To present my point I will start with some quotes, then follow with argument based on them.
“In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.” Karl Marx On the Jewish Question, 1844
“What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. … Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man—and turns them into commodities. … The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. … The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.” Karl Marx, “On the Jewish Question,” 1844
“This splendid territory [the Balkans] has the misfortune to be inhabited by a conglomerate of different races and nationalities, of which it is hard to say which is the least fit for progress and civilization. Slavonians, Greeks, Wallachians, Arnauts, twelve millions of men, are all held in submission by one million of Turks, and up to a recent period, it appeared doubtful whether, of all these different races, the Turks were not the most competent to hold the supremacy which, in such a mixed population, could not but accrue to one of these nationalities.” Karl Marx, “The Russian Menace to Europe,” 1853
“Indian society has no history at all, at least no known history. What we shall call its history is but the history of the successive invaders who founded their empires on the passive basis of that unresisting and unchanging society.” Karl Marx, New York Daily Tribune, August 8, 1853
“Thus we find every tyrant backed by a Jew, as is every Pope by a Jesuit. In truth, the cravings of oppressors would be hopeless, and the practicability of war out of the question, if there were not an army of Jesuits to smother thought and a handful of Jews to ransack pockets. … The fact that 1,855 years ago Christ drove the Jewish money-changers out of the temple, and that the money-changers of our age, enlisted on the side of tyranny, happen again to be Jews is perhaps no more than a historic coincidence.” Karl Marx, “The Russian Loan,” 1856
“The Jewish nigger Lassalle who, I’m glad to say, is leaving at the end of this week, has happily lost another 5,000 talers in an ill-judged speculation. The chap would sooner throw money down the drain than lend it to a ‘friend,’ even though his interest and capital were guaranteed. … It is now quite plain to me—as the shape of his head and the way his hair grows also testify—that he is descended from the negroes who accompanied Moses’ flight from Egypt (unless his mother or paternal grandmother interbred with a nigger). Now, this blend of Jewishness and Germanness, on the one hand, and basic negroid stock, on the other, must inevitably give rise to a peculiar product. The fellow’s importunity is also nigger-like.” Karl Marx, “Marx to Friedrich Engels in Manchester,” 1862
“Russia is a name usurped by the Muscovites. They are not Slavs, do not belong at all to the Indo-German race, but are des intrus [intruders], who must again he hurled back beyond the Dnieper, etc.” Karl Marx, letter to Friedrich Engels, June 24, 1865
Tremaux “proved that the common Negro type is the degenerate form of a much higher one … a very significant advance over Darwin.” Karl Marx, letter to Friedrich Engels, August 7, 1866
Karl Marx repeatedly appealed to racist sentiments while presenting arguments and opinions. This is particularly true of his bias against Jews. His paper “The Russian Loan” is a conspiracy theory repeated by Nazi Germany and continued today by white supremacists and other anti Semites. The theory is that Jews somehow rule the world. If that were true I doubt the press would be so biased in favor of Hamas. Marx constantly referred to races of people and their abilities or lack of, and demonstrated deep seated Germanophilia.
There are many who claim that Marx was not a racist (The Jacobin). These arguments are based on the ideological belief that Marx was trying to promote equality and egalitarianism. As such the fan is willing to deny the obvious truth shown by the quotes above.
Marx was a con man, promoting egalitarianism among the untermenchen. The common folk would live in a society where they all got the same amount of cookies. These commoners are presented a new ideology to make themselves feel righteous; “take what you need and give what you can.”
The oligarchy would live in luxury and have complete power over the lives of these commoners. One’s profession and opportunity for education would be chosen for him by this oligarchy. One’s ability to achieve certification vetted by loyal professors who had been themselves vetted. No one would be able, on their own merits, to rise to a position to challenge this oligarchy. The real goal of Marxism; homogenize humanity ideologically. This makes the population easier to control and monitor while preventing possible challenges to the ruling elite. Marxism presents a blueprint for an autocracy to last 1000 years.
Nazi Germany was a more aggressive attempt to accomplish a similar goal. Historians will say the National Socialist German Workers Party was not socialist. They say this because they believe the same lie from above; that Marx was an idealist. The Nazi government did not nationalize the businesses of Germany but did dictate to manufacturers what to produce; effectively the same thing. It was easier to gain control of the economy with the support of German industrialists. This is the point; Marx was a power monger and an opportunist.
Notice how Marx’s quotes align with the later actions of the Third Reich. The attempted extermination of the Jews echoes his views. Hitler’s obsession with Russia and ill advised invasion expedited the end of the Third Reich. It’s as if Marx himself was dictating Hitler’s moves.
This man is King Ferdinand II of Aragon (10 March 1452 – 23 January 1516). He married Queen Isabela of Castile which united their kingdoms and created Spain. They are known as the Catholic Monarchs. They subsequently conquered the Muslim ruled Kingdom of Granada in events that led to the Spanish Inquisition. Ferdinand had several illegitimate children before and during his marriage to Isabela. Of his 7 legitimate children the most notable are Catherine I, Queen of England and Joanna I whom he incarcerated for 50 years claiming her to be mentally unstable.
This man was Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvrai (12 June 1760 – 25 August 1797). He was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, politician, and diplomat. During the French Revolution he was a Girondist, half of the Legislative Assembly opposed to the Montagnards. As a writer and activist he had promoted the ideals of the Enlightenment; after the success of the US Revolution everyone did. He championed a more moderate approach than Robespierre and Marat. He lobbied for a constitutional monarchy and to spare King Louis XVI’s life. It is believed by some historians he helped destroy his own Girondist movement through the incessant use of libelous writings and statements against the Montagnards. Could this have been intentional? This hobbled any attempts to stop the Reign of Terror. After the Thermidorian Reaction resulted in the death or Robespierre and Marat, he was so threatened by the people of Paris he left. He received an appointment in Naples but died before taking the post.
This is Karl Heinrich Marx (5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) the German economist who made Socialism and Communism a thing. He wrote extensively against Capitalism and Free Enterprise, believing a centralized government run by a single party should control all material wealth. He believed this could only be achieved through violent revolution, purges and forced re-education of the masses. Although descended from Jews he has been criticized as having been an anti Semite and racist. [1] [2] He met Friedrich Engels in Paris in 1944. They where lifetime friends. Marx’s pet names for his daughters were “Hottentot” and Qui Qui, they committed suicide later in life. Marx’s legitimate sons did not survive to adulthood, he is rumored to have fathered one illegitimate one with his maid. Marx spent his latter years in London from 1850 until his death in 1883.
This man is Generaloberst Friedrich Fromm (8 October 1888 – 12 March 1945). Fromm fought for the German Army in World War I and was appointed as Commander of the Replacement Army by Hitler. His job during World War II was to recruit and train men for the ranks of the German Army. He also commanded all the troops in Germany itself and was in charge of supplies and weapons manufacturing, mostly accomplished with slave labor from the concentration camps. Fromm was Hitler’s sky daddy and the latter probably didn’t know it.
The July 20 plotters (bombing of Hitler’s headquarters) were members of his staff; Claus von Stauffenberg being his executive officer. He had decided to keep quiet about the affair in exchange for a leadership position in the new government. When the plot failed he had his men arrested and, against orders to take them alive, immediately executed so as not to be implicated by their potential testimony. Does that look like a face capable of such barbarity? It most certainly is. Fromm was executed almost a year later on the 12th of March 1945 for executing them against orders.
Marx was born to a non practicing Jewish family – but he knew he wouldn’t be a Jew in his next lifetime.

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
