It doesn't matter that Nazi policy was about more than just hating Jews. The fact that hating Jews/Aryan supremacy is an aspect of it at all tarnishes the entire program. And while I'm not actually cool with killing, I'd rather be killing Kulaks than innocent Jews.

"I'd rather kill Kulaks than Jews" Sounds like a race-based decision to me.

It isn't. It's literally the exact opposite. Kulaks were basically capitalists. Kulak isn't a race. Capitalist isn't a race. Wanting to kill people because of their racial heritage isn't the same as wanting to kill in order to eliminate class based exploitation.

It's not the exact opposite. It's *point* I don't like those people. What if Jews are over-represented in the class of people who are exploitative? I mean, surely you'll admit that Kenyans are significantly better at long distance running than other races.

It doesn't matter if Jews are over-represented as capitalists/bankers whatever. It's a poor rationale to target an ethnic demographic because some of the population are also exploitative. It's unnecessary since all that's needed to go directly after those who are exploitative.

Why is it a poor rationale? Let's say that, for example, 50% of "target demographic" is exploitative. If "removing exploiters" is the goal of the movement, is it not completely rational to start looking at "target demographic" first?

No, it isn't. Because 50% are innocent and on top of that, even if 50% of the target demographic were exploitative that doesn't translate into 50% of the exploitative individuals being exactly the demographic of which 50% are exploitative. Therefore more innocents are killed.

And that's what happened. The Nazis committed genocide on the basic of racial politics alone, whereas the justification for extreme violence of the USSR was based on social status.
