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%.

They're not gonna make that explicit on Wikipedia, but click through the "leaders" links, at least 9 are Jewish in the Early Life section.

huh?

and it seems he did not have a strong enough bloodline to be considered officially Jewish.

He was at least Jewish enough for automatic Israeli citizenship. Moreover he met with Chaim Weizmann to discuss the overthrow of the Romanovs years before the revolution.

Started with Rosa Luxemburg from the list of leaders. Honestly, she seems pretty fucking amazing. From a quick glance it seems she was WELL within her rights to oppose the Tsar's annexation of Poland. Fuck that shit. So have a lot of reading to do.

I got a book on Rosa Luxemburg, the first socialist I ever read about too. An interesting, Strong, and Independent woman.
