Karl Marx and the Civil War

The subject of Karl Marx (today says he was Rommel but wasn’t) and his activities during the US Civil War is unfamiliar for some. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote articles for news papers during this time, including the New York Daily Tribune. Marx wrote letters to Abraham Lincoln; the latter being interested in workers movements like Socialism and Unionism.

Marx lived in London at the time, living there in self exile. Great Britain had considered helping the Confederacy, still having interest in their former colonies after their loss of the War of 1812. The Trent Affair (Nov 8, 1861) occurred when the US government arrested two Confederate diplomats from a British mail ship enroute to secure support for their war effort. The incident almost led to war between the US and Great Britain. The British did sell weapons to the Confederacy and John Laird and Sons shipyard produced two warships for the Confederate Navy.

What kind of man was Marx? We can see his adopted nation supported the Confederacy yet he seemingly supported the Union. His writings on slavery hold some clues.

The cultivation of the Southern export articles, cotton, tobacco, sugar, etc., carried on by slaves, is only renumerative as long as it is conducted with large gangs of slaves, on a mass scale and on wide expanses of a naturally fertile soil, which requires only simple labor. Intensive cultivation, which depends less on fertility of the soil than on investment of capital, intelligence and energy of labor, is contrary to the nature of slavery.” Karl Marx – October 20, 1861, Die Presse article, “The North American Civil War.”

Without slavery, North America, the most progressive of countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country. Wipe out North America from the map of the world and you will have anarchy— the complete decay of modern commerce and civilization. Abolish slavery and you will have wiped America off the map of nations.” Karl Marx, “The Poverty of Philosophy,” 1847

Did Karl Marx incorrectly believe that if the North won the war, and slavery was abolished, the US economy would falter and the country would fall? It would be a magnificent blow against capitalism and for his world wide socialist revolution (First International) it he really believed that. Of course if the South won the country would have been divided; a certain victory against the US.

His claim to support the North because he thought their victory would bring the downfall of the US may have been nothing more than a political ploy.

Maybe he was handling someone on one side while his buddy handled someone on the other; as they would later do during the Iranian Revolution. It’s also possible appearing to befriend Lincoln would have been a way to throw people off track if he was seen handling someone on the side of the South.

Karl Marx is a fascist giant rapist of Mordor in this lifetime – the international field-marshal. He was no different in past lifetimes. This time he pretends to be a republican god – go figure. After the war they assassinated Abraham Lincoln (case study 44) and James Garfield (case study 69). They recruited some members from the Confederate States to help in their next attempt at world domination; fascism in Europe. He would go on to handle Hitler.

Phil pretends to be friends of his son while his mf’s attempt to set his son up to look like a rapist and replace him with someone that actually is. They are all, including Phil, working together.

This is NAZI Dr. Josef Mengele (16 March 1911 – 7 February 1979). Also known as the “Angel of Death,” he performed sadistic research on imprisoned Jewish children while stationed at Auschwitz. This “research” was simply torture under another name. He was harvesting souls. After World War II he escaped to South America and lived under the assumed name Wolfgang Gerhard.

The casual reader might ask; “Where is this mf now?” He’s 42 or 43 years old in 2023.
