"It serves no purpose to compare people of the 1940's to people of today"

You claimed the Lithuanian diaspora would not like Foxy's views. I was pointing out that based on their history, they likely approved of Foxy's views. Cultural attitudes like this take many generations to change, not one or two.

I have no idea what your rave about a "thousand year old gripe" was about.

AC,

I'll wager that you can find thousands of like-minded folk who spout this rubbish on the WWW. It doesn't make it so because they are all yelling in an echo chamber, shouting the same falsehoods so often they think it becomes the truth.

There were Jewish Bolsheviks. Of course there were also Jewish Mensheviks but these conspiracy theorists rapidly ignore that. When you look at the data behind these claims, it doesn't exist beyond that ie there were some Jews involved, some of them had wealth, therefore they controlled and orchestrated the whole thing. That's the level of 'thinking' for want of a better word.

Just because the rooster crows at sunrise, doesn't mean the rooster caused the sun to rise.

The notion of a "Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy" is a myth rooted in antisemitic propaganda, often used to vilify Jewish people by associating them with communism and attributing to them a nefarious, global plot to subvert nations. Here are several arguments and historical facts that debunk this conspiracy theory:

1. Diversity of Bolshevik Leadership:
The leadership of the Bolshevik party was not predominantly Jewish. While there were Jewish members, including notable figures like Leon Trotsky, the majority of key figures were not Jewish. Lenin (Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov) was of Russian and Kalmyk ancestry, Joseph Stalin was Georgian, and others like Felix Dzerzhinsky were Polish. The ethnic composition of the Bolshevik leadership was diverse, reflecting the multinational character of the Russian Empire.

2. Misinterpretation of Statistics:
Antisemitic propaganda often cites the disproportionate number of Jews in the early Soviet government as evidence of a conspiracy. However, this misrepresents the situation. Jews, facing discrimination and oppression in Tsarist Russia, were more urbanized than the general population, meaning they were closer to the revolutionary action

3. Anti-Jewish Policies in the USSR:
The Soviet Union, under Stalin, eventually enacted anti-Semitic policies. The purges in the 1930s targeted many Jewish Bolsheviks alongside others directly contradicting the idea of a Jewish-controlled Bolshevik state.

4. Historical Context of Propaganda:
The myth was significantly propagated by the Nazis during WWII to justify the persecution of Jews. This was a deliberate manipulation of facts to serve an ideological agenda rather than an accurate historical account.

5. Scholarly Consensus:
Modern historians overwhelmingly reject the conspiracy theory. They argue that while some Jews were indeed involved in the Bolshevik movement, just as members of many ethnic groups were, this involvement was not indicative of a secret, unified Jewish political agenda. The narrative of a Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy is seen as a form of scapegoating which has no foundation in credible, scholarly research.
In essence, the Jewish-Bolshevik conspiracy theory is a fabrication, built on a foundation of prejudice rather than historical accuracy, which has been debunked by both historical evidence and scholarly consensus.

"thousand year old gripe"
maze,
Well, for how long then has that nonsense in or about Palestine & Israel been going on ?

Lies about Jews are invented by anti-Semites like Foxy and Armchair Critic because they need a reason to back up their irrational hatred and fear of Jews. Or, should I say they trawl the internet for the beliefs of other Jew-haters because they - OLO's very own anti-Semites - don't have the imagination to invent their own lies. Their posts are usually accompanied by references to other nutjobs.

This thread has exposed its instigator to ridicule, proved that people using second hand information don't even read their own chosen references, and cemented forever the wild thoughts of Foxy and Armchair Critic in our minds.

I suppose they can be said to be doing us the service of revealing some of the lunacy out there.
