Why were the leaders of the 1919 communist "spartacist" uprising in Germany all Jewish?

Trying to deny widespread religious and increasingly racial antisemitism in Europe in the 19th century is laughable.

Yes, it wasn't nearly as bad in Germany as in other places, but that doesn't mean it wasn't existent and that, more importantly, German Jews weren't aware of the level of brutality it had already reached in places like Russia.

>Not being a Commie makes you /pol/

Woah

He is not wrong Jews were overrepresented in most high skill well paid professions. They were also overrepresented among industrialists intellectuals academics etc

Kinda like modern day Murica

But the Soviet Union was the most religious-persecutory state in history that killed thousands of orthodox Christian priests on the basis of their religion.

But Germany and Austria were the most egalitarian European countries to Jews.

And your explanation doesn't explain why a "popular" movement was dominated entirely by Jews.

Communism as a political theory. yes. As it has actually been practiced, of course not.

Which of these two do you think was more motivating to revolutionaries prior, during and directly after world war I given that communism hadn't been tried as a national project yet?

>Karl Liebknecht
>Julian Marchlewski
>Ernst Meyer
>Franz Mehring
>Wilhelm Pieck
>Clara Zetkin
Some quick searches suggest that none of these were Jews.

Jews were doing fine in Germany, the muh poor suffering stetl Jews which explains their interest in communism in Russia really shouldn't apply to the Jews of Germany.

Jews also happen to be fabulously well off in the USA but walk into any college campus socialist club and the same black kinky hair and Semitic features will greet you every time.

Half of these people aren't Jewish.

Muslims say the exact same excuse, that sharia law and caliphate is actually wonderful, it's just that ISIS, al-qaeda, al-nusra, ahrar al-sham, the Taliban, the Muslim brotherhood, boko haram, haven't done it properly yet.

"Communism works in theory but not in practice" is a leftist meme.

It doesn't work in theory either.

Sources:
- Thinking about the ramifications of a Communist society in the real world for more than five minutes
- The literally millions of people who opposed Communism and fought against it before a Communist state had ever existed, and therefore had no real world example.

>Poles
>Lithuanians

Engaged in their national projects. Why would an international movement inspire people who were more interested in nationalist ambitions?

>Danes

Do you really think there was widespread discrimination against the Danes in the German Empire?

They were still mostly excluded from the society. Anti-Semitism and German nationalism was common in Germany.

>reading comprehension

Where did I say that as a political theory communism was any good or likely to result in the ideological goals it expounds? Pointing to religious and ethnic repression in future communist states is irrelevant to the mindset of a 1919 communist revolutionary in Germany.

Except I pointed to theory

Hey moron, we're not talking about whether communism is good or bad. We're talking about why it would have appealed to people facing religious and ethnic discrimination.

I'm a libertarian, not a communist. I think communism is moronic (especially with examples of it failing time and time again), but that isn't actually relevant to any of the points I have made.

You don't know or understand the historical context.

>Jews
>ethnic group

making unrelated statements that are constantly spewed on /pol/ makes you /pol/
is it that hard to understand?

>Karl Liebknecht
>Jewish
You have to go back.
