Jews and political radicalism

This article is about the history of ethnic Jews and political radicalism. For the antisemitic canard, see Jewish Bolshevism.

History

According to Paul Johnson, Jewish society in the last 1,500 years has been designed to produce and support intellectuals who largely focused their talents on rabbinical studies. Johnson asserts that "quite suddenly, around the year 1800, this ancient and highly efficient social machine for the production of intellectuals began to shift its output. Instead of pouring all its products into the closed circuit of rabbinical studies, ... it unleashed a significant and ever-growing proportion of them into secular life. This was an event of shattering importance in world history."
