Reply #17: Ah yes. They thought all Jews were Communists and all Communists were Jews [View All]

It couldn't possibly be that working-class gentiles could decide on their own to shake off the shackles of capitalism (just as Southern politicians in the U.S. fifty years earlier insisted that if it hadn't been for Yankee abolitionists the slaves would've been happily singin' and dancin' in the cotton fields forever as the white God intended :sarcasm: and just as fifty years later the descendants of those same Southerners and their Northern enablers insisted that if it weren't for "Outside agitators", no black people would ever have had a problem with Jim Crow, because they all "knew their place" :sarcasm: , and that if it weren't for those pinkos from Berkeley and that guy named Chavez who had been trained by Saul Alinsky none of them wetback farmworkers would ever have wanted a union or any such Commie nonesense. :sarcasm: )

Also, Bolshevism aside, most of the "great men of Europe" in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries held views on Jews in general that are only held openly today by white supremacist extremists and "Identity Christians". Anyone politician expressing such views in public today would immediately see her or his career come to an end.
