I think you're confused. 😟

Both Marx & Engels were German nationalists, but it's particularly obvious in Engels' numerous articles published in the Rheinische Zeitung.

This article here provides a great summary with all the references:

Before anyone claims that such antisemitic garbage as "The Jewish Question" was not written by Marx, it's available from the web site "Marxists":

I'm as far from "confused" as possible!

If you think that I'm "confused", then you are completely ignorant 🙄

Grotesquely ignroant.

As you obviously don't know anything about Marx & Engels, let me introduce you to some facts:

Evidence of Marx's Antisemitism

In the unpublished private correspondence with Engels, Marx Marx frequently derided his political foes and his friend’s Jewish backgrounds, even when the specific context of the exchanges did not deal with Jewish issues.

When on holiday in Ramsgate in 1879, Marx reported to Engels that the resort contained “many Jews and fleas.”

Marx referred to Ferdinand Johann Gottlieb Lassal as a “Jewish n***er.”

Marx Sr. borrowed much of his money from Mr. Bamberger and his son, referred to them in a derogatory fashion as “Jew Bamberger” or “little Jew Bamberger.”

Marx and Engels referred to a gentleman named Spielman as “Jew Spielmann".

In his private correspondence, he was sensitive to being reminded of his Jewish heritage and being the son of a convert.

There were extensive irrelevant ethnic slurs and gratuitous hostility towards the Jews in the correspondence letters between Marx and Engels.

This was so well known throughout academia then even until the mid-1960s One of the world's leading commenters on Marx, Shlomo Avineri, even stated: "Karl Marx was an inveterate antisemite is today considered a commonplace which is hardly ever questioned."

No one has managed to locate even the briefest comment by Marx on the beginnings of the Jewish socialist movement in Eastern Europe, although Russian-Jewish socialists were among the first to seriously read and advocate Marx’s main work, "Das Kapital".

Marx never protested against the large and unprecedented wave of pogroms (1881-1882) in Imperial Russia even once, despite his usual habit of condemning the persecution and exploitation of the weak.

Marx noted the emergence of even the most obscure socialist groups with great interest and commenting on them extensively but showed incredible indifference and no commentary on the beginnings of the Jewish working-class movement.

In "Das Kapital", he asserts the genesis of the industrial Capitalist was because of Jews and Lombards engaging in "usury" by citing a passage from an author with the pseudonym "Daniel Hardcastle". Making the false equivalence of "jews = usury"

In his “Theories of Surplus Value,” he praises Luther’s indictment of usury by claiming Luther “has really caught the character of old-fashioned usury, and that of capital as a whole.”

In 1845, in "The Holy Family" Marx claimed that in his articles in the Deutsch-Franzosische Jahrbucher he had "proved that the task of abolishing the essence of Jewry is in truth the task of abolishing Jewry in civil society, abolishing the inhumanity of today's practice in life, the summit of which is the money system." (for the exact quote, see the 1845 publication on p.148 of "The Holy Family")

In "The Holy Family", written with Friedrich Engels, Marx argues that the most pressing imperative is to transcend “the Jewishness of bourgeois society, the inhumanity of present existence, which finds its highest embodiment in the system of money.” [note: the emphasis was in the origial]

In his “Theories of Surplus Value,” he praises Luther’s indictment of usury. Luther “has really caught the character of old-fashioned usury, and that of capital as a whole.”

The two big published essays of his that are rife with anti-Semitic tropes are "On The Jewish Question" and "The Russian Loan" (Most Marxists deny "The Russian Loan" was written by Marx even though it was provided by Elanor Marx along with all his lost private correspondence and published in the New York Daily Tribune Jan 4, 1856)

I appreciate your wanting to educate others. I agree with what you're sharing. What I haven't seen how crt is Marxist.

Seriously?

CRT is 100% Marxist!

It's based on the Frankfurt School, which was founded by Marxists who realized that Communism was a failure, so they thought that they first had to change culture to make people accept their Marxist ideology.

They developed the Critical Theory, Queer Theory etc.

Gothix just brilliantly exposed the Marxist ideology behind CRT, BLM etc.

She points out how modern communists follow EXACTLY the script outlined in:

“The Naked Communist” 45 goals, by Cleon Skousen, 1958.

Pedophilia is an integral part of Cultural Marxism - many famous communists are or were openly pedophile, e.g. Foucault:

This is also confirmed by the far-left professor Derrick Jensen - in this video of one of his lectures, he explains to his students that pedophilia is closely related to communist "anarchy" and Queer Theory:

So yes, there's absolutely no question about the fact that CRT is 100% a Marxist tool and it serves to destroy western society.

My question is: how in the world could you NOT know that CRT is a Marxist tool? It's entirely based on lies, as all of Marxism.
