I found it pretty shocking to see Ben Shapiro admit this. He's speaking in a pretty awkward way, too, I think he might be a little bit torn because...
he's basically saying "you know all that stuff the Nazis said about the jews being communists? yeah, a lot of it was true" & he kindof understands that he's making a pretty damning admission here on a topic jews normally scream ANTISEMITE over, so he's kindof trying to hedge & say it was because they were oppressed, victims, etc. nah, the whole reason the nazis hated the jews so much was because of their strong association with communism. it's not like the jews only ran to communism as a cope after the nazis rose. jews were very prominent in the communist uprisings that caused the German collapse in WW1 - the "stab in the back" that jews now claim to be an "antisemetic trope". That's what drove nazi antipathy towards "judeo-bolshevism". which was a real thing.
At 3:40 Ben admits that jewish intellectuals were communists. This is normally the kind of true fact that will get a person called a nazi & an antisemite. One correction is that jewish communism wasn't a reaction to the nazis - jewish communism came first, and the nazis hatred of the jews & "judeo bolshevism" arose in response to the perception that jews formed the intellectual core of communism from its earliest days, as was seen in the Bavarian Soviet Republic in the communist revolutions of 1918-1919.
They also hated the jews because of all the child brothels and for profiting from the financial enslavement of Germany, but the whole being responsible for the KPD was most certainly a big part of it too.
