Bc capitalism has such a proven track record of religious tolerance for Jews?? Have you heard of the Nazis lmao Communism has a much better track record of equality for everyone

Yes, democratic capitalist states do have a proven track record of systemic tolerance for Jews. A conservative estimate would be ~30% of communist states have had State-directed campaigns specifically targeting Jews as opposed to a generous estimate of 3% of capitalist democracies. Let’s do an easy search of the top 10 countries in world history in terms of being safe and prosperous for Jews. I’m curious what you find

Let’s look at history and not just this present moment Even the US has had state directed campaigns targeting Jews and it’s probably the country with the best history of tolerance for Jewish people

You literally just said yourself the capitalist US has been the best country historically for Jews. In history, every communist country deteriorates into worse and worse conditions for Jews (well for everyone tbh) whereas capitalist states have continued to expand rights and protections.

I can’t believe this is an actual argument that keeps being pushed in the Jewish yak community. Jews are always blamed as the big bad capitalists and simultaneously the big bad communist. You do no favors pivoting the scapegoat from Jews to capitalists

The European countries that persecuted Jewish people for centuries were primarily capitalist countries, Germany was a capitalist country… the United Stares has been relatively good to Jews historically because it is a country much more separated from tradition, where antisemitism is much less deeply rooted than in Europe

If you’re going to compare then compare. You keep only mentioning Germany. If you want to talk about “deeply rooted antisemitism” then include almost every communist country as well. A comparison means you compare. So go ahead, compare

Virtually every country in Europe has deeply rooted antisemitism, since long before there were any communist or capitalist countries, it’s not about communism or capitalism. You’re the one arguing one is better for Jews than the other And that was the first time I mentioned Germany, which I mentioned in response to you saying that “capitalist countries have continued to expand rights and protections” which is not a remotely accurate description of Jewish history since the start of capitalism

Liberalism is good for Jews and capitalism is liberal.

Capitalism can be liberal, it is not always Multiculturalism and pluralism are good for Jews, that can exist in societies under a variety of systems
