From the book's Forward:

It is interesting to note that most of Marx's anti-Semitic references in his correspondences, his journal writings and his books were entire eliminated by his various editors. Their full text, however, is now being published by the decidedly anti-Jewish-oriented state publishing house in Moscow.

For starters, this book was published in 1959; during the cold war. For context, this was during the final years of the McCarty red-scare era.
The likelihood of an honest Marxist book being published in this era in the US is close to 0%.
The likelihood of a publisher writing propaganda crap is close to certain.

The next point this book is trying to assert a Christan religious state vs. Jewish religious/state emancipation argument.

Marx was atheist.

This is absurd.

Come on bro! You're a clever man. I doubt you actually read this... Aaaaadmit it. ;-)

It's all good, bro. ;-).

I'm not defending Marx, but that shit was over the top. If that was real then we'd have heard about it for decades.

Marx the super antisemite!!! It was hilariously, over-the-top crazy. ;-)

Per the article: Marx didn't write these.

But it is not the purpose of the publishers of "A World Without Jews" to give publicity to Marxian thought. Their purpose is to advance the preposterous claim that Marx was anti-Semitic;

This was intended to be a hit piece against Marx.

This was intended to be a hit piece against Marx.

As in, the intention of the authors, and publishers.

However, you may have been agreeing with Marx? Especially, given the recent tenor of popular posts that convincingly suggest a conflict of interest with Israeli dual citizenship in politics.

Both conclusions could be seen as reasonable, depending upon one's politics.

You should read on Satanism too. Despite the name, the actual beliefs of most forms of it (multiple religions share the same name) are not evil at all.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

Convincing people that he did would be right up there.

it doesnt matter he was an offspring of rabbis on both sides of his family, he was a satanist. he admits it in writing.

Hitler made some pretty good art. Many people have good ideas and/or actions as well as very harmful ones.

It is quite funny to see the description, on https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/HitlerMaryWithJesus.jpg, "Mother Mary with the Holy Child Jesus Christ in 1913 by Adolf Hitler". That is a pretty stark contrast, isn't it?

hitler was not a fascist/nazi mastermind. he didnt write mein kampf either. he was basically an actor, practicing his speeches/public appearances in front of a mirror, just how most politicans today are actors. he was a nobody, sleeping on the streets, before the powers that shouldnt be discovered him to be used as a figurehead for their own purposes.

i have met with the anti christ, he is cruel and intrepid, he frightened me
