I'm going to try to avoid an in depth opener here but I am going to leave this stickied for us to discuss this. I've long been frustrated with the large number of people that reduce all civilizational and racial problems to Jewish plots. Some around here agree with me. Others just think I must be a Jew because I disagree with simplistic conspiracy theories.
Let's lay out some basics of what is legitimate and what is bullshit.
-
Jewish media power - Jews are overrepresented in the US media yet still comprise a minority. And when people say Jews 'own' 'the media' this is the substance of it. They haven't the foggiest idea who owns the media in Germany or Switzerland.
-
Jews control the world - bullshit with no real evidence.
-
Rothschilds own most or all central banks - a kook theory derived from fringe sources.
-
Jews ran the Soviet Union - overstated at best.
-
Israel controls the United States - bullshit though the Zionist lobby has considerable power.
In my mind the most substantive criticism is that American Jews are mostly liberal and give Democrats upwards of 50% of their campaign funds in many cases.
What does this all amount to? Well, American Jews have a huge outmarriage rate. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 50%. Over the long run this will tend to dilute Jewish identity in the US and have them relate more to Gentiles. Some Jews will also start to self-deport as the alt-right gets stronger. Jews moving to Israel should generally be seen as desirable.
Notice I haven't said that pogroms are desirable though. But the gas oven set are apt to thinking my position is a 'Jewish' one. Few Jews would agree.

My turn now to jump into this thread.
My view is that the Jews probably did play a crucial role in the Bolshevik revolution. Even if they may not have outnumbered the Russians in sheer numbers I think they did it when it came to influence. I don't know if this piece written by Winston Churchill has already been cited but here it comes:
"There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. It is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. Thus Tchitcherin, a pure Russian, is eclipsed by his nominal subordinate, Litvinoff, and the influence of Russians like Bukharin or Lunacharski cannot be compared with the power of Trotsky, or of Zinovieff, the Dictator of the Red Citadel (Petrograd), or of Krassin or Radek -- all Jews. In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed the principal, part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commissions for Combatting Counter-Revolution [the Cheka] has been taken by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses."

Well, Jews played an outsized role. Mostly during Red October where you had Trotsky and Joffe leading an armed revolt to seize key installations. But they were leading muscle composed heavily of non-Jews and then you had the Central Committee having like 6-8 Jews out of 26 and the first government having 1 Jew out of about 18.
The fundamental problem here is Jews were just severely lacking in numbers as a percentage of the population. Ipso facto that makes it hard to fathom how they could have essentially run the show. There were a lot of them though. And in key positions.
