    Even the ethnic genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany - the extermination of the Jewish race - was deeply rooted in the ideology that Jews were a core component of Bolshevism

    not so much as far as anyone can tell they hated Jews first and most of the reasons they gave for hating Jews they gave worked backwards from hating Jews to blaming them for a thing they don't like. They also baselessly and contradictorily accused the Jews of all being capitalist despite Nazi Germany also being capitalist

    basically the Nazis were extremely incoherent but very clear that they hate Jews albeit for confusing and nonsensical reasons

    they were also extremely anti-communist which was where their material base came from and Mussolini was more clearly anti-communist being slightly less of a rambling lunatic than Hitler

    I once met a man who claimed that the Jews had kicked him off the bus simply because he was drunk, yelling about Jews, and trying to fight the driver. That man was about as precise in his reasoning for why he hated Jews as Nazi Germany
