It says "which elements of the bolshevik ideology are represented on the picture?". The one circled means antisemitism. In the same exam the actually antisemitic horthy-regime was referred to as "sustaining national and christian values"

    The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies, not as Jews but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother. ---Lenin

      woah lenin said this? I have to commit this to memory. I have some truly insufferable family who believe that all communists hate us (jews) and that I am a self-hating jew because I want universal healthcare.

        During the Russian civil war that followed the revolution (1918-1920), whatever area of Russia the Red Army entered, Jews were liberated from the control of the deeply anti-Semitic White Army. Lenin declared, "The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies not as Jews, but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother." Throughout the nineteen-twenties, the Soviet government genuinely attempted to treat Jews as an independent nationality with equal rights. The state financially supported a Jewish school system, a Jewish people's court, Jewish theaters, newspapers, magazines, and publishing houses---in other words, "a pro-Jewish policy unknown and hardly feasible in another country."

    Reminder that Victor Orbán, raging anti-semite, racist, sexist, homophobe and one of the most transphobic heads of state in the entire world (changing the gender on your passport is illegal in Hungary now) was propped up by Western European mainstream conservative parties for over a decade while he embezzled EU funds, brought the mass media under his personal control and systematically had judges replaced so courts would rule in his favor. A very close friend of ghouls like Dr. Helmut Kohl, former chancellor of Germany, beloved by Euro neocons for his rabidly anticommunist stance.

      And yet the Soviets where in the wrong for intervening when Hungarians with connections to said paramilitaries began marking crosses on the doors of Jews and Communists marking them for lynching.

      hell, antisemitism is a founding pillar of western culture. older than christianity by a long shot.

    Portraying Jews as European kings is an age old antisemitic trope.
