I have read that one of the reasons Hitler hated the Jews so much is that he blamed them for Marxism.. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. Dont know if that is true or not, but, Marx was Jewish.
Communism was founded by two ex-Lutheran Germans, Marx and Engels. Fredereich Engels came from a famous Luthean family. Marx's family converted to Lutheranism and Marx was one for 20 years. Marx was also a vicious antisemite, whose solution to the Jewish questions was cultural genocide. The Germano-Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 overthrew a government that had ended antisemitic laws, replacing it with one that made Judaism a crime.

Facts weren't relevant to Hitler and his cult. To put things in perspective, Gypsies/Roma/Sinti, who were targetted for extermination by the Nazis, are actual Aryans, whereas Germanic peoples are not.

Marx was first Jewish. His father converted later with the whole family. Matter of fact, I think his grandfather was a rabbi.

Marx never really believed in religion and thought that it should bow to philosophy. As far as his being antisemitic. that I do not know, nor do I care.

Karl Heinrich Marx was born into a comfortable middle-class home in Trier on the river Moselle in Germany on May 5, 1818. He came from a long line of rabbis on both sides of his family and his father, a man who knew Voltaire and Lessing by heart, had agreed to baptism as a Protestant so that he would not lose his job as one of the most respected lawyers in Trier. At the age of seventeen, Marx enrolled in the Faculty of Law at the University of Bonn.
