Bernie Sanders is the most successful Jewish candidate for the presidency ever …
Handing the opposition the argument is instant failure.

Another “Democratic socialist” type with Jewish roots wrote the following:
What, in itself, was the basis of the Jewish religion? Practical need; egoism.

The monotheism of the Jew, therefore, is in reality the polytheism of the many needs, a polytheism which makes even the lavatory an object of divine law. Practical need, egoism, is the principle of civil society, and as such appears in pure form as soon as civil society has fully given birth to the political state. The god of practical need and self-interest is 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. Money is the universal self-established value of all things. It has, therefore, robbed the whole world—both the world of men and nature—of its specific value. Money is the estranged essence of man’s work and man’s existence, and this alien essence dominates him, and he worships it.

The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. …
That would be Karl Marx.

Yes. But Marx spoke about his own kind of secular persons of Jewish heritage. His statement did not speak of the millions of Jews that affirm their faith in God and try to follow Biblical moral teachings. Marx denigrated his pen kind of secular “jew “ — and many would say that he knew his subject well — all too well perhaps when you examine his own life
