Dear justice,
You said it yourself ... “Marx had Jewish ancestry”
So, as i wrote, it is the BLOODLINE, not what religious sect, defined him.
As far as i was taught, and has held true, he was a Jew.

Defining someone as Jewish according to bloodline is exactly what the Nazis did in their notorious Nuremberg Laws. It set the stage for a genocide of millions.
Plus, one's bloodline alone does not necessarily influence one's ideology, especially in the case of Marx, whose writings obviously show contempt for that bloodline.
