I haven’t looked much into him yet but he checks a lot of good boxes.

Is he someone that leftists could back?

Is there any dirt that people have dug up that I’m not aware of?

If we wanted to champion him, could the leftist orgs unify and help him?

Do I sound like a dirty reformist(God pls no)???

Thoughts? Opinions?

He’s not wrong in that. The USSR did some Nazi-esque shit to Jews. Just at a slower pace.

While the USSR certainly didn’t target Jewish folk as aggressively as the Nazis, that’s not really the bar for being horrible.

I recommend this, heavily.

Soviets ended the holocaust.

In pushing into half of Poland, they saved over 3,000,000 Jews from the Nazi war machine.

In this piece, there are touching quotations from Jewish anticommunists and sympathizers alike saying that they could never hate the USSR. Soviet soldiers spoke Yiddish to them, told them their nightmare was over. They cried and hugged them.

In the Soviet Union, antisemitism was illegal and punishable by death.
