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.

Jews are not loyal to an ideology, a theology or any other principle accept for loyalty of thier own race. This is why racial loyalty in every other people is always attacked by the Jew because it’s the Jewish source of power and only when it is absent in others do they have any power.

> Jews are not loyal to an ideology, a theology or any other principle accept for loyalty of thier own race.

It's easy to show counter-examples to this claim. An obvious one is the way that Leon Trotsky emphatically stressed that World War II was to be seen as an "inter-imperialist" war, rather than "anti-fascist." The British declaration of war on Germany of September 3, 1939, was immediately diagnosed by Trotsky as fitting in with the classic pattern of imperialist rivalry and no more. Had Trotsky been driven by racial loyalty, he would have been many liberals with a previous record of spouting pacifism did. That is, many of these liberals expressed the view that the war against Hitler was a special war which deserved support.

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.

If it ain’t Groucho it ain’t real.

Honestly I wouldn’t be a member of any club that would have me.

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?

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