Jews invented communism? The word communism was coined in 1840 by John Goodwyn Barmby in reference to followers of the French revolution era Grachus Babeuf. Marx himself was the son of converted Jews who was himself quite anti-semitic.

Marx was instructed in communism by Reform Rabbi Moses Hess. See post 87.

Marx was instructed in communism by Reform Rabbi Moses Hess. See post 87.

Marx's work was a direct response to Hegel and various utopian theorists. It bears litle to no relationship to Rabbinical Judaism.

Moses Hess wasn’t a rabbi.

Hess was one of the earliest socialists and collaborated with Marx, but is not himself responsible for Marx’s ideas.
