Walter Williams, the brilliant economist and thought leader, wrote in The Patriot Post five years ago, in August 2020, that today’s so-called Marxists know nothing of Karl Marx’s life and never read his three-volume “Das Kapital.”
Union leaders, civil rights groups, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and some Democratic Party leaders don’t realize his predictions of capitalism and the “withering away of the state” were grossly wrong. They also don’t know that Marx was a racist and an anti-Semite, despite being Jewish, keeping his heritage secret from the public.

Hatred of Mexicans
When the U.S. annexed California after the Mexican-American War, Marx wrote: “Without violence, nothing is ever accomplished in history.” Then he asked, “Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?” Friedrich Engels added: “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.”
Hatred of Black People
In a July 1862 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 from Egypt, assuming that his mother or grandmother had not interbred with a n-gg-r. Now this union of Judaism and Germanism with a basic Negro substance must produce a peculiar product. The obtrusiveness of the fellow is also n-gg-r-like.”
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 Paul had “one eighth or one twelfth nigger blood.” In an April 1887 letter to Paul’s wife, Engels wrote, “Being in his quality as a nigger, 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.”
Anti-Semitism is an integral part of Marx’s ideology. We shouldn’t be surprised by it now.
In 1844, he published an essay titled “On the Jewish Question.” He wrote that the worldly religion of Jews was “huckstering” and that the Jew’s god was “money.” Marx’s view of Jews was that they could only become an emancipated ethnicity or culture when they no longer existed.
Marxist professors ignore the fact that people like Che Guevara and Stalin were Marxists, but professors fail to acknowledge that Marx’s ideology and writings were responsible for the deaths of tens of millions.
Williams called today’s Marxists, especially the white liberals, “useful idiots.” Many supporters are falling for the failed promises of the past, so the leaders of the movement can concentrate power over us.
