“Anti-Semitic” Quotes by Karl Marx

My friend gave me this book called the Jewish Question by Karl Marx. So I did a cursory search on Google and found these gems, which seem to be a fairly accurate assessment. I source the link at the bottom.


In your review of my booklet there is a lot of discussion about everything except the main issue, namely, the Jew hatred of Karl Marx.

I have collected 108 statements by Karl Marx from his correspondence, his books, his conversations with contemporaries — and all of them, my dear comrade, are viciously, malevolently anti-Semitic.

For the sake of the present argument I will take no recourse to those Marxian epithets, but rather restrict myself to the few that appear in the booklet “A World Without Jews.”

Below you will find some of Karl Marx’s references to Jews, quoted verbatim:

“It is the circumvention of law that makes the religious Jew a religious Jew.” (Die Deutsche Ideologie, MEGA V, 162)

“The Jews of Poland are the smeariest of all races.” (Neue Rheinische Zeitung, April 29, 1849)

He called Ferdinand Lassalle, “Judel Itzig-Jewish Nigger.” (Der Judische Nigger, MEKOR III, 82, July 30, 1862)

“Ramsgate is full of Jews and fleas.” (MEKOR IV, 490, August 25, 1879)

“Let us look at the real Jew of our time; not the Jew of the Sabbath, whom Bauer considers, but the Jew of everyday life.

“What is the Jew’s foundation in our world? Material necessity, private advantage.

“What is the object of the Jew’s worship in this world? Usury. What is his worldly god? Money.

“Very well then; emancipation from usury and money, that is, from practical, real Judaism, would constitute the emancipation of our time.” (“A World Without Jews,” p. 37)

“What was the essential foundation of the Jewish religion? Practical needs, egotism.” (Ibid, p. 40)

“Money is the zealous one God of Israel, beside which no other God may stand. Money degrades all the gods of mankind and turns them into commodities. Money is the universal and self-constituted value set upon all things. It has therefore robbed the whole world, of both nature and man, of its original value. Money is the essence of man’s life and work, which have become alienated from him. This alien monster rules him and he worships it.

“The God of the Jews has become secularized and is now a worldly God. The bill of exchange is the Jew’s real God. His God is the illusory bill of exchange.” (“A World Without Jews,” p. 41)
