Great article! The only stone left unturned is that of jewish associations. I have no idea if this is actually true, but I've seen DR ppl online argue Marx's sympathy for jews by saying something to the effect of "all of his close friends and associates were jewish." Have you heard these claims, if so, do they have any legitimacy?
Well his closest friend (Engels) and his wife (Jenny) weren't, while his big enemy (Lasalle) was, for what it's worth. It can't be denied that the German socialist space of his day was disproportionately Jewish, but I agree it'd take some research to see if there was anything peculiar going on. Doubt it, though.
Another indicator of Marx' opinion on jewish assimilation (and jews as a whole) is his relationship with the man who introduced him to socialism (and Angles), Moses Hess, whom he derided for his jewishness and support for nationalism and jewish emancipation.
It's a very subtle and ingenious group evolutionary strategy that calls for one's own group to reproduce less... does MacDonald have any response in particular to that letter Cofnas cites?

Excellent work.
If it ain’t Groucho it ain’t real.
Honestly I wouldn’t be a member of any club that would have me.

The one where he compares Jews to lice? I do not believe MacDonald has prepared any response to this latest paper by Cofnas, yet.
