Dear Mr. Vidrine:

That was an interesting piece of work you posted. I'm not interested in hosting a debate with you but have this observation.

Almost 100% of the victims of this Communist Holocaust were Christians. The Bosheviks targeted the Christian people and leaders of Russian Boshevism in Russia was a 100% Jewish movement that grabed control of the Russian Gov. in l917.

Please review your "facts". The Bolsheviks (interesting spelling you were using) were no more 100% Jewish than cheese food is 100% cheese.

Here is some research by a man named Green that also disputes your viewpoint.

The debate could go on and on but why bother..... you're right and everyone else is wrong.

an essay by Richard J. Green
Web Version 1.2.

Holocaust deniers and Nazi-apologists often make some very revealing claims regarding Jews, Bolshevism, and Stalinism. They often claim that Bolshevism was a Jewish movement that resulted in mass murder of Christians on a scale much larger than the Final Solution. The implication is that even though the Holocaust did not happen, the Jews deserved it and/or the fact that Stalinist committed mass murder somehow diminishes the fact that the Nazis and their accomplices committed mass murder. Even if the Holocaust-deniers and Nazi-apologists had their facts straight, one would have to wonder at their reasoning. How does the supposed fact that some Jews committed mass murder justify mass murder of Jews? Notwithstanding, this absurd and inhumane implication we must, as usual call into question the supposed facts.

Was Bolshevism a Jewish movement?

In a post to the Usenet group alt.revisionism, Jacob Minsky 4 demonstrates in no uncertain terms the absurdity of such a position. First, he quotes Pipes:

The census of 1922 showed that only 959 Jewish members joined before 1917. 5

Minsky then poses the following question to his Nazi-apologist interlocutor: Why was the Jewish Labor Bund one of only two political parties (the other one was the small and heavily Jewish PSR, a democratic socialist party) to unequivocally condemn in the Congress of Deputies the Bolshevik seizure of power? 6

The typical response of the antisemite is to pick out a few prominent Bolsheviks and claim without evidence that they were Jewish. That Trotsky was a Jew is true, but antisemites forget to note that he was one of the early and strongest critics of Stalin and that this criticism cost him his life. Perhaps, a few of the fewer than 1000 Jews who were early members of the Party were indeed in leadership positions, but as Aristotle assures us, "One swallow does not a summer make."
