In ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> Marx's poems, "Human Pride" (published in "World<br />

Revolution" <strong>by</strong> Nesta Webster, p. 167), he writes <strong>the</strong> following:<br />

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet<br />

Full in <strong>the</strong> face <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world,<br />

And see <strong>the</strong> collapse <strong>of</strong> this pygmy giant<br />

Whose fall will not stifle my ardour.<br />

Then I will be able to walk triumphantly<br />

Like a god, through <strong>the</strong> ruins <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir kingdom.<br />

Every word <strong>of</strong> mine is fire and action.<br />

My breast is equal to that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Creator.<br />

The spirit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se poems was also evident in his "Communist Mani-<br />

festo" and his later speeches. On April 14th, 1856, he said: "History is <strong>the</strong><br />

judge, <strong>the</strong> proletariat its executioner." (Paul Johnson, "The Intellectuals",<br />

Stockholm, 1989, p. 74.)<br />

Marx found great pleasure in talking about terror, about houses marked<br />

with red crosses indicating that <strong>the</strong> inhabitants were to be killed.<br />

Moses Hess - <strong>the</strong> Teacher <strong>of</strong> Marx and Engels<br />

Karl Marx's worship <strong>of</strong> violence was streng<strong>the</strong>ned <strong>by</strong> a Frankist commu-<br />

nist whom he met in 1841, when he was 23 years old. This man was called<br />

Moritz Moses Hess. Moses Hess was born on <strong>the</strong> 21st <strong>of</strong> June 1812 in<br />

Bonn, <strong>the</strong> son <strong>of</strong> a wealthy Jewish industrialist. He died on <strong>the</strong> 6th <strong>of</strong><br />

April 1875 in Paris and is buried in Israel. It can be mentioned that he<br />

founded <strong>the</strong> German Social Democratic Party. In "Judisches Lexikon"<br />

(Berlin, 1928, pp. 1577-78) he is called a communist rabbi and <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r<br />

<strong>of</strong> modern Socialism.<br />

In 1841, he founded <strong>the</strong> newspaper Rheinische Zeitung and one year<br />

later he made <strong>the</strong> 24 year-old Marx its editor. Theodor Zlocist published<br />

an interesting book about him in 1921, "Moses Hess, der Vorkampfer des<br />

Sozialismus und Zionismus".<br />

Part <strong>of</strong> Moses Hess' terrifying world <strong>of</strong> ideas is disclosed in his book<br />

"Rome and Jerusalem".<br />
