These are tricky questions, but I don't think this is a precise analogy. It seems to me a better analogy might be a scenario in which workers start by striking against the particular abuses of Jewish capitalists, then become radicalized to the point of calling for the total expropriation of *Jewish* capitalists, but have "not yet" evolved to the point of calling for general expropriation. This would be troubling to say the least.
