The crux is whether Marx simply gave up belief in God, or more darkly—decided to cast his lot with Satan against Yahweh, in spite of the implications?
Surprisingly, Marx made a large number of statements seemingly in support of the Devil, judgment and hell. But the reader can decide themselves the question of this essay—whether Marx was stupid, crazed or diabolical.
I. Explaining Marx’s Character
Considering Karl Marx’s character, in Paul Johnson’s illuminating book Intellectuals, he is described as a natural rebel who fought with his conservative, capitalist father. In later years Johnson describes the shambolic life shared with his wife Jennie, and how continual poverty bore down on their family, exacting a mighty toll. Marx is described as extremely unkempt and unclean, with filthy skin continually suffering boils and carbuncles from its unhygienic state.According to Johnson, a fellow revolutionary named Karl Heinzen described the perpetually angry Marx’s repulsive appearance:
He found Marx “intolerably dirty,” a “cross between a cat and an ape,” with “disheveled coal-black hair and dirty yellow complexion.” It was said impossible to say whether his clothes were mud-colored or just filthy.
Interestingly, Marx was a hypocrite in several ways. First, he held a family servant as essentially an indentured slave in his home, never paying her. For someone who based his life’s work on liberating the poor and victimized, this is shocking. Second, he had a son with this domestic servant whom he never acknowledged, despite them living in attached quarters. Third, he lived off his friend Engel’s wealth taken from the factories he’d inherited from his father. So he was completely supported by capitalist largess which was said to not exist.
