For both fascist and communist regimes in the 20th century, Jews were the biggest "cosmopolitan" offenders. They were easy to accuse of being somehow foreign. The Jewish community of Rome had been around for thousands of years, and yet was included in Mussolini's 1938 racial laws that targeted Italian Jews, who were widely implicated in the state press as the agents of a "cosmopolitanism" led by a people "without countries, ideals, or traditions."
Adolf Hitler's Nuremberg Laws were justified through similar language, while attacking "cosmopolitanism" became a common way to fight Jewish and Western influences during the Cold War-era regime of Joseph Stalin.
