The racist history of Karl Marx.


Recommended Posts

Now one of the biggest "social justice movements" in US history whose "leaders" praise Marxist policies is led by an AA's, a Hispanic American and a Somalian immigrant.   These same social justice warriors want to tear down any reference of history as it relates to bigotry or racism.

Honestly you couldn't make this shit up if you tried.  :lol:

May Day celebrations were held all across the fruited plain, with leftist radicals and unionists worshipping the ideals of communism.

Communism is an ideology calling for government control over our lives. It was created by Karl Marx, who—along with his collaborator, Friedrich Engels—wrote a pamphlet called “Manifesto of the Communist Party.”

In 1867, Marx wrote the first volume of “Das Kapital.” The second and third volumes were published posthumously, edited by Engels.

Few people who call themselves Marxists have ever even bothered to read “Das Kapital.” If one did read it, he would see that people who call themselves Marxists have little in common with Marx.

For those who see Marx as their hero, there are a few historical tidbits they might find interesting. Nathaniel Weyl, himself a former communist, dug them up for his 1979 book, “Karl Marx: Racist.”

For example, Marx didn’t think much of Mexicans. When the United States annexed California after the Mexican War, Marx sarcastically asked, “Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?”

Engels shared Marx’s contempt for Mexicans, explaining: “In America we have witnessed the conquest of Mexico and have rejoiced at it. It is to the interest of its own development that Mexico will be placed under the tutelage of the United States.”

Marx had a racial vision that might be interesting to his modern-day black supporters. In a letter to Engels, in reference to his socialist political competitor Ferdinand Lassalle, Marx wrote:

It is now completely clear to me that he, as is proved by his cranial formation and his hair, descends from the Negroes who had joined Moses’ exodus from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother on the paternal side had not interbred with a n—–. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product.

Engels shared Marx’s racial philosophy. In 1887, Paul Lafargue, who was Marx’s son-in-law, was a candidate for a council seat in a Paris district that contained a zoo. Engels claimed that Lafargue had “one-eighth or one-twelfth n—– blood.”

In a letter to Lafargue’s wife, Engels wrote, “Being in his quality as a n—–, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district.”

Marx was also an anti-Semite, as seen in his essay titled “On the Jewish Question,” which was published in 1844. Marx asked:

What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? 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. … The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange. … The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.

Despite the fact that in the 20th century alone communism was responsible for more than 100 million murders, much of the support for communism and socialism is among intellectuals.

The reason they do not condemn the barbarism of communism is understandable. Richard Pipes explains:

Intellectuals, by the very nature of their professions, grant enormous attention to words and ideas. And they are attracted by socialist ideas. They find that the ideas of communism are praiseworthy and attractive; that, to them, is more important than the practice of communism. Now, Nazi ideals, on the other hand, were pure barbarism; nothing could be said in favor of them.

That means leftists around the world will continue to celebrate the ideas of communism.

Marx and Engels were massive racists. But for some reason it’s cool when they do it 

Past racism is completely acceptable when it aligns with your political and or economic philosophy.  

From “A Plan for Peace” (1932): [The government should] “give certain dysgenic groups in our population their choice of segregation or sterilization.” Margaret Sanger

And finally, the essence of Margaret Sanger. From “The Eugenic Value of Birth Control Propaganda” (1921): “Today eugenics is suggested by the most diverse minds as the most adequate and thorough avenue in the solution of racial, political and social problems.” Margaret Sanger

Did you guys really think you could dare disparage the great Karl Marx and Moto wouldn't ride in here on his horse to White Knight?

I addressed this already in the meme thread. 

The US was founded by racist slave owners, but you guys seem to be ok with that. Why is this a big deal?

No, it's not "all I have", but going any deeper is clearly a waste of energy.

Ahhhh....so a "nuanced understanding of historical context" should only be afforded to those who share your sides political and economic philosophy.   :lol:  

Exactly what is going on in America today.   I knew this would be your response but thanks for the confirmation. :thumbsup:

I actually agree with you understanding of the times in a historical context.   I wasn't agreeing with racial or bigoted views I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy that comes from one side. 

No one of here can know if growing up and living in those times what our thoughts on those subjects would have been.   Same reason so many today "forgive" or "overlook" FDR's treatment of Japanese American's after Pearl.   You really have to live in those times to completely understand the behavior. 

Its also why I comment on how long must we go back before certain behaviors are found to be acceptable.  This is not excusing those behaviors just accepting that during that time period things were different.

Of course they were different, hence modern Marxists being poc.

I’ll just leave this here as it still reflects the view of the Republican Party. 
 

In their fourth debate, at Charleston, Illinois, on September 18, 1858, Lincoln made his position clear. “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,” he began, going on to say that he opposed blacks having the right to vote, to serve on juries, to hold office and to intermarry with whites.

Marxists are race hustlers. They pretend to care about all these social justice issues it’s really just a means to an end. Once the socialist utopia is established all these people will be tossed aside
