Talk:Żydokomuna

AFD

This page was nominated on the Articles for Deletion page, but I closed it as an incomplete nomination, so it should not be considered as either a 'keep' or a 'delete' recommendation from the community. I mention it here to ensure that any future nominations start with a "second nomination" subpage, as described in the AFD documentation. Turnstep 01:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we should say a couple words why Jews were attracted to revolutionary movements. ←Humus sapiens ←ну? 03:51, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As rabbi Soloveitchik said, there are Jews and Jews. `'mikka (t) 23:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is that an attempt at an excuse? By that logic, all opression is justified. While Jews have been persecuted, they are not themselves free of such crimes as well. That would illustrate a "holier-than-thou" mentality, esp. in the light of current events in the Middle East.

Article is antisemitic. For to delete 84.204.107.177 22:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not. It does describe an antisemitic sentiment of the time. We have Nazism article, which does not mean that it is a nazist article to be deleted. `'mikka (t) 23:10, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Evolution of the term

I corrected the article to describe the term as it was used through the times, and not simply its the late 20th abuse. I don't think the estimates and their documentation are available online, but the overrepresentation of Jews in the pre-war and early after-war Communist government is universally accepted among the mainstream historians.

It is also pretty much universally accepted that Jews were more likely to cooperate with the Soviets during 1939-1941 occupation than the Polish, but I don't have any hard numbers here. For example Jedwabne massacre seemed to have some elements of anti-Żydokomuna backlash, as Lenin monument was destroyed during it. It would be nice to write something about that part of the phenomenon too. Taw 12:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

tagged as unverified

this article cites no sources for the term or information listed here. Sources need to be added.--Isotope23 19:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of "verification" is needed?

There are countless books on the subject - I have just added a link to one of them published by Columbia University Press. What other information needs sourcing?

I had nothing to do with this article until now, and do not participate much in Wikipedia, but the criticism of the article as well as attempts to delete it are not genuine as they simply are means to enforce a taboo on the specific subject of active participation of SOME Jews in the Communism movement and oppression that happened even at the risk of alienating their co-citizens.

Whether we like it or not, the events happened, all can be done now is an attempt to collect the views on the subject from both sides of the conflict.
