Today the Chabad-Lubavitch movement champions far-right religious zealotry under a messianic banner. But a century ago, left-fascists were looking to unite with the far-right.
In 1923, Marxist-Communist , Ruth Fischer appealed to a group of Nazi students, proclaiming that "Those who call for a struggle against Jewish capital are already, gentlemen, class strugglers, even if they don’t know it. You are against Jewish capital and want to fight the speculators. Very good. Throw down the Jewish capitalists, hang them from the lamp-post, stamp on them. But, gentlemen, what is your position with respect to the big capitalists, the Stinneses and Klöckners?"
