that Lincoln is hated by Southerners. But Lincoln is also known as Honest Abe because he never concealed his intentions. And he is thought to be a great American by many, even with a status equaling that of the Founding Fathers.

            Therefore I think it unwise to attack him, considering that the Jews have taken over the country and we Whites must set aside our differences and think with our blood if we are to win back our land.

          • The problem is that Lincoln created a new, insane, suicidal paradigm in harmony with Talmudic zionism for what America actually is: for Abe it was a land of freedom and opportunity for any race.

            And that shows he was a true leftist. And now we are a feuding, divided, multiracial hellhole where half the population does not work and survives on a federal check. The inexorable rise of China to total world supremacy shows that Lincoln’s multiracial democracy is NOT the answer. China is booming because after 2500 years of internal strife they got 1) a one-party system and they are 2) 90% of one ethnic group, the Han Chinese.

            China is basically national socialist with its own Chinese flavor. What they need to do is to jettison the last relic of communism, which is oppressing or banning religions as being mere superstitions… and embrace what I am teaching:

            — the scientific reality of reincarnation

            — the scientific reality of Near Death Experiences

            — the scientific reality of the afterlife

            — the scientific reality of a temporary heaven and of a temporary hell

            — the scientific reality of a tough-love God

            — the scientific reality of terran (earthling) spiritual sickness: 95% of humans suffer from paranoia, hearing a voice in their head, and this voice jabbering away is their own out-of-control mind, masquerading as them.

            You are not your mind, but a soul that HAS a mind…a mind that earthlings be tamed to serve them, not rule them.

            Except for the dying of old people, and the very rare natural events like comets or asteroids hitting the earth, earthquakes, or, far rarer, pole shifts, ALL human misery — all wars, all murders, all rapes, all adulteries, all divorces, all lies, all treason,
            ALL human misery goes back to spiritual sickness, to paranoia.

            And this paranoia goes back to this planet being full of liars with bad karma.

            Terrans lie every five minutes to themselves, to others, and about others.

            So most earthlings, including whites, are insane, and they act insane.

            And every great spiritual leader has run smack into this wall of insanity. Hence the oh-so-common expression “you can’t change people” and also the derisory remark about young idealists:

            “He was out to save the world” or

            “He was out to change the world.”

            If you try, then insane people, guaranteed, will think YOU are insane! 😉

            Oh, and they say,

            “You can’t do nothing. The system is so corrupt; it cannot be fixed, because people are the way they are. I don’t even watch the news any more; it just gets me upset, and I’m nobody; there is nothing I can do about it.”

            And there is a certain truth to all that the way things and peoole are, a certain recognition that the problem goes really, really deep.

            Earthlings are f—d up, they always were and on some level they know it.
            In fact, the US Constitution, with all its balance of power and checks and balances, and its government divided into three branches, executive, legislative and judicial, and the whole theory of representative government, not literal democracy, is the Founding Fathers admitting frankly that the masses are often asses and the leaders are often evil.

            Going back to Abraham Lincoln, The five things I will freely grant this baneful man is that he was 1) brilliant, 2) eloquent, 3) sincere, and 4) effective as a leader, and finally that the man died for his beliefs, being fully aware how hated and loathed he was (rightly) by the Southerners he devastated and massacred and also by many Northerners who understood the race issue and the Southern position.

            Everyone knew slavery was evil and also dangerous. Jefferson understood the black danger, as did Robert E. Lee. Lee even wrote his wife that the negroes were so dangerous that they should remain slaves and not be emancipated until the moment they actually walked up the gangplank and onto a ship taking them far away, removing them to another region — where they would likely go back to a fully African level within one day and 90% die off, being lazy, stupid, dishonest and violent — an evolutionary dead end.

            Oh, either negroes fight for and submit to benevolent white rule here, or I would give the negroes all the black power and self-rule they want elsewhere.

            And then they will solve the problem of their onw existence by doing to each other what negroes always do.

            The Civil War was totally avoidable. Slavery down South could have been peacefully phased out over twenty years, with owners paid compensation and white immigrants from Europe brought in to help grow and harvest cotton, tobacco and other southern crops.

            And if American cotton cost more due to paying healthy white families a truly decent living wage, then fine! There was no need to compete with cheap, British-controlled Egyptian or Indian cotton.

            If American cotton gets too expensive, then grow just enough for the clothing of the American people, and switch other fields to growing wheat, barley, rye, tomatoes, avocados, peanuts and of course, oranges!

            But keep those ngrs out! Lincoln instead SLAUGHTERED WHITES and made Stone Age negroes into US citizens!

            He ignored race, and by revoking General Grant’s order expelling the jews from Tennessee, he kowtowed to the jews!

            If wanting a better life and freedom are the criteria for becoming an American, then the whole Third World has a right to pour in here!

            Lincoln, you redefined America as “the universal nation” — exactly as the jews wanted, which we see in both George Soros in our day and in Lincoln’s pen pal back then, Karl Marx.

      • The above article about the Black riot in Chicago last Saturday was the first I’ve heard of it. I live in a leftist city in California. I get my news from a smartphone. My First Amendment right to access to information is obviously being denied.

  3. Lincoln did not need to emancipate negro chattel slaves. Lincoln being an ignoramus and not connecting the dots is something we can and should blame him for. Lincoln professed many times his desire for whites and blacks to be separated. The same goes NSDAP Germany, a divorce and separation (Jews ejected in a divorce) was desired. In both cases, ejecting negroes from America or Jews from Germany met the logic test. It was rational and based on observable reality. The Jews were a parasitic influence, and negroes were a mismatch, causing friction in white civilizations.

    Lincoln must have noticed that Northern industry, production, and war all improved simultaneously. It was guns-and-butter. Jewish economists love to tell us that you cannot have guns and butter. You would have to be a low-grade moron to not notice general activity increase in the North, and Lincoln was not stupid. Lincoln did not invent debt free greenbacks, which in turn funded the Civil war. Same goes for Hitler. Hitler must have noticed Germany’s bill system almost tripled German economic output from 1933 to 1938. Tax uptake increased by 2.5X in that period. Production was up, consumption was up, tax uptake increased (and could be paid out of production), there was no depression – and women were returned to the home life to make babies. Easily affordable homes that wage earners could purchase, were made. Even if Hitler and Lincoln couldn’t connect the dots, then where were their supposed economic advisors who could?

    Purchasing power can be CHANNELED. I capitalized channeled on purpose. It is an important concept. Money is not general purchasing power as Jewish doctrine would have you believe; it can also be specific purchasing power. Specific, not general – an important concept. PP can is aimed like a firehose to then get a result. This little secret is not to be known and is erased from history. This is narrative that must not be in your brain.

    It is the right of the Sovereign to channel to then benefit the people of a nation. Channeling is something like railroad tracks, the money can only go in the direction it is aimed at. The Oeffabills were channeled at Industry. They could have been channeled at Jew removal. Why not?

    It is only the tiniest bit of a logical jump to figure out that an Oeffabill can be channeled at Jew removal. It is only the tiniest bit of a logical jump to figure out that a Greenback can be deployed for negro removal.

    The Greenbacks, when they were created by Congressional act, were by law – channeled. It stipulated in the act how Greenbacks were to be channeled. A simple system for negro removal could have been created without requiring much imagination. Negro removal would require an underground railroad, staffed with paid agents. These paid agents bribe or use force to extract negroes from the South. The Southern Oligarchy and plantation economy falls on its face. Without negro tractors to harvest the cotton, what are they going to do? They are screwed, and then there is dominoes of credit contagion throughout the British Empire, and by extension the Jew finance class in London. The leverage Lincoln had, but didn’t know he had, was enormous.
    Lincoln most likely gave negroes free-dumb during the war in order to create panic in Confederate soldiers. I find this argument compelling. Southern soldiers would then rush home to protect their white women. In reality, many white women were secretly wanting to ride the dark horse. Other white women were being raped, as the negro is impulsive and animalistic. Or, the white women would lie and blame the Negro, when she actually wanted it. The negro by race and genetics has a now time preference. For all of these reasons it is a very bad idea for both negroes and whites to cohabitate in the same living space. You would need to be somewhat crazy, especially in those days, to not want to rush home. It is pretty odious that Lincoln released the negroes. Even though I defend Lincoln for the good things he did, I cannot abide by his tactic of emancipation. He had to know that there would be bad results.
    Lincoln does not get a pass on emancipation. He must be blamed. And as much as I admire Hitler, I also reserve judgement for the things he didn’t have in his head.
    The civil war was stupid, and it was prosecuted stupidly – all because Lincoln didn’t understand purchasing power (PP), how it works, and that PP can be channeled to derive a result. The biggest hammer in your tool bag is not used? So, it has to be war instead? And as I have stated earlier, the war would most likely have been avoided with a simple rebate of Morrill tariff. The tariff was the real reason for the war. Dumb, Dumb and Dumber were alive and well in the North. There was also greed involved, as the worst of the Northerners wanted to extract from the south in order to industrialize. (Again there is no need to extract, you just create the greenbacks and channel.)

    The same goes for Hitler, he was goaded into Poland for land war (stupid). That Atlantacist Western powers used the Polish idiot Edward Rydz-Smigly to stir passions in Germany. Hitler probably couldn’t resist due to realpolitik as Germans were being murdered. But Hitler did not use Oeffa Bill System for Jew removal (ignorant?), and later in war he didn’t use concentration camps for re-educating captured British soldiers. The concentration camps were brilliant at re-education

    These leaders had power in their hands and they don’t know what they had. They were conditioned with bad narrative programming, and were not connecting the dots. Their brain space had lack of knowledge that became fatal. They were captured by narrative limitations.

    The legal tender act Feb. 25, 1862 was put forth by Senator Spaulding (supported by Senator Howe), and Lincoln had to be convinced to sign it. It was either sign it or pay New York wall-street banking corporations (many Jews) usury on bank credit they created – a scam of epic proportions. This act created Treasury Greenbacks – a form of money not created by privateering banking corporations. The act thwarted the New York Jews. New York Jews wanted 30% interest paid to them by the Northern taxpayer. This was a confidence game hoax because Jews and their sayanim Goys, didn’t even have enough gold to back up sufficient bank credit to prosecute the war. They were liars then and now.

    In 1863 Lincoln told Congress, on passage of national banking act, “I think it my duty to express my sincere regret that it has been found necessary to authorize so large an additional issue…,” (Meaning Greenbacks were issued by government fiat – and then he apologized to the bankers!). He told them that currency for a country can be furnished by banking associations (read stock owned banking corporations, which often are jew owned).
    This sort of mental confusion cannot be allowed to continue. It has become fatal for whites and Aryans. The money blood of our civilizations is tainted. Fortunately, Xi in China does not suffer from white guilt or confusion, and he knows damn well that Sovereign Yuans can be channeled.
    Xi also has effectively used concentration camps to re-educate Uighurs, thus thwarting the Muslim uprising trap laid by the (((Atlantacists))). As an aside, the “international” Atlantacist was recycling petrodollars into restive Muslim areas of China/Russia to then destabilize them. Both Russia and China have subsequently been able to resist their Jew traps, Russia in Chechnya and China in the Uighur regions.

    Xi has also effectively deployed sea power in south China sea. This is done with underground submarine bases (under Chinese man-made islands). Additionally, thousands of merchant vessels are now registered and organized as part of PLA Navy.

    China is now post communist and industrial capitalist, and is running the American System of Economy. This system was being recapitulated by Lincoln, and was successfully deployed by Hitler. Aryans invented it in the Colonies, and unfortunately our internal parasite has thwarted it at very turn.

  4. When Lincoln served his sole term in Congress in the late 1840s, the young lawyer from Illinois became close friends with Horace Greeley, a fellow Whig who served briefly alongside him. Greeley was better known as the founder of the New York Tribune, the newspaper largely responsible for transmitting the ideals and ideas that formed the Republican Party in 1854.

    ___________-

    Hjalmar Schacht’s full name was Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht. His father, the naturalized American citizen, Horace Greeley, had returned to Germany as a newspaper editor. The Schacht family lived in the Ditmarschen area between the Elbe and Eider rivers, a land of free farmers. Schacht did his doctorate on the English mercantilists. Norbert Muhlen, “Schacht – Hitler’s Magician” stated that Schacht was aware of the quantity theory of money (he was onto the Jews gold game).

    A lot of people spin up tall tales about Schacht that don’t stand up to facts. Because he helped start up the BIS, he was part of the international cabal of private banksters, etc. Or, that he was an jew agent undermining Germany, etc.

    The BIS was a way to keep Germany out of war, to pay debts. The international creditor Jew was desperate to start continuous wars against Germany, as they feared the productivity of Germany and Germans – and god forbid if Germany ever figured out sovereign money.

    Schacht did just that in order to tame the hyperinflation, with Rentenmarks. Schacht then proceeded to pound Jewish (and other) bear raiders (people like Soros who do currency shorts), against the wall. In order to tame the Hyperinflation, many parasites lost their bets against Germany, all thanks to Schacht.

    After Zion declared war in 1933, Germany became even more isolated from the “international rules based order.” Schacht then worked out how to get raw materials in exchange for German high value manufactured goods. He invented a trading bank scheme, which is too complicated to go into here. But, it allowed Germany to escape the “London” finance class, and for Germany to trade outside of the international system. Then Schacht went further and brought the “Free-dumb” stock market under control, so Germany could acquire substitution items it needed for self protection.

    Schacht also secretly created Mefobills, patterned on Reinhardts Oeffabills. This is how Germany funded re-armament. People that claim the FED or some sort of international privateering cabal funded Germany simply don’t know what they are talking about. A very large economy that is already in international debts, does not accelerate the way Germany did, with more international debts. Germany took off with their own money, and it was due to the bill system. The bill system was nearly identical to the bill system American Colonials used. The revolutionary war was because the Bank of England made Colonial script and bills of credit illegal, and this then caused a 8 year long depression.

    Like so many things in life, we are treated as mushrooms. Shit narratives are poured on our heads, and we are kept in the dark. Schacht was released at the Nuremberg show trials, ergo he is a jew, etc. They released him because he was fired by Hitler in 38 and there was no way to spin him as being involved in the war effort. But, the Jews did want to kill Schacht.

    The Bills worked like this: 1) A front corporation is stood up. Metallurgische Forschungsgesellschaft (Metallurgical Research Corporation).
    Metal Research

    LoL.

    Germany had no metal money, no gold in 33, it had all been drained away in debt payments. Metal research is a back handed slap at the Jews who want to fellate gold bars. The protocols say how much “gold” has benefited them, and of course it did as Jews controlled the East/West – Silver/Gold caravan trade routes for thousands of years.

    The front company then types up a bill, and it looks like a check. It has three parties. 1) The front company that types it up. 2) The receiving Industry that accepts it. 3) And finally, the Industry partner (an arms manufacturer) who will in future, turn the bill into a bank in order to receive Reichsmarks.

    So, it looks like a check but is really credit to be paid in the future. On the bill the three parties are listed. The bill channels toward arms production.

    Where does the bank get the Reichsmarks to pay in step 3 above?

    The private bank is allowed to hold the mefobill as it accrued interest. Eventually the bank will want to turn it in, and at that time, the Reichsbank pays the private bank.

    In terms of double entry ledgers the Reichsbank brings in the bill on one side of the ledger, and creates new Reichsmarks on the other side, so the Reichsbank is balanced.

    This was all purely internal sovereign debt creation. The Western creditors had their knives out and wanted to feast on Germany. They had to come up with some sort of secret way to re-arm and not alarm the Atlanatacist/Jew powers.

    Schact and Hitler had disagreements in 38, and so Schacht was fired. Schacht was worried about a second inflation due to all the Mefobills stacking up in the private banks collecting interest. If they were all redeemed (discounted) at once, and then the private bankers spent the Reichsmarks, there would be too much new money per unit time entering the economy.

    There were ways to deal with that too, but Hitler undoubtedly was under pressure, especially by the idiot in Poland.

    Note that the bill was non usurious. We can’t have that now can we? When the goods are manufactured (military goods in this case), only then can the bill be discounted (turned in for Reichsmarks). The bank was allowed to collect interest, so the interest fluxed outward from Reichsbank and eventually into the economy. This is positive interest, where the general public is not being drained.

    Germany must die, they touched the third rail.

    • Mostly jews, but a few German libtards, too.

      Klaus Fuchs, the nuclear physicist who stole atomic secrets for Stalin, was a pure Gman and the son of a Lutheran minister…. Angela Merkel — same thing exactly…

      Two of the three leftist types Kyle Rittenhouse was forced to shoot were of pure German descent (the other being a homo jew and pedophile, whom he killed).
