You may remember that in 1851 the New York Herald Tribune under the sponsorship and publishing of Horace Greeley, employed as its London correspondent an obscure journalist by the name of Karl Marx.

We are told that foreign correspondent Marx, stone broke, and with a family ill and undernourished, constantly appealed to Greeley and managing editor Charles Dana for an increase in his munificent salary of $5 per installment, a salary which he and Engels ungratefully labeled as the "lousiest petty bourgeois cheating."

But when all his financial appeals were refused, Marx looked around for other means of livelihood and fame, eventually terminating his relationship with the Tribune and devoting his talents full time to the cause that would bequeath the world the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, revolution and the cold war.

If only this capitalistic New York newspaper had treated him more kindly; if only Marx had remained a foreign correspondent, history might have been different. And I hope all publishers will bear this lesson in mind the next time they receive a poverty-stricken appeal for a small increase in the expense account from an obscure newspaper man.

Most social justice warriors and other assorted “leftists” today think very highly of Marxism, but they do not have a good understanding of Karl Marx or his comrade Friedrich Engels. While Marxists want to see a utopia where everyone is equal, Marx and Engels were not very fond of “niggers.” He even claimed one of his fellow jews was part “nigger” because of his phrenology, phenotype, and personality.

"The Jewish Nigger, Lassalle… It is now quite plain to me — as the shape of his head and the way his hair grows also testify — that he is descended from the negroes who accompanied Moses’ flight from Egypt (unless his mother or paternal grandmother interbred with a nigger). Now, this blend of Jewishness and Germanness, on the one hand, and basic negroid stock, on the other, must inevitably give rise to a peculiar product. The fellow’s importunity is also nigger-like." ~ Marx to Engels in Manchester (30 July 1862) ...

In 1887 Marx’s son-in-law, Paul Lafargue, was a candidate for a Paris council seat in a district that contained a zoo. Engels said that Lafargue had “one-eighth or one-twelfth nigger blood,” and told Lafargue’s wife in a letter that:

"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."

What do the “trained Marxists” who started BLM have to say about the above quotes?
