PS. Is there a Jewish Freeper list? We need one.
Jews were persecuted in the Soviet Union for the same reason they were in Nazi Germany: they were successful in business. But the Soviets had a far greater hatred for Entrepeneurism than the Nazis. And they disguised their mistreatment of them in more creative ways. Instead of just killing them, they “deported” them. Do you know what that really means? Putting them in buses disguised as cargo vehicles and dumping them into the most inhospitable regions of Siberia that could be found, by orders of Lenin and later Stalin. Stalin used slightly more direct means of massacre, but the result was just the same. Death by starvation, the elements, sometimes by outright torture of whole towns. The forced collectivism used any means necessary to collect and instead of redistribute according to true communist dogma, sell for profit on the international market. Jews suffered no worse than Christians, but unlike Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union was very successful at hiding its crimes against humanity. Even to this day communists are not regarded with the same level of evil as Nazis.
The Soviets would have been far less successful against the rebellions if they had not already disarmed the public, by the way. Another lesson liberals refuse to learn. The army was armed to the teeth, the poor with pitch forks, at best.
Not really true. Guy apparently can't tell the difference between bad and really, really bad. Between oppression and extermination.
The commies were plenty efficient when really focused on killing a particular group. They killed a much larger number of people in total, but a much smaller number of Jews than the Nazis, which indicates not inefficiency on their part, but rather a much lesser degree of intention to kill Jews, as such. Most Jews in USSR were killed not because they were Jews but because they were enemies of the People for some other reason.
It also should be pointed out that Jews formed a very disproportionate percentage of those who most aggressively supported Communism and helped bring it to power and keep it there.
What many people don’t realize is that much of the Soviet leadership was also Jewish. These can be described as progressives. Just as today, many progressive Jews are communist sympathizers and support the destruction of Israel.
The communists persecuted Judaism and Jews in every country they held power.
