Do Leftists Know What Their Hero Karl Marx Thought of Blacks, Jews, and Mexicans?
May Day celebrations were held all across the fruited plain, with leftist radicals and unionists worshipping the ideals of communism. Communism is an ideology calling for government control over our lives. It was created by Karl Marx, who — along with his collaborator, Friedrich Engels — wrote a pamphlet called “Manifesto of the Communist Party.” In 1867, Marx wrote the first volume of “Das Kapital.” The second and third volumes were published posthumously, edited by Engels. Few people who call themselves Marxists have ever even bothered to read “Das Kapital.” If one did read it, he would see that people who call themselves Marxists have little in common with Marx.
For those who see Marx as their hero, there are a few historical tidbits they might find interesting. Nathaniel Weyl, himself a former communist, dug them up for his 1979 book, “Karl Marx: Racist.” For example, Marx didn’t think much of Mexicans. When the United States annexed California after the Mexican War, Marx sarcastically asked, “Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?” Engels shared Marx’s contempt for Mexicans, explaining: “In America we have witnessed the conquest of Mexico and have rejoiced at it. It is to the interest of its own development that Mexico will be placed under the tutelage of the United States.”
Marx had a racial vision that might be interesting to his modern-day black supporters. In a letter to Engels, in reference to his socialist political competitor Ferdinand Lassalle, Marx wrote:
“It is now completely clear to me that he, as is proved by his cranial formation and his hair, descends from the Negroes who had joined Moses’ exodus from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother on the paternal side had not interbred with a nigger. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product. The obtrusiveness of the fellow is also nigger-like.”
Engels shared Marx’s racial philosophy. In 1887, Paul Lafargue, who was Marx’s son-in-law, was a candidate for a council seat in a Paris district that contained a zoo. Engels claimed that Lafargue had “one-eighth or one-twelfth nigger blood.” In a letter to Lafargue’s wife, Engels wrote,
“Being in his quality as a nigger, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district.”
Marx was also an anti-Semite, as seen in his essay titled “On the Jewish Question,” which was published in 1844. Marx asked:
“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.”
Despite the fact that in the 20th century alone communism was responsible for more than 100 million murders (http://tinyurl.com/zafgs5p), much of the support for communism and socialism is among intellectuals. The reason they do not condemn the barbarism of communism is understandable. Dr. Richard Pipes explains: “Intellectuals, by the very nature of their professions, grant enormous attention to words and ideas. And they are attracted by socialist ideas. They find that the ideas of communism are praiseworthy and attractive; that, to them, is more important than the practice of communism. Now, Nazi ideals, on the other hand, were pure barbarism; nothing could be said in favor of them.” That means leftists around the world will continue to celebrate the ideas of communism.

Drexler, a workingman who in connection with Feder and Eckart founded the German Workers’ Party, which Hitler subsewuently transformed into the Nazi Party, believed that Marxism was _controlled opposition_ to Capitalism! The real problem was Jewish international capital, not rich men who owned the means of production as Marxism taught, in Drexler’s view. Effectively Marxism hid the real problem, which was Jewish, and this was its whole intention, Drexler thought. Feder, who discovered that 95 percent of all capital was loan capital, not industrial capital, came to agree with Drexler that Marxism was a fraudulent controlled opposition to Capitalism. As for Marx’s racism, I suspect it was just a smokescreen. Marx was a baptized Jew whose true loyalty was to the Jewish nation. He put on airs to hide this fact, and the meaning of his racism was to hide his Jewishness, I think.

To paraphrase Mel Brooks, “It’s good to be a UN official in Israel.” This is one of the ways Israel blackmails and corrupts foreign politicians of all stripes, and it’s guaranteed that we’ll never hear anything more about this, or learn the identity of this UN official.

“8 American monuments celebrating anti-Semites
By Aiden Pink
Updated June 23
In the weeks since protests against racism began after the killing of George Floyd, activists around the world have been toppling statues, either by pressuring public officials or by tearing the monuments down themselves.
Activists have naturally focused on memorials to Confederate leaders or others who enacted racist policies, and associate monuments to anti-Semites with Europe, where they are common. The United States has its own such memorials.
Gen. George S. Patton
Patton was one of the most important American military leaders during World War II, and the armies he commanded were crucial in winning the European theater of the war. He was also one of the American leaders responsible for overseeing the dissolution of Nazi concentration camps captured by the Allies. But his diary entries, posthumously published in 1996, reveal that his opinion of the Jewish prisoners he encountered was scarcely different than the Nazis he had just defeated. He described the Jewish displaced persons as “locusts,” “lower than animals,” “lost to all decency,” and “a subhuman species without any of the cultural or social refinements of our times.”
A monument to Patton was unveiled at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. in 1950, and then rededicated in 2009 — 13 years after his diary was published.
Henry Ford
Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, was also the owner of the Dearborn Independent, a newspaper that was distributed in dealerships nationwide. The Independent frequently published screeds and conspiracy theories against Jews, including several under Ford’s own name, as well as copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious anti-Semitic forgery. Ford was also frequently praised by Nazi leadership, which gave him a medal in 1938.
Today, a statue of Ford is present at the Henry Ford Centennial Library in Dearborn, Mich. Another statue of him is found on the property of The Henry Ford, a history and science museum he founded.
Charles Lindbergh
Lindbergh was the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. He also received an award from Nazi leadership, and was a spokesman for the America First Committee, an isolationist group that had several Nazi sympathizers among its leadership. Lindbergh publicly claimed Jews were pushing the United States needlessly into World War II. He also was a close friend of Henry Ford, who said in 1940, “When Charles comes out here, we only talk about the Jews.”
Today, a statue of Lindbergh, depicting him both as a child and an adult, is found on the lawn of the state capitol complex in St. Paul, Minn., his home state. A bust of his face also graces the Lindbergh Terminal of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Peter Stuyvesant
Stuyvesant was the final and most famous governor of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam before it was ceded to the British and became New York City. Stuyvesant initially refused to allow Jews to settle permanently in New Amsterdam, and while he later changed his mind, he made them pay a special tax. He also referred to Jews as “the deceitful race, such hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ.”
Today, several New York City locations are named after him, including the Bed-Stuy neighborhood and Stuyvesant High School. Statues of him can be found at Stuyvesant Square in Manhattan’s Lower East Side and Bergen Square in Jersey City, N.J. An Israeli legal advocacy group in 2017 called on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to remove the Stuyvesant Square statue, saying that the former governor was an “extreme racist.”
Martin Luther
Luther, the founder of Protestantism, harbored a hatred of Jews that would influence Europe for centuries. The official Protestant organizations of Germany and Norway officially condemned Luther’s anti-Semitism in 2015.
Owing to his historical and theological significance, statues of Luther are still present at Protestant universities and seminaries across the United States. But there is one monument to him sitting on public lands: an 18-foot-tall statue in Baltimore administered by the city’s department of parks and recreation. The statue was erected in 1936 and had a rededication ceremony in 2011.
Ulysses S. Grant
As commander of the Union Army, Grant’s victory freed millions of slaves. But during his tenure as general, he also expelled all Jews from Tennessee.
A statue of him — the largest equestrian monument in the United States — still stands in Washington, D.C. Another memorial to Grant came down last week in San Francisco, because Grant once owned a slave. During his presidency, he expressed great regret both for his slave-owning past and for his expulsion of the Jews.
Mary Elizabeth Lease
Lease, born in 1850, was an 19th century Populist and a leader of the women’s suffrage movement. She campaigned in favor of women’s and farmers’ rights, as well as the prohibition of alcohol. One scholar has claimed that Lease, who was based in Kansas for much of her fame, was the inspiration for the character of Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz,” written by L. Frank Baum. But her crusade against bankers, who she felt were oppressing farmers, often veered into anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. People who were forced to take out bank loans were “paying tribute to the Rothschilds of England, who are but the agent of the Jews,” she claimed.
A statue of Lease was erected in Wichita, Kansas in 2012 by the Hypatia Club, the state’s oldest women’s club, which Lease founded. “She was an incredible role model when she couldn’t even vote,” a club member told the Wichita Eagle.
Thomas E. Watson
Watson was a Georgia congressman and newspaper publisher who served as a vice-presidential nominee for William Jennings Bryan’s Populist Party in 1896. During the 1913 trial of Leo Frank, a Jewish man falsely accused of murdering a 13-year-old Christian girl, Watson’s paper whipped up anti-Semitic sentiment. After Frank was convicted and his sentence was commuted, Watson advocated for Frank to be lynched, which he eventually was. Watson was elected to the Senate in 1922 but died in office a year later. In addition to his anti-Semitism, Watson was also a white supremacist and anti-Catholic.
The statue of Watson on the steps of the Georgia state capitol was long controversial. Then-Gov. Nathan Deal removed the statue in 2013, but claimed that his move was only for renovation purposes. The statue is now located in a park across the street from the building.

If an unknown individual could get some of these Marx quotes printed onto stickers, then have them plastered in the area around the statue in Gelsenkirchen. This would stir up a fine hornets nest of accusations and denials and backpedaling.
Other quotes that need to be printed onto stickers and distributed to BLM activists:
Moses Maimonides is revered as the greatest Jewish philosopher.
This is what he had to say about black people:
“Those who are incapable of attaining to supreme religious values include the black colored people and those who resemble them in their climates. Their nature is like the mute animals. Their level among existing things is below that of a man and above that of a monkey.”

Simianization: Apes, Gender, Class, and Race, by Wulf D. Hund, Charles W. Mills, Silvia Sebastiani
“I consider these [Kushites (blacks)] as irrational beings, and not as human beings.” Maimonides is anticipating a crucial modern racist trope: blacks as the missing link between humans and apes.
