What was Stalin's beef with Trotsky? That he was of Jewish descent?
There was one school of thought about Germany's attack on Russia: "Let the monsters (i.e., Stalin and Hitler) devour each other."
The decision was made that Hitler was completely insane, but that you could work with "Uncle Joe."
Not sure... I think jews are not much into self preservation. Socialism invented the hate of the nomadic gypsies and jews who avoided becoming sedentarian serfs at the boot of government for the most part...
The Nazis did not invent anything, it is the socialists who invented the incentive to distrust and persecute jews. However, even coming out of Egypt jews refused to apply rules that were no per say of God, but which were mimicking those of their philistine enemies. It was the Philistines who killed all the men once they won battles, and it was meant to impose their memory, that God told jews to that in the same guist of their own national survival and that they refused will tell you all you need if you want to figure that it was not personal between Stalin and Trotzky. Stalin did what God would have told the jewish Trotzky to do but which the latter refused to do because rebel against God.
