>Bakunin on Marx and Rothschild
>“Himself a Jew, Marx has around him, in London and France, but especially in Germany, a multitude of more or less clever, intriguing, mobile, speculating Jews, such as Jews are every where: commercial or banking agents, writers, politicians, correspondents for newspapers of all shades, with one foot in the bank, the other in the socialist movement, and with their behinds sitting on the German daily press — they have taken possession of all the newspapers — and you can imagine what kind of sickening literature they produce. Now, this entire Jewish world, which forms a single profiteering sect, a people of blooksuckers, a single gluttonnous parasite, closely and intimately united not only across national borders but across all differences of political opinion — this Jewish world today stands for the most part at the disposal of Marx and at the same time at the disposal of Rothschild. I am certain that Rothschild for his part greatly values the merits of Marx, and that Marx for his part feels instinctive attraction and great respect for Rothschild.

>This may seem strange. What can there be in common between Communism and the large banks? Oh! The Communism of Marx seeks enormous centralization in the state, and where such exists, there must inevitably be a central state bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, which. speculates on the work of the people, will always find a way to prevail ....”

So basically the problem is that he's using being a Great as a façade, in order to perpetuate himself above the Rest, and that façade is only done so in imitation, in an imitation that lacks understandment of what made the imitated what they are, and is only concerned by the opinions of others and not the object of imitation, and so becomes typified, i.e. presents himself as shallow, like a fossilized ethos, which is passed around not as wealth but as currency, abstracted and stripped of all detail--that he is, in a word, a "selfish meme", reduplicating itself and only itself like a virus?

Is that sort of it?
