List of arguments against 'Jewish Bolshevism' conspiracy theorists.

[The Man]

I'm writing an essay for school, and I wanted people to list some examples about disproving the "Jewish Conspiracy of Communism".

1. First propaganda of 'Jewish Bolshevism' originated by books/propaganda published by the Czarist Government.

For example:

List more arguments please, against these National Socialist idiots.

You had to do an essay on Jewish Bolshevism? :lol:

I will find some examples

The Bolsheviks were largely atheist. Jewish only by ethnicity, and doesn't really mean anything.

There is no evidence that Jews were involved in the Bolshevik Revolution because they were Jewish. There may have been a higher proportion of Jews involved, but given Tsarist treatment of Jews, what else would be expected?

Jews were also blamed for Indian Nationalism (wtf), I think that pretty much sums up the argument of Jews being used as a scapegoat for virtually every single revolution/revolutionary idea of any kind, it wouldn't surprise me if they were at some point blamed for the rise of National Socialism.

This is the important point. Radical workers' movements, including communist and anarchist movements, are often especially peopled by relatively oppressed workers who have some particular stake in overthrowing the present regime. In Eastern Europe (and to a lesser degree North America), this often included Jews; in Canada, (and some parts of the northern US) this often involved Finns or Ukrainians; in the United States, this has often involved black workers and, more recently, Latin American workers.

Anti-semitism has been a particularly potent weapon against communism, and the working class in general, because of the odd historical accident that Jews have both, albeit to an extent at different points in history, been overrepresented both as finance capitalists and as especially oppressed workers and peasants. The fact that there have always of course been very few Jewish finance capitalists (finance capitalists being a small community whatever its composition), who have never supported the communist movement, and that there have historically been very many Jewish workers and peasants, often very poor and often pro-communist, doesn't matter to fascists and liars. It makes for good propaganda whether or not it's bullshit.

Oppressed ethnicities usually are attracted to Socialism, which can also be an explanation for the Black panther party and the Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iran. There isn't a general conspiracy about it.

André Gerrits has an entire book on this topic that you might want to check out entitled The Myth of Jewish Communism.

[Kiev Communard]

The financial support of the Jewish great bourgeoisie in former Russian Empire to the armies of Denikin and Petlyura (despite the latter's pogromist activities) is in itself enough to disprove the myth that the Russian Jews somehow "hatched" or uniformly supported the Revolution, although this evidence won't be taken by the right-wing idiots who believe that the 1929 Wall Street financial crash and the October Revolution were planned by the same group of Jewish millionaires :laugh:.
