They were receiving major persecution from the Tsar.

The worst thing the Tsar ever did to the Jews was to try to force them to do manual labor. He gave them land and plows, and for that they wiped out his entire family.

Can anyone provide some info on the connection? Is it overplayed? Is it true?

Communist movements were extremely Jewish, especially before Stalin consolidated power (even though he cracked down on some Jews, they still had significant influence - his right-hand man was a Jew named Kaganovich). Jews made up 60% of the leaders of the German Revolution. Many other Communist leaders were Jews, including Lenin, Trotsky, and Bela Kun. Jewish Wall Street billionaires (Jacob Schiff, the Warburg Brothers) were also involved in financing these movements. "In fact, 85 to 90% of the foreigners helping the Chinese at the time of the Communist takeover were Jewish."

Why does it persist even up to its current form of "Cultural Marxism".

This is a means of capturing Judeo-skepticism and converting it into support for mainstream conservatism. The far-left cultural shifts do follow the ideas of the Frankfurt School Jew Herbert Marcuse, but these cultural changes mostly haven't taken place in Communist or former Communist countries. This term obscures the corrosive effect of liberal democracy and free-market capitalism.

Your reply illustrates the problem. The link referencing the German Revolution says nothing about the Jewish influence on the movement. Lenins Jewish origins are not verified by history and it seems he did not have a strong enough bloodline to be considered officially Jewish. Further the article concerning the Chinese communists only refers to one man. A far cry from 85 to 90%.

Lenins Jewish origins are not verified by history

Despite undoubted pressure to say otherwise or to avoid the subject like the plague, it seems to be largely acknowledged by historians that he was at least 1/4 Jewish. His own sister even stated this. 1/4 Jewish means he would be considered Jewish under Israeli law and allowed to immigrate there.

Lenin's extreme philosemitism was unusual for Russians at the time, and Russian Jews were notoriously insular and hostile towards goys. They were far less integrated than say German Jews, which may partially be why the red terror and Soviet genocides that followed were so bloody. That Lenin would be so enamored with, trusted by, and surrounded by a group that normally had nothing but contempt for non Jews would seem extremely odd. His Jewish ancestry explains this, along with his ruthless hostility towards Russians and near total disregard for their lives.
