-Caveat Lector-
MARX AND SATAN
by Richard Wurmbrand, 1986
A BOOK REVIEW - PART ONE OF TWO
Karl Marx has been celebrated in leftist media and academic circles
as a visionary humanitarian whose compassion for the downtrodden
industrial working class of the nineteenth century consumed his
life. This propaganda, of a "compassionate" Marx, has been one of
the most effective weapons in the left wing arsenal.
In 1986, Richard Wurmbrand, himself once a prisoner of the
Communist dictatorship of Romania, exploded the myth of Marx as
"compassionate savior of the working class." Drawing on Marx's
personal correspondence, plays, and poetry, Wurmbrand exposes the
reader to a Marx hidden from our view: A Marx that despised
humanity, and, rather than not believing in the existence of God,
Marx believed that God exists. In fact, Marx believed in God
enough to hate Him with unbridled fanaticism.
ATHEISM: COVER FOR SATAN WORSHIP
For someone who did not believe in God, Marx expended a lot of
energy expressing his hatred of God. In his poem, "Invocation of
One in Despair," Marx declares a war of personal revenge on God:
"So a god has snatched from me my all
In the curse and rack of destiny.
All his worlds are gone beyond recall
Nothing but revenge is left for me.
I shall build my throne high overhead,
Cold, tremendous shall its summit be.
For its bulwark, supersitious dreads.
For its marshal, blackest agony...."
Later on in the "poem," Marx declares himself to be the equal
of God:
"Then I will be able to walk triumphantly,
like a god, through the ruins of their kingdom.
Every word of mine is fire and action.
My breast is equal to that of the creator."
Marx, the "atheist," believed in God enough to hate Him. As we
will see in later sections of this review, Marx's extreme hatred
of humanity led him to his hatred of humanity's Creator.
In his play, OULANEM, Marx admits that there is an eternal life,
but for him, it is an eternal life of hatred. The chief object of
Marx's hatred was made clear in the "poem," "Invocation of One in
Despair:"
"I wish to avenge myself against the One who rules above."
As no one can hate, or desire revenge, against someone he claims to
believe does not even exist, Marx's suppressed writings clearly
indicate that he really believed two things about religion:
1. Marx believed in God.
2. Marx hated God.
Moses Hess, socialist revolutionary, brought Marx into the world
socialist movement. Hess said of Marx: "Dr. Marx, my idol, will
give the last kick to medieval religion."
Georg Jung, another friend and fellow revolutionary, bragged that
Marx would "chase God from his heaven."
For Marx, socialism was just bait to trick the working classes into
helping him with his unending war on God, when liberals claim Marx
didn't believe God exists.
Wurmbrand turned up solid research of Marx's connections with the
Satan worshipping cults that rose up in nineteenth century Europe.
Marx's daughter, Eleanor, received her father's permission to marry
Edward Eveling. Eveling was another "thinker" of the period, who
lived to lecture on such topics as "The Wickedness of God."
Eveling described God as "an encourager of polygamy and an
instigator of theft."
Eveling exposed himself as a worshipper of Satan when he came up
with his own bit of "poetry:"
"To thee my verses, unbridled and daring,
Shall mount, O Satan, king of the banquet.
Away with thy sprinkle, O priest, and thy droning.
For never shall Satan, O priest, stand behind thee.
Like the whirlwind spreading its wings,
He passes, O people, Satan the great!
Hail, of reason the great Vindicator!
Sacred to thee shall rise incense and vows!
Thou hast the god of the priest disenthroned!"
Marx's "atheism" was a cover for his true allegiance to Satan.
That is the conclusion Richard Wurmbrand arrived at as the result
of his research.

In Part 2,
Marx, the "Great Humanitarian," expresses his actual hatred
for all humanity. We will see that he called for a solution
to what he called THE JEWISH QUESTION, in a diatribe that
heralded the coming of ADOLF HITLER.

MARX AND SATAN
by Richard Wurmbrand, 1986
A BOOK REVIEW - PART TWO OF TWO
The modern media and academia portray Marx as a great humanitarian,
concerned for the downtrodden, the poor, and the oppressed. The
true Marx is far different, as Richard Wurmbrand learned after
reading all of Marx's literary works, and most his private papers.
MARX: ANTI-SEMITE
Marx, himself of Jewish ancestry, hated Jews. In an 1956 article
in the NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Karl scored a two-bagger by slamming Jews
and Catholics in the same sentence:
"We know that behind every tyrant stands a Jew, as a Jesuit
stands behind every Pope."
In the next sentence, Marx is at it again:
"...if it were not for the Jews who steal the treasures of
mankind."
Marx couldn't finish one sentence in this article without spewing
his anti-semitic hate. In sentence three:
"They were like the contemporary usurers who stand behind
tyrants and tyrannies, and the majority of them are Jewish."
In sentence four, Marx is STILL at it:
"The fact that the Jews have become so strong as to endanger
the life of the world causes us to disclose their
organization, their purpose, that its stench might awaken the
workers of the world to fight and eliminate such a canker."
For a few articles, Marx rested, but was soon back again with
another blockbuster:
"Squash the Jewish capitalists.
Hang them from lamp posts.
Tread them under foot."
MARX HATED THE GERMANS, TOO
Not to be outdone by Hitler, Karl Marx hated the Germans, too. His
solution to the German reluctance to embrace his utopian vision:
"Beating is the only means of resurrecting the Germans."
And why did Marx despise the Germans?
"...the stupid German people...their disgusting national
narrowness."
Marx went on to hit a triple of hatred against the Germans, the
Jews, and the Chinese:
"Germans, Chinese, and Jews have to compared with peddlers and
small merchants."
That's our Karl! The thinking man's Archie Bunker.
MARX ADVOCATES GENOCIDE AGAINST THE SLAVIC PEOPLES
Here are some choice expressions Marx used to describe the
following: POLES, CZECHS, RUSSIANS, SERBS, CROATS, SLOVENIANS,
and all other Slavic peoples:
(1) "the Slavic riffraff;"
(2) "retrograde races;"
(3) "cabbage eaters;"
(4) "ethnic trash."
Here is the fate Marx wished on all the Slavs:
"The COMING WORLD WAR (emphasis added) will cause not only
reactionary classes and dynasties, but entire reactionary
peoples, to disappear from the face of the earth. And that
will be progress."
A little further on in this typical Marxist diatribe of universal
love, peace, and understanding, Marx really lets us have it with
what he wants to happen to all Slavs:
"Their very name will vanish."
Marx wrote this piece in 1848. Funny how clearly he foresaw World
War I, along with many of its results. Oh, well, we all know that
no one PLANS world wars. They just HAPPEN.
MARX: ANTI-BLACK RACIST EXTRAORDINAIRRE
Marx hated the African race. His personal correspondence is filled
with references to blacks as being "idiots," among other things.
Yes, and he frequently uses the racist derogation, "nigger." In
fact, Marx uses this word a lot. I guess he really LIKED it. He
especially liked to attack his worst enemies with it, and used it
frequently in the same pieces to attack his enemies. One rival of
Karl's a Lassalle, was described by that example of "tolerance,"
Karl Marx, as being a "Jewish nigger," once again displaying the
Marxian bent for attacking two or more groups in the same sentence.
Ku Kluxers, who have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same
time, but still hate as many different groups (ALL OF THEM) as
Marx, couldn't attack as many of them with the same economy of
prose as shown by Karl Marx.
Marx lingered over his racist attack on Lassalle:
"It is now absolutely clear to me that, as both the shape of
his head and the texture of his hair shows, he (Lassalle)is
descended from the Negroes who joined Moses' flight from Egypt
(unless his mother or grandmother on the paternal side
hybridized with a nigger). The pushiness of the fellow is
also nigger-like."
Remember, I am quoting Karl Marx, Champion of the Oppressed, here.
These are HIS views, not mine.
Marx loved the peculiar institution of slavery -- yes, SLAVERY --
in the United States as well. He responded to Proudhon's call for
the emancipation of blacks in America as follows:
"Without slavery, North America, the most progressive of
countries, would be transformed into a patriarchal country.
Wipe North America from the map of the world and you will
have anarchy -- the complete decay of modern commerce and
civilization. Abolish slavery and you will have wiped
America off the map of nations."
MARX: ANTI-GOVERNMENT ACTIVIST
Marx was "anti-government" as he desired the violent overthrow of
existing governments. Now, since today's Left has not made any
distinction between just and unjust opposition to government
policy, it is safe to assume that the Left opposes ALL dissent
from government policy. The way they denounce "anti-government"
activity indicates the Left feels they are denouncing a SECULAR
SIN. As their mentor, Marx, was also "anti-government," he was
also a secular sinner in this matter.
Oh, and that nasty von Stauffenberg guy, who tried to kill Hitler,
was also "ANTI-GOVERNMENT."

Subj: [CTRL] MARX AND SATAN
This book was written by pastor Richard Wurmbrand. He was a
Romanian Lutheran pastor of Jewish descent. He spent 14 years
in a communist jail for his Christian beliefs (and was torured
quite severly at a certain stage). <snip>
MARX AND SATAN
Introduction
But I offer credible proofs to support my thesis, and I invite you
to carefully consider them.
The Communists have certainly taken note of this book, which has
been translated into Russian, Chinese, Romanian, German, Slovak,
and other languages, and has been smuggled into Iron Curtain
countries in great quantities. For instance, the East Berlin
journal Deutsche Lehrerzeitung, under the heading "The Killer of
Marx," denounced my book vehemently, calling it "the most broadly
based, provocative, and heinous work written against Marx."
Can Marx be so easily destroyed? Is this his Achilles' heel?
Would Marxism be discredited if men knew about his connection with
Satanism? Do enough people care?
Marxism is the great fact of modern life. Whatever your opinion of
it, whether or not you believe in the existence of Satan, whatever
importance you attach to the cult of Satan practiced in certain
circles, I ask you to consider, weigh, and judge the documentation
I present here.
I trust it will help you orient yourself to the problems with which
Marxism confronts every inhabitant of the globe today
Richard Wurmbrand
<snip>
We begin now to understand what has happened to young Marx. He had
had Christian convictions, but had not led a consistent life. His
correspondence with his father testifies to his squandering great
sums of money on pleasures and his constant quarreling with
parental authority about this and other matters. Then he seems to
have fallen in with the tenets of the highly secret Satanist church
and received the rites of initiation.
Satan, who his worshipers see in their hallucinatory orgies,
actually speaks through them. Thus Marx is only Satan's mouthpiece
when he utters in his poem "Invocation of One in Despair" the
words, "I wish to avenge myself against the One who rules above."
Listen to the end of Oulanem:
[Oulanem: a drama composed by Marx during his student years]
If there is a Something which devours,
I'll leap within it, though I bring the world to ruins -
The world which bulks between me and the abyss
I will smash to pieces with my enduring curses.
I'll throw my arms around its harsh reality,
Embracing me, the world will dumbly pass away,
And then sink down to utter nothingness,
Perished, with no existence -
that would be really living.
Marx was probably inspired by the words of the Marquis de Sade:
"I abhor nature. I would like to split its planet, hinder its
process, stop the circles of stars, overthrow the globes that float
in space, destroy what serves nature, protect what harms it - in a
word, I wish to insult it in my works. ... Perhaps we will be able
to attack the sun, deprive the universe of it, or use it to set the
world on fire. These would be real crimes."
De Sade and Marx propagate the same ideas!
Honest men, as well as men inspired by God, often seek to serve
their fellowmen by writing books to increase their store of
knowledge, improve their morality, stimulate religious sentiments,
or at least provide relaxation and amusement. The Devil is the
only being who consciously purveys only evil to humankind, and he
does this through his elect servants.
As far as I know, Marx is the only renowned author who has ever
called his own writings "shit," "swinish books."
He consciously, deliberately gives his readers filth. No wonder,
then, that some of his disciples, Communists in Romania and
Mozambique, have forced prisoners to eat their own excrement and
drink their own urine.
In Oulanem Marx does what the Devil does: he consigns the entire
human race to damnation.
Oulanem is probably the only drama in the world in which all the
characters are aware of their own corruption, and flaunt it and
celebrate it with conviction. In this drama there is no black and
white. There exist no Claudius and Ophelia, Iago and Desdemona.
Here all are servants of darkness, all reveal aspects of
Mephistopheles. All are Satanic, corrupt, doomed.
AGAINST ALL GODS
Satan in Marx's Family
When he wrote the works quoted in the last chapter, Marx, a
premature genius, was only eighteen. His life's program had thus
already been established. He had no vision of serving mankind, the
proletariat, or socialism. He merely wished to bring the world to
ruin, to build for himself a throne whose bulwark would be human
fear.
At that point, correspondence between Karl Marx and his father
included some especially cryptic passages. The son writes,
"A curtain had fallen. My holy of holies was rent asunder and
new gods had to be installed."
These words were written on November 10, 1837 by a young man who
had professed Christianity until then. He had earlier declared
that Christ was in his heart. Now this is no longer so. Who are
the new gods installed in Christ's place?
The father replies,
"I refrained from insisting on an explanation about a very
mysterious matter although it seemed highly dubious. What was
this mysterious matter?"
No biographer of Marx has explained these strange sentences.
On March 2, 1837, Marx's father writes to his son:
"Your advancement, the dear hope of seeing your name someday
of great repute, and your earthly well-being are not the only
desires of my heart. These are illusions I had had a long
time, but I can assure you that their fulfillment would not
have made me happy. Only if your heart remains pure and beats
humanly and if no demon is able to alienate your heart from
better feelings, only then will I be happy."
What made a father suddenly express the fear of demonic influence
upon a young son who until then had been a confessed Christian? Was
it the poems he received as a present from his son for his
fifty-fifth birthday?
The following quotation is taken from Marx's poem "On Hegel":
Words I teach all mixed up into a
devilish muddle.
Thus, anyone may think just what he
chooses to think.
Here also are words from another epigram on Hegel:
Because I discovered the highest,
And because I found the deepest through meditation,
I am great like a God;
I clothe myself in darkness like Him.
In his poem "The Pale Maiden," he writes:
Thus heaven I've forfeited,
I know it full well.
My soul, once true to God, Is chosen for hell.
No commentary is needed.
Marx had started out with artistic ambitions. His poems and drama
are important in revealing the state of his heart; but having no
literary value, they received no recognition. Lack of success in
drama gave us a Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Nazis; in
philosophy a Rosenberg, the purveyor of German racism; in painting
and architecture a Hitler. Hitler was a poet too. It can be
assumed that he never read Marx's poetry, but the resemblance is
striking.
<snip>
Two years after his father's expressed concern, in 1839, the young
Marx wrote The Difference Between Democritus' and Epicurns'
Philosophy of Nature, in the preface to which he aligns himself
with the declaration of Aeschylus,
"I harbor hatred against all gods."
This he qualifies by stating that he is against all gods on earth
and in heaven that do not recognize human self-consciousness as the
supreme godhead.
Marx was an avowed enemy of all gods, a man who bought his sword
from the prince of darkness at the price of his soul. He had
declared it his aim to draw all mankind into the abyss and to
follow them laughing.
Could Marx really have bought his sword from Satan?
His daughter Eleanor says that Marx told her and her sisters many
stories when they were children. The one she liked most was about
a certain Hans Rickle.
"The telling of the story lasted months and months, because it
was a long, long story and never finished. Hans Rickle was a
witch who had a shop with toys and many beautiful things.
Though he was a witch, he was always in financial need.
Therefore he had to sell against his will all his beautiful
things, piece after piece, to the Devil. Some of these
adventures were horrifying and made your hair stand on end."
Is it normal for a father to tell his little children horrifying
stories about selling one's dearest treasures to the Devil? Robert
Payne in his book Marx also recounts this incident in great detail,
as told by Eleanor - how unhappy Rickle, the magician, sold the
toys with reluctance, holding on to them until the last moment.
But since he had made a pact with the Devil, there was no escaping
it.
Marx's biographer continues, "There can be very little doubt that
those interminable stories were autobiographical. He had the
Devil's view of the world, and the Devil's malignity. Sometimes he
seemed to know that he was accomplishing works of evil."
When Marx had finished Oulunem and other early poems in which he
wrote about having a pact with the Devil, he had no thought of
socialism. He even fought against it. He was editor of a German
magazine, the Rheinische Zeitmg, which "does not concede even
theoretical validity to Communist ideas in their present form, let
alone desire their practical realization, which it anyway finds
impossible. ... Attempts by masses to carry out Communist ideas can
be answered by a cannon as soon as they have become dangerous."
<snip>
Shifting gears somewhat, men usually wore beards in Marx's time,
but not beards like his, and they did not have long hair. Marx's
manner and appearance was characteristic of the disciples of Joanna
Southcott, a cultist priestess of an occult sect who claimed to be
in contact with the ghost Shiloh.
It is strange that some sixty years after her death in 1814, the
Chatham group of Southcottians were joined by a soldier James
White, who, after his period of service in India, returned and
took the lead locally, developing further the doctrines of Joanna
Southcott with a communistic tinge.
Marx did not often speak publicly about metaphysics, but we can
gather his views from the men with whom he associated. One of his
partners in the First International was Mikhail Bakunin, a Russian
anarchist, who wrote:
"The Evil One is the satanic revolt against divine authority,
revolt in which we see the fecund germ of all human
emancipations, the revolution. Socialists recognise each
other by the words 'In the name of the one to whom a great
wrong has been done.'
"Satan [is] the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the
emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial
ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his
brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to
disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge."
Bakunin does more than praise Lucifer. He has a concrete program
of revolution, but not one that would free the poor from
exploitation. He writes:
"In this revolution we will have to awaken the Devil in the
people, to stir up the basest passions. Our mission is to
destroy, not to edify the passion of destruction is a
creative passion."
Marx, along with Bakunin, formed the First International and
endorsed this strange program. Marx and Engels said in
The Communist Manifesto that the proletarian sees law, morality,
and religion as "so many bourgeois prejudices, behind which lurk
in ambush just as many bourgeois interests."
Bakunin reveals that Proudhon, another major Socialist thinker
and at that time a friend of Karl Marx, also "worshiped Satan."
Hess had introduced Marx to Proudhon, who wore the same hair style
typical of the nineteenth-century Satanist sect of Joanna Southcott.
Proudhon, in The Philosophy of Misery, declared that God was the
prototype for injustice.
"We reach knowledge in spite of him, we reach society in spite
of him. Every step forward is a victory in which we overcome
the Divine.
He exclaims,
"Come, Satan, slandered by the small and by kings.
God is stupidity and cowardice;
God is hypocrisy and falsehood;
God is tyranny and poverty; God is evil.
Where humanity bows before an altar,
humanity, the slave of kings and
priests, will be condemned....
I swear, God, with my hand stretched out towards the heavens,
that you are nothmg more than the executioner of my reason,
the sceptre of my conscience....
God is essentially anticivilized, antiliberal, antihuman."
Proudhon declares God to be evil because man, His creation, is
evil. Such thoughts are not original; they are the usual content
of sermons delivered in Satanist worship.
Marx later quarreled with Proudhon and wrote a book to refute his
Philosophy of Misery. But Marx contradicted only minor economic
doctrines. He had no objection to Proudhon's demonic anti-God
rebellion.
Heinrich Heine, the renowned German poet, was a third intimate
friend of Marx. He too was a Satan-fancier. He wrote:
I called the devil and he came,
His face with wonder I must scan;
He is not ugly, he is not lame.
He is a delightful, charming man
Marx was a great admirer of Heinrich Heine. Their relationship
was warm, hearty.
Why did he admire Heine? Perhaps for Satanist thoughts like the
following:
I have a desire...
for a few beautiful trees before my door,
and if dear God wishes to make me totally happy,
he will give me the joy of seeing six or seven
of my enemies hanged on these trees.
With a compassionate heart
I will forgive them after death all the wrong
they have done to me during their life.
Yes, we must forgive our enemies,
but not before they are hanged.
I am not revengeful.
I would like to love my enemies.
But I cannot love them before taking revenge upon them.
Only then my heart opens for them.
As long as one has not avenged himself,
bitterness remains in the heart.
Would any decent man be an intimate friend of one who thinks like
this?
But Marx and his entourage thought alike. Lunat charski,
a leading philosopher who was once minister of education of the
U.S.S.R., wrote in Socialism and Religion that Marx set aside
all contact with God and instead put Satan in front of marching
proletarian columns.
It is essential at this point to state emphatically that Marx and
his comrades, while anti-God, were not atheists, as present-day
Marxists claim to be. That is, while they openly denounced and
reviled God, they bated a God in whom they believed. They
challenged not His existence, but His supremacy
When the revolution broke out in Paris in 1871, the Communard
Flourens declared, "Our enemy is God. Hatred of God is the
beginning of wisdom."
Marx greatly praised the Communards who openly proclaimed this aim.
But what has this to do with a more equitable distribution of goods
or with better social institutions? Such are only the outward
trappings for concealing the real aim - the total eradication of
God and His worship. Today we see the evidence of this in such
countries as Albania and North Korea, where all churches, mosques,
and pagodas have been closed.
Marx's Devilish Poetry
We see this clearly in Marx's poetry In "Invocation of One in
Despair" and "Human Pride," man's supreme supplication is for
his own greatness. If man is doomed to perish through his own
greatness, this will be a cosmic catastrophe, but he will die as
a godlike being, mourned by demons. Marx's ballad "The Player"
records the singer's complaints against a God who neither knows
nor respects his art.
This emerges from the dark abyss of hell,
"bedeviling the mind and bewitching the heart,
and his dance is the dance of death."
The minstrel draws his sword and
throws it into the poet's soul.
Art emerging from the dark abyss of hell, bedeviling the mind...
This reminds us of the words of the American revolutionary Jerry
Rubin in Do It:
We've combined youth, music, sex, drugs, and rebellion with
treason - and that's a combination hard to beat.
In his poem "Human Pride," Marx admits that his aim is not to
improve the world or to reform or revolutionize it, but simply
to ruin it and to enjoy its being ruined:
With disdain I will throw my gauntlet
Full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant
Whose fall will not stifle my ardour.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious
Through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force,
I will feel equal to the Creator.
Marx adopted Satanism after intense inner struggle. He ceased
writing poems during a period of severe illness, a result of the
tempest within his heart. He wrote at that time about his vexation
at having to make an idol of a view he detested. He felt sick.
The overriding reason for Marx's conversion to communism appears
clearly in a letter of his friend Georg Jung to Ruge: it was not
the emancipation of the proletariat, nor even the establishing of
a better social order. Jung writes:
If Marx, Bruno Bauer and Feuerbach associate to found a
theological-political review, God would do well to surround
himself with all his angels and indulge in self-pity, for
these three will certainly drive him out of heaven. ...
Were these poems the only expressly Satanist writings of Karl Marx?
We do not know, because the bulk of his works is kept secret by
those who guard his manuscripts.
In The Revolted Man, Albert Camus stated that thirty volumes of
Marx and Engels have never been published and expressed the
presumption that they are not much like what is generally known
as Marxism. On reading this, I had one of my secretaries write
to the Marx Institute in Moscow, asking if this assertion of the
French writer is true.
I received a reply The vice director, one Professor M. Mtchedlov,
after saying Camus lied, nevertheless confirmed his allegations.
Mtchedlov wrote that of a total of one hundred volumes, only
thirteen have appeared. He offered a ridiculous excuse for this:
World War II forestalled the printing of the other volumes. The
letter was written in 1980, thirty-five years after the end of
the war. And the State Publishing House of the Soviet Union
surely has sufficient funds.
From this letter it is clear that though the Soviet Communists have
all the manuscripts for one hundred volumes, they have chosen to
publish only thirteen. There is no other explanation than that
most of Marx's ideas are deliberately being kept secret.
Marx's Ravaged Life
All active Satanists have ravaged personal lives, and this was
the case with Marx as well.
Arnold Kiinzli, in his book Karl Marx - A Psychogram, writes about
Marx's life, including the suicide of two daughters and a
son-in-law. Three children died of malnutrition. His daughter
Laura, married to the Socialist Lafargue, also buried three of her
children; then she and her husband committed suicide together.
Another daughter Eleanor, decided with her husband to do likewise.
She died; he backed out at the last minute.
Marx felt no obligation to earn a living for his family, though
he could easily have done so through his tremendous knowledge of
languages. Instead, he lived by begging from Engels. He had an
illegitimate child by his maidservant, Helen Demuth. Later he
attributed the child to Engels, who accepted this comedy. Marx
drank heavily. Riazanoy director of the Marx-Engels Institute
in Moscow, admits this fact in his book Karl Marx, Man, Thinker
and Revolutionist.
Eleanor was Marx's favorite daughter. He called her Tussy and
frequently said, "Tussy is me." She was shattered when she heard
about the scandal of illegitimacy from Engels on his deathbed.
It was this that led to her suicide.
It should be noted that Marx, in The Communist Manifesto, had
railed against capitalists "having the wives and daughters of
their proletarians at their disposal." Such hypocrisy was not
out of character for Karl.
There was an even darker spot in the life of Marx the great
revolutionary. The German newspaper Reich (January 9, 1960)
published the fact that the Austrian chancellor Raabe donated to
Nikita Khrushchev then director of Soviet Russia, an original
letter of Karl Marx. Khrushchev did not enjoy it, because it was
proof that Marx had been a paid informer of the Austrian police,
spying on revolutionaries.
The letter had been found accidentally in a secret archive.
It indicated that Marx, as an informer, reported on his comrades
during his exile in London. He received $25 for each bit of
information he turned up. His notes were about the revolutionary
exiles in London, Paris, and Switzerland.
One of those against whom he informed was Ruge, who considered
himself an intimate friend of Marx. Cordial letters between
the two still exist.
Rolv Heuer describes Marx's ravaged financial life in Genius and
Riches:
While he was a student in Berlin, the son of papa Marx
received 700 thalers a year pocket-money.
This was an enormous sum because at that time only 5 percent of
the population had an annual income greater than 300 thalers.
During his lifetime, Marx received from Engels some six million
French francs, according to the Marx Institute.
Yet he always lusted after inheritances. While an uncle of his
was in agony, Marx wrote, "If the dog dies, I would be out of
mischief." To which Engels answers, "I congratulate you for the
sickness of the hinderer of an inheritance, and I hope that the
catastrophe will happen now."
"The dog" died, and Marx wrote on March 8, 1855, a very happy
event.
"Yesterday we were told about the death of the ninety-year-old
uncle of my wife. My wife will receive some one hundred Lst;
even more if the old dog has not left a part of his money to
the lady who administered his house."
He did not have any kinder feelings for those who were much nearer
to him than his uncle. He was not even on speaking terms with his
mother. In December 1863 he wrote to Engels,
Two hours ago a telegram arrived to say that my mother is
dead. Fate needed to take one member of the family I already
had one foot in the grave. Under the circumstances I am
needed more than the old woman. I have to go to Trier about
their inheritance.
This was all he had to say at his mother's passing. In addition,
the relationship between Marx and his wife was demonstrably poor.
She abandoned him twice but returned each time. When she died,

Always in need of funds, Marx lost much money at the stock
exchange, where he, the great economist, knew only how to lose.
Marx was an intellectual of high caliber, as was Engels. But
their correspondence is full of obscenities unusual for their
class of society, foul language abounds, and there is not one
letter in which one hears an idealist speaking about his humanist
or Socialist dream.
Since the Satanist sect is highly secret, we have only reports
about the possibilities of Marx's connections with it. But his
disorderly life is undoubtedly another link in the chain of
evidence already considered.
