In several ways he is correct, but it’s too simple a glance at history. Because of a tirade, he will simply be dismissed as a kook.

Yes, Jews were the backbone of the Communist movement in Russia.
Yes, Jew made up the vast majority of commissars and political murders for the Reds.
Yes, the slaughter of almost one million Ethnic Germans in the Polish wars of 1920-23 by the Jewish-led Reds was a large factor in the Jewish hatred in Germany.

But, the Jews were also the most oppressed, abused, and murdered ethnic group under the Tsars, (and the rest of Europe, for that matter.)

That they gravitated enmass to the “Eat-The-Rich” rhetoric of the Communists really isn’t surprising. (look at blacks and Democrats today, for example.)

Got a plague? Blame the Jews.
Drought? Blame the Jews.
Economic downturn? Blame the Jews, etc,etc, and.
Any kind of civil unrest? Blame the jews....

Sorry, but this is an exaggeration

Yes, Jews were the backbone of the Communist movement in Russia.
Yes, Jew made up the vast majority of commissars and political murders for the Reds.
Yes, the slaughter of almost one million Ethnic Germans in the Polish wars of 1920-23 by the Jewish-led Reds was a large factor in the Jewish hatred in Germany.

1. they were not the backbone. A significant part of the back-bone, but not THE back-bone

2. They did not make the vast majority -- they did make the largest number though and above their % of the population

3. 1 million ethnic Germans slaughtered in the Polish wars? Really? i haven't read that -- but I may be wrong. Can you explain further?

Your statements are a bit strong.

Yes, there were a lot of Jews in the Communist Party in Russia. The question is “why”?

Well, there are two primary reasons:

1. The Communist told a good lie about treating all people equally. This was a very powerful Siren’s call to a peoples that was oppressed regularly and viciously like the Jews in Russia.

2. The opposition of the time were extreme Russian Nationalists like the Black Hundreds — “Russia for Russians” was their cry — and they made Hitler look like an amateur in their anti-Semitism. So, of course, Jews took shelter in the Communist Party. The Communist Party at the time looked like the lesser of the evils.

Of course, what happened was ultimately a combination of the Russian Nationalism with Communism, much as Hitler joined socialism with nationalism -— resulting in mass deportations of the Russian Jewish populations to Sibera and death camps which out-did the Germans.

No, they didn't. Communism was an atheist cult, dedicated to the destruction of Judaism and Jewishness from the time of Marx onwards. Judaism was banned in the Soviet union. There Soviets set up the Yevsektsiya (Jewish Section" dedicated to the "destruction of traditional Jewish life, the Zionist movement, and Hebrew culture". Even this was not enough for the Jew hater Stalin, who liquidated these apostate persecuters of Jews. Apostate former Jews were by no means the backboke the Bolsheviks or the vast majority of commissars and political murders for the Reds.

Antisemites made this claim to protect the German High Command who installed the Bolsheviks and who used antisemitism to fight communism, crippling the anticommunist movement.
