We all know Karl Marx (1818—1883) taught devilish doctrines like communism, but is there any evidence he was possessed? Paul Kengor has amassed a substantial amount of historical and biographical evidence that this may have been the case.
In The Devil and Karl Marx, Kengor analyzes’ Marx’s own writings, his poetry, a demonic-style play, and examines the much-neglected unflattering (to say the least) behaviors and actions of the father of communism.
Kengor also mentions names of current Marxist influencers. An exceptionally detailed treatment of one of the main diseases our culture suffers from.

I’m going to take a gander and say that homosexuality may have played a part in why Marx turned away from God. He turned when he was 12 or 13, for unknown reasons. That is often the age when young males are molested by an older male.
This makes Christian’s sound stupid…just plain ignorant
He was influenced by communists. He hated himself and his community. Came up with a lunatic view of monetary policy that fit a dictatorship.
People with direct experience in this area have said that there are many kinds of spiritual beings that might be characterized as evil and not all were like those bat guano types of demons in the movies. Some were much more civilized in behavior and were involved in what might be called partial possession or just heavy influence.
It’s hard to say if he was demon possessed. There is no doubt he was EVIL. He is certainly not alone. There have been some real evil scum bags, throughout history.
He was influenced by communists. He hated himself and his community. Came up with a lunatic view of monetary policy that fit a dictatorship.
It does not make Christians sound stupid and ignorant but rather exposes the intellectually, spiritually, and morally bankrupt foundations of philosophical materialism, the worldview operating within the minds of millions of Westerners and Americans.
Marx was an avowed materialist. In line with materialism is denial of the supernatural dimension of the Triune God, man's conscious soul, mind, will, and conscience; angels, demons, heaven, and hell.
Now when you say Marx "came up with a lunatic view..." by implication you posit the existence of Marx' conscious soul, mind, and will, thereby refuting the illogical premises of philosophical materialism.
In some of his poems Marx actually affirms the existence of God, heaven, hell, Satan, and his soul. It was never the case that the philosophical materialism he affirmed was truth but rather a deceptive cover behind which he denied the existence of everything he knew existed but that he outwardly denied. He was a Big Liar
So was he possessed by Satan, who he gave his soul to? If not possession then a lengthy 'walk in' of the kind experienced by Judas..
This makes Christians sound stupid to whom? To atheists?
I don’t think any of this conversation can be taken, without remembering the era (mid-1800s Europe), where crappy ghetto surroundings was the norm in urbanized European cities, and everyone wanted some handout to get ahead (which they weren’t going to get).
About every decade, someone would crank up some utopia dream and how the rich would give up what they had.
One would never say to a person who has, for example, hallucinations that having hallucinations makes them look "stupid." Or a colorblind person saying to a person who sees colors, "Seeing colors makes you look stupid."
You wouldn't expect a person who lacks imagination to say to a person with a vivid imagination, "The things you imagine make you look stupid."
The question is, "Why the emotional response from atheists to Christians?" A childish response (like "that makes you looks stupid") says more about the speaker than the one to whom the comment is directed.
Absolutely agree! We can almost hear the resentment and see the pouty lip.
I admit I didn’t watch it all, but the guest says he doesn’t even know. So I’m not quite sure what the purpose of this show was.
Communism is, was, and always will be a failure. It fails because of human behaviors. Leaders quickly become corrupt, workers quickly become lazy, and economies quickly fail. That’s simply the nature of the beast. ‘Possessed’ is a great description of the adherents who cannot see this.
He was Communism's Patient Zero. Influencer rather than influenced.
Wes Cecil on YouTube is a Lefty, a philosopher, and tells it like it is on historical persons of influence (good or bad).
His 45 minute talk on Marx paints a bleak picture of the person.
I wouldn’t be surprised. By their fruits you shall know them.
Marx was not a solo player. His partner in crime, Friedrich Engels, was just as big a player, perhaps bigger.

Don’t think of the 19th Century as being pure and innocent, either. For much of the century many people considered Napoleon Bonaparte the antichrist. After his wars, though things calmed down a bit, in 1848 Europe had often violent, anti-monarchical revolutions in many countries, excepting those, like Britain, that had already had theirs.
“Ugly Industrialism” was close to anti-human in how it did things, leveling forests for fuel in factories that belched out polluting smoke, and dumped industrial waste into water supplies. Workers were regarded as little more than machines.
This naturally created all kinds of weird political movements in the public.
What this says about Marx being possessed, who knows? But if he was, he had a LOT of company.
Satanically possessed, Satanically inspired. He was serving Satan, and that’s really all it boils down to.
good reply.
