ユダヤ的コミュニズム、ユダヤ的マルクス主義などが、反ユダヤ主義のスローガンとなった(ヒトラー・第三帝国もこれを、ユダヤ的金融資本などの批判とならんで、中心的に掲げた）が、本当か？

　たとえば、選挙分析によれば、｢普通のユダヤ人」は、コミュニスト政党に投票しなかった。「普通のユダヤ人」大衆は、コミュニストの社会的基盤ではなかった。

　　だが、反ユダヤ主義者によって、コミュニズムとも同一視された。

　　民族主義的ナショナリズムからすれば、ユダヤ人もコミュニストも等しく攻撃対象であった。

「普通のユダヤ人」、｢圧倒的多数のユダヤ人」は、共産主義・マルクス主義とは別であり、たとえば一番犠牲の多かったポーランドの戦間期選挙分析が,それを明らかにしている。

Regarding the right of Jews to vote in interwar Poland, and how in fact
they voted, see Jeffrey S. Kopstein and Jason Wittenberg Jeffrey, "Who
Voted Communist? Reconsidering the Social Bases of Radicalism in Interwar
Poland," _Slavic Review_, Vol. 62, no. 1 (Spring 2003), pp. 87-109.


The abstract: "Research on the sources of support for the communists in
interwar Poland has emphasized the role of ethnic minorities, especially
the Jews. To what degree did Poland's national minorities vote for the
Communist Party? Using census data and electoral returns on interwar
Poland's 272 districts, as well as a new technique for inferring
individual level behavior from aggregate level data, Jeffrey Kopstein and
Jason Wittenberg generate reliable estimates of ethnic group voting
behavior for the Sejm [Parliament] elections of 1922 and 1928. The results
show that it is incorrect to speak of a unified minority vote. Communist
parties received disproportionate support from Belarusans. By 1928
Ukrainians voted overwhelming for ethno-national parties. The bulk of Jews
drifted into establishment politics, disproportionately supporting the
pro-government Bloc. Contrary to the myth of the "Jewish communist," Jews
provided only a small fraction of the electoral support for the communist
parties. The evidence shows that not only were the overwhelming number of Jews not communist supporters but the vast majority of communist voters were not Jews."
