I've never heard the expression "folderol". I take it to mean "an idea of genius". Stalin took Jews into his nasty campaigns, then got envious or paranoid, and had them murdered. The final solution, I would suggest, if you really want to make the big time as a dictator.

It is a little mean-spirited to briefly praise all my carefully crafted points, and them focus on the one thing you think was bullshit.

Yes, I use expressions like folderol to avoid stronger terms, like, um, balderdash or bunkum ...

Just trying to help out. Unfortunately, saying that Stalin was equally antisemitic to Hitler undermines your other carefully crafty points. As evil as is arguable, "as much an anti-semite as" is ludicrous, and not just to my way of thinking. So too the notion that Baltic anti-semitism originated with association with KGB which follows. By comparison with their neighbors, they may well have been better (Lithuania excepted, IIRC). And even up top of that post, Stalin was executing Lenin's blueprint.

Solzhenitsyn isn't exactly simonpure in this regard either, though it's more a complex legacy of his orthodoxy, and does nothing to diminish his merit in detaching the rise of Communism from Jewish influence.

Saliothomas: this is a lecture. When you know things and can find proof about them on the internet, then you have to show people that you're right xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By Randall Munroe
