Leon Trotsky

Plus a whole bunch of Jewish scientists on either side in the Cold War.
Was Marx Jewish? EDIT: nope, don't think so.

I thought that he was of jewish descent (but unreligious), wich is part of why the Nazis called communism a jewish conspiracy.

Yep, Marx was a Jew. Just like quite a lot of the Bolshevik (and Menshevik) revolutionaries. Jews first, Georgians later, and Russians all the time...

Really? I'll keep that in mind. Strange that Wiki doesn't say that, they tend to mention jewish descent in their articles.

Yep, Trotsky (naturally), Kamenev (his mother wasn't Jewish, though), Zinoviev, Sverdlov (likely ordered Nicholas II's death), Uritsky (first head of the Cheka), Sokolnikov (created the U.S.S.R.'s first stable currency), Genrikh Yagoda (yet another Cheka peep), and later Kaganovich (a homie of Stalin's).

But, overall, the highest percentage they ever formed was around 6-10% in the Bolshevik Party (the so-called "Old Guard") and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Jewish communism, indeed...
