    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Bolshevism

    Jewish Bolshevism, also Judeo–Bolshevism, is an antisemitic and anti-communist conspiracy theory that claims that the Russian Revolution of 1917 was a Jewish plot and that Jews controlled the Soviet Union and international communist movements, often in furtherance of a plan to destroy Western civilization. It was one of the main Nazi beliefs that served as an ideological justification for the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Holocaust.

    Works propagating the canard

    The Octopus

    The Octopus is a 256-page book self-published in 1940 by Elizabeth Dilling under the pseudonym “Rev. Frank Woodruff Johnson”. In it, she describes her theories of Jewish Bolshevism.

    And the image of Propaganda you show there has the UDSSR, US, England and China in its arms. The whole tentacle image is heavily intertwined in antisemitic conspiracy bullshit.

      Ah, a book I haven’t read. While I do not know the contents I can assure you, as well as my post history, that was not my intention. It is a pretty succinct image of what Russia is doing though by installing Russian loyalists in Western governments. Like thats happening, I should not have to refer you to take a look at the current GOP to figure that out.
