Marx grew up in a family of Orthodox Jews. He also had affiliations with certain Jesuits, as did Stalin.

In his diary, Trotsky wrote fond of Freemasonry in his diary and was a Jew who grew up in an Orthdox Jewish family. Because you believe Trotsky was Jewish, do you, /u/useless_aether , also believe Trotsky was an apostate Jew who disowned his religious upbringing? All of the Jews in the Bolshevik party, and it was not just Trotsky --- it makes plenty of historical sense that it should not have been just one, considering the Tsar and whites persecuted many Jews and Peasants, who also sided with the Bolsheviks, who then turned on them --- were atheistical Jews. Meaning Jew by race, which, correct me if I'm wrong is only a recent phenomenon that is lacking in historical accuracy considering most Jews before the 15th and 16th centuries were religious, exclaiming Jews who denounced their religion were not really true Jews. Even today there is infighting among the various Orthodox and reformed sects.

It does a disservice to Solzhenitsyn, a rightfully loving Christian who experienced the Bolshevik steamroller, to quote his work, many of it disinformation from reviews and articles. It would be best to read his banned book '200 Years Together.'

He never blames Jews, nor whites, only that all most come into accord with their past and accept the reality. Solzhenitsyn's book proves, that atheistical Jews, not just Trotsky were all in high positions of governance within the Commissar and Gulag, Cheka ranks.

Most Orthodox Jews would call these non-religious Jews apostates. Solzhenitsyn illustrates, everywhere you went atheistical Jews were in the top positions of the Cheka and secret police. They also, with Lenin in a decree written in the Pravada executed anyone who was deemed anti-Semitic.

In Kiev, Isaac Schwartz assumed the direction of the 10-member Kiev Cheka collective. Initially seven of its members were Jewish. The Cheka personnel in Ukraine — with Ukrainians being 80% of the population — was 75% of Jewish origin.

If as late as 1934, with a Jewish population percentage of approximately 2%, fully 39%) of the top officials of the secret services came from Jewish families — yet from Russian families only 36% — history is entitled to speak of a Jewish supremacy in the secret services. This supremacy was smashed only by Stalin [Solzhenitsyn adds that on January 1, 1938 their percentage was 27% and on July 1, 1939 a mere 4%.— Ed.].

And who were its victims? Solzhenitsyn says:

. . . [T]he innumerable shooting victims, those who were sunk in whole ships, the hostages and prisoners . . . the officers were Russians, the nobles were Russians, the zemstvo members were Russians, and the farmers who did not want to go into the Red Army and were dragged out of the forests, Russians.

Ephraim Sklyansky (a physician from a Jewish family) was a pitiless deputy of Trotsky in the Revolutionary War Council. He created the Red Army together with Trotsky and Sverdlov, and participated with General Tukhachevsky and the regional Cheka head Lev Levin in ruthlessly crushing the farmer uprisings. He "drowned" (many believe he was killed at the behest of Stalin) in 1925 during a mission to the U.S.

There were thousands of atheistical Jews, not just one.
