In my world history textbook, there is a unit on post-WW2 Europe. It starts talking about the bad things that Stalin did after World War 2, and it says this: >He purged thousands of returning soldiers and ordinary civilians in 1945 and 1946, and he revived the terrible forced-labor camps of the 1930's. Culture and art were purged of Western influences, Orthodox Christianity again came under attack, and Soviet Jews were accused of being pro-Western and anti-socialist. >Soviet Jews were accused of being pro-Western and anti-socialist.
It makes this claim, yet it does not back it up with anything. Is it trying to stretch certain problems Stalin had with specific people to mean all of the Soviet Jews, or is this just essentially the ad hitlerum argument as to why Stalin was bad, because he hated Jews.
Genuinely interested to see specifics of his antisemitism or any Soviet antisemitism.
>It makes this claim, yet it does not back it up with anything. It's a fucking textbook, not a scientific publication.
>Is it trying to stretch certain problems Stalin had with specific people to mean all of the Soviet Jews There's no need to stretch anything, Soviets were somewhat OK with Jews only through Lenin's rule. Stalin had issues with Jews both on personal level (his kids married Jews and he didn't like it), political level (Trotski, Jagoda, Jezhov...) and geopolitical level, once Israel decided to join the West side. Soviets also suppressed awareness of Holocaust and claimed Jews to be rootless cosmopolitans disloyal to socialist cause.

>Soviets also suppressed awareness of Holocaust then why did they fabricate it?
Nolan Hughes
To please the ponies with rainbow coloured pizza.

Antisemitism was against the law in the Soviet Union. Breaking this law would result in being sent to the gulags or execution.
Alexander Cooper
>Orthodox Christianity again came under attack >Soviet Jews were accused Jesuits, Stalin was raised Catholic by a drunkard father so might have been psychopath. Some even claim Stalin himself was a Jesuit along with Rasputin. Just ask Cui Bono? The world wars don;t look much different than the 1000 years of Papal feudal wars previous, they just dragged in more countries than usual including the new world.
Jace Evans
If this was true, there would be nobody left to guard to gulags.
Alexander Diaz
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

There's an argument to be made that the hungarian revolt of 1956 was one big giant pogrom
one of the weaknesses of the soviet regime was that it was transparent as fuck. everybody started to notice that all of the commissars and upper echelons of goverment were all jews
they also didn't forget about bela kun, they lynched his jew ass in the 30s
Kayden Torres
No, that's literally Soviet propaganda.
Justin James
Sounds like an empty statement, considering, there were still anti-religious laws, under which Soviet gov. suppresed Jews. Not to mention you could actually link us to the actual law on a credible site or mention who was supposed to be charged and executed for antisemitism
>There's an argument to be made that the hungarian revolt of 1956 was one big giant pogrom Wrong
>one of the weaknesses of the soviet regime was that it was transparent as fuck. everybody started to notice that all of the commissars and upper echelons of goverment were all jews Wrong
>they also didn't forget about bela kun, they lynched his jew ass in the 30s I don't think the information on how and why Soviets killed him are public tbqh.
Hudson Mitchell
guess how I know you're a jew
Eli Thompson
>There's an argument to be made that the hungarian revolt of 1956 was one big giant pogrom no there's not
Jaxon Ramirez
Why?
Tyler Kelly
By my scrotum, characteristic for Jewish folk?
Jayden Mitchell
because of absence of any argument that it was a pogrom
I don't have to prove why putting down the Hungarian revolution WASN'T anti-semetic. You have to prove why it was, because inherently and by default it isn't
Grayson Wilson
Wait ... could that mean ... Holocaust-Revisionists BTFO?

>Some even claim Stalin himself was a Jesuit along with Rasputin. Just ask Cui Bono? Calm down there, Cicero. >The world wars don't look much different than the 1000 years of Papal feudal wars previous Yes they do.
>be Catholic church >wage war with the Muslim world to steal technology >use technology to establish the spiritual rule of the Catholic church over the European monarch states which I already had >lose control over Europe because of the Jews financing Protestant movements and rebel states >have loads of church property in those states looted >wage war for 400 years trying to get it all back >finally trick the protestant scum into fighting each other in two world wars >they kill each other >establish secret Jesuit one world government >finally have total control of the world >nothing left to destroy >there's always myself >Vatican II - Return of the Freemasons Look at me. I am the Protestant now.
Cameron Long
Oh look sovietboo tankie neckbeards are larping as anti semites again
>The majority of Jews were "not directly affected by the Great Terror, and of those who were, most suffered as members of the political elite."[19] Between 1937 and 1938, an estimated 1 percent of all Jews in the Soviet Union were arrested for political crimes in contrast to 16 percent of all Poles and 30 percent of all Latvians.[20]

Why was Antisemitism even a thing in a communist government where everyone is equal?
Did the jews do something in Russia during the communist era?
Ian King
Everyone was economically equal. Ukrainians and Kazakhs were fucked hard.
Josiah Richardson
don't know how accurate this is but i saw someone posted this once en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_(1936_film) >In early 1953 the verses from the lullaby, sung in Yiddish (that where performed by Solomon Mikhoels) were removed. After Stalin's death the verses were returned.
Carson Sanders
thats why you call them rootless cosmopolitans instead
Carson Nelson
Read Everything Flows by Vasily Grossman
Jordan Murphy
Would you please provide a source on that quote?
Jackson Smith
Metapedia, the only site on the internet, not controlled by evil Jews likr yourself.
Much better than anything else!
Daniel Stewart
Okay, now that... That's false flagging. Or trolling, Or both
Isaac Ortiz
Why don't you give what the rate of arrest of Russians was as well as just the Poles and Latvians? Would not be the better comparison?
