Emile,the Jews were the driving force behind the Communist Russian Revolution of l917. as Jews , motivated by religion or religious consciousness, or whether they were acting as part of a group rebelling against an intolerable government. I suspect the latter, for a number of reasons. First, even the Winston Churchill piece you quote characterizes these leaders as "atheistic Jews", meaning that they may have been racially Jewish, as defined by the law of the time, but they were ideologically driven less by Judaism than by their adopted religion of socialism. It should be noted that with the information and experience available at that time, socialism appeared to many to be a viable alternative to crumbling feudalism. We know better now, but it is unrealistic to expect hindsight to have enlightened the people of that time.
