Bolshevism and 'Judeo-Bolshevism'

The speaker blames Jews for the Russian Communist Revolution and its millions of deaths. Some early Communist leaders had Jewish parents, but they had rejected Judaism, and the Communist government later shut down synagogues. Stalin, who wasn't Jewish, led the worst killings. Tens of thousands of Jews were also murdered during that period. The Nazis used the "Jews are Communists" story as propaganda.

The opponent may point to revolutionary leaders of Jewish background and blame Jews collectively for communist violence.

Some Bolshevik figures had Jewish parents; the regime suppressed Jewish religious life, and Stalin—who was not Jewish—led the USSR through mass repression.

An individual's ancestry is not proof of a group's responsibility. 'Judeo-Bolshevism' was a Nazi propaganda trope used to portray Jews as a collective enemy.
