Hey, useful idiots: Karl Marx was a racist and anti-Semite Walter E. Williams: His devotees who destroy property also don't care about people of color
wnd.com ^ | 8/11/2020 | Walter Williams

Most people who call themselves Marxists know very little of Karl Marx's life and have never read his three-volume "Das Kapital." Volume I was published in 1867, the only volume published before Marx's death in 1883. Volumes II and III were later edited and published in his name by his friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels. Most people who call themselves Marxist have only read his 1848 pamphlet "The Communist Manifesto," which was written with Engels.

Marx is a hero to many labor union leaders and civil rights organizations, including leftist groups like Black Lives Matter, Antifa and some Democratic Party leaders. It is easy to be a Marxist if you know little of his life. Marx's predictions about capitalism and the "withering away of the state" turned out to be grossly wrong. What most people do not know is that Marx was a racist and an anti-Semite.

When the U.S. annexed California after the Mexican-American War, Marx wrote: "Without violence nothing is ever accomplished in history." Then he asked, "Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?" Friedrich Engels added: "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." Many of Marx's racist ideas were reported in "Karl Marx, Racist" a book written by Nathaniel Weyl, a former member of the U.S. Communist Party.

Hopefully Mr. Williams is okay. From banging his head against a brick wall. As Mark Twain said: "No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot(s)". So, no amount of brilliant thought on Mr. Williams part will either. I always read his articles. So smart. And Tom Sowell. And many others.

Somebody please explain why the statue of Vladimir Lenin in Seattle has not been torn down?
Are there no patriots bold enough to peacefully protest and then pull down old Vlad?

In that case, there would probably be an overwhelming police presence to prevent it.

All of those punks with the Che shirts have never read a word by him or else they would have put him on the Cancel list a long time ago. He hated blacks, Mexican and just about anyone who wasn't as white as he was. But then as a psychopathic murderer he had a lot of hate to spread around.

The ends justify the means in their eyes. These types are deranged, malformed, hate-filled and violent.
They’re brainwashed and fed a constant diet of communist propaganda.
Whats the difference hating blacks or whitey? The difference is “whitey got it coming”.

Marxists have been at war with personal property and individuality from the start.

There is absolutely no need for them to change or hide their agenda, just for the criminal American losers!

The Marxist and Liberals’ ranks have ALWAYS been filled with the most disaffected, unintelligent and pathologically anti-social misfits!

There is always that element in every society. Now, US loser misfits finally see themselves as strong and numerous enough to overlook their own differences and succeed in an assault on American society in general.

Of course, their path has been cleared by the NEA and the MSM...without whose lies and manipulation not one of these loser clowns could ‘succeed’ at anything!

The Left doesn’t care a whit about real racism in the real world.

“Racism” is nothing more than a wizard word used by them to cast spells upon the feeble-minded.

“Racism” is nothing more than a tool, a lever, with which to pry open previously locked doorss.

And yet, Marx was a Jew.
