ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: MrRodgers ORIGINAL: thompsonx Before Stalin, it was the Jews but after 1928, then came Stalin and things changed. Are you trying to tell me that marx did not say that religion was the opiat of the masses? Please do not try to conflate ethnicity with religion. Lenin the defacto leader at the time of the revolution, was also 1/4 Jewish whose maternal grandfather, Israel (Alexander) Blank, was a Ukrainian Jew who was later baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church . So in the leaders of revolution and the institutions that followed...were mostly Jews. Well-informed observers, both inside and outside of Russia, took note at the time of the crucial Jewish role in Bolshevism. Winston Churchill, for one, warned in an article published in the February 8, 1920, issue of the London Illustrated Sunday Herald that Bolshevism is a "worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality." The eminent British political leader and historian went on to write: There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. It is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. Thus Tchitcherin, a pure Russian, is eclipsed by his nominal subordinate, Litvinoff, and the influence of Russians like Bukharin or Lunacharski cannot be compared with the power of Trotsky, or of Zinovieff, the Dictator of the Red Citadel (Petrograd), or of Krassin or Radek -- all Jews. In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed the principal, part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commissions for Combatting Counter-Revolution [the Cheka] has been taken by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses. David R. Francis, United States ambassador in Russia, warned in a January 1918 dispatch to Washington: "The Bolshevik leaders here, most of whom are Jews and 90 percent of whom are returned exiles, care little for Russia or any other country but are internationalists and they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution." The Netherlands' ambassador in Russia, Oudendyke, made much the same point a few months later: "Unless Bolshevism is nipped in the bud immediately, it is bound to spread in one form or another over Europe and the whole world as it is organized and worked by Jews who have no nationality, and whose one object is to destroy for their own ends the existing order of things." The goals of bolshivism ae pretty clear so I fail to see the relevance of your opinion that simply reiterates what is well known ie: bolshivism (socialism leading to commmunism) was seen as a replacement for the priviledge of the aristocracy. "The Bolshevik Revolution, "declared a leading American Jewish community paper in 1920," was largely the product of Jewish thinking, Jewish discontent, Jewish effort to reconstruct." Not sure what you are trying to prove? Is it that jews were educated enough to see the difference between someone's imaginary friend sanctifying them to lead vs. merit being the qualifier? In the struggle for power that followed Lenin's death in 1924, Stalin emerged victorious over his rivals, eventually succeeding in putting to death nearly every one of the most prominent early Bolsheviks leaders - inclu Wasn't he a catholic??? who, like jews and protestants,became an athiest like all the rest of the bolshiviks? ding Trotsky, Zinoviev, Radek, and Kamenev. With the passage of time, and particularly after 1928, the Jewish role in the top leadership of the Soviet state and its Communist party diminished markedly. My point was that religion was removed from the precipts of government. Well what I have is not my opinion, it is the opinion of those to which I referred and by virtue of their positions...should be obviously convincing. A few at least, on this board have asked how it was that Jews were involved. I think the above is pretty self-explanatory. Insofar as Churchill and the diplomats were concerned, it was not just a Jewish takeover as it were and given that they were not the commanding participants, there was more afoot than just overthrowing Czarist Russia. In their minds, there was an even a larger goal and much more than just simply the 'replacement' of the 'privileged' aristocracy. Even the Jewish community at least for one such American Jewish publication, the Bolshevik revolution was not only Jewish thinking and inspired by Jewish discontent, but also from a desire to reconstruct society which was in the minds of the diplomats, destined to be...a world-wide revolution. Seems fairly certain that for these Jews, religion wasn't to play a role at all but was much more a political ideal.
