‘Socialist’ most evokes white Europeans in the eyes of most every normal, rational adult.
“‘Socialist’ most evokes white Europeans in the eyes of most every normal, rational adult.”
There was a time when it evoked “Jew” in many people’s eyes, partly because of the Nazis, who were socialists themselves anyway. Historians I’ve read conclude that within the Russian Jewish community during the Bolshevik revolution (or coup, to be more precise) there was a higher statistical propensity for communism than in other racial groups. However, there was nothing near a Jewish majority in the rank and file or leadership of the communist movement. So there’s that.
