As historian Karen Brodkin tells it, socialism was “hegemonic” in American Jewish life before the Cold War.

Not in the sense that every American Jew was a socialist, but rather that a “working class” and “anti-capitalist outlook” was a familiar, even dominant political position of American Jews between the first waves of mass Jewish immigration in the 1880s and the Red Scare of the late 1940s.
