Last month, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sat down with Dr. Paul Kengor to discuss the lifestyle, writings and religious ideations of Karl Marx, how communist dogma evolved through modern day and why equal outcome (equity) is wrong on the level of malevolence.
In the same decade that Marx wrote ‘The Communist Manifesto’, Kengor pointed out, he was also writing demonic poems and plays.

Paul Kengor, PhD, is a professor of political science at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania, and editor of The American Spectator. He’s a New York Times bestselling author of more than 20 books, including ‘The Devil and Karl Marx’, ‘God and Ronald Reagan: A Spiritual Life’ and ‘The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism’, which is the basis of the new movie ‘Reagan’. Kengor is a renowned historian of the Cold War, communism and the Reagan presidency.
Marx was born in 1818 in the very Catholic town of Trier, Germany, Kengor explained. Marx was baptised as a Christian in 1824, even though he was born into an Orthodox Jewish family. “[There] were a bunch of Rabbis in the family,” Kengor said. So how did it come to Marx being baptised into the Christian faith?
Marx’s mother didn’t want Marx to be baptised, but his father did. Marx’s father, Heinrich Marx, had converted to Lutheranism, a major branch of Protestantism that emerged from the 16th-century Reformation led by German friar and reformer Martin Luther. “Some say that [Marx’s father converted] because of social pressures in Germany in the day, [i.e.] anti-Semitism.” That may be so, but Kengor believes Marx’s father died a “true believer,” in other words, a Christian.
Marx also had an uncle who converted to Roman Catholicism, “which most people [in Trier] did because it was like 90% Roman Catholic,” Kengor said.
Karl Marx was a fairly dedicated Christian throughout his teenage years, Kengor said, “he really doesn’t start to change until college.” Most of Marx’s biographers have ignored Marx’s faith, so it hasn’t been easy to establish why Marx‘s religious beliefs changed and explained why it is so difficult to obtain information about Marx’s religious views.
Marx’s first major biographer, Franz Mehring, was the first to discover Marx’s demonic poetry and plays. “[Franz] presented them to Marx’s daughter and he said, ‘You know, this stuff shouldn’t see the light of day, I mean this is this is bad, I mean this is really damning’,” Kengor revealed. “And a communist with some Integrity, is it David Riazanov (?), with the Marx-Engles Institute in the 1920s, found all of it and said, ‘No for the sake of, you know, we need to put this stuff out there so people know what Marx believed’. So, he actually found and first published it.”
These works by Marx were ignored until the late 1960s and early 1970s when Robert Payne wrote about them in his book ‘Marx’. Since then, only two other biographers have written about Marx’s demonic material and beliefs: Paul Johnson in ‘Intellectuals’ and Richard Wurmbrand in ‘Marx & Satan’. “All the other Marx biographers, they just ignore it, they completely ignore it,” Kengor said.
So, what happened between Marx’s teenage years when he was a Christian and his college years when he flipped to the other side? “The best that I can determine, he came under the influence of a professor in college named Dr. Bruno Bauer [at the] University of Bonn, who was a professor of theology who was an atheist … and eventually run out of the university. He and Marx became very tight, very close … so close that they … started a journal together called ‘Annals of Atheism’, which never gets off the ground partly because they don’t have the money to support it,” Kengor said.
“Interestingly too, Bruno Bauer was intensely anti-semitic.” Which is odd, as Marx would be perceived as “Jewish.” Consequentially, “Marx ends up with some very anti-semitic statements. He said the ‘Israelite faith is repulsive to me’. And he has this one statement where he talks about ‘in the end the final emancipation, the emancipation of the’ it sounds like something Hitler could have said. I mean some really disturbing statements.”
Kengor was quoting Marx’s early work, ‘On the Jewish Question’. In his theory of emancipation, Marx distinguished between political emancipation and human emancipation and involves a transition from political emancipation to human emancipation. Although he claimed support for Jewish emancipation, he described Judaism as a “general anti-social element of the present time” and suggested that “the emancipation of the Jews, in the final analysis, is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.”

Was Marx a satanist? There are strong indications that he could have been, although Kengor doesn’t go as far as calling him that, preferring to refer to him as an “atheist.”
Two of Marx’s biographers noted that Marx and Bauer used to mock Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem by riding into a local village on Palm Sunday on donkeys.
“The devil hates to be mocked, but the devil mocks Christ, the devil mocks God,” Kengor pointed out. “And in Marx’s case, they’re imitating or mocking Christ entering Jerusalem. They would go into churches together, he and Bruno Bauer, and laugh and kind of make noise in the pew just to be disrespectful. So [Marx is] an angry – and throughout his life, no one liked him.
“He got along with his wife, his family tolerated him, some biographers say he had a great relationship with his daughters [and] others that he didn’t, but all the different people who worked with him described him in this dictatorial kind of way and he eventually split with everybody … [It] would get to the point where Marx is calling [them] an ape or a baboon and they’re saying, ‘oh this is Marx’s typical filth and vitriol and bile, this is what he does to everybody’. So, he eventually got to that point with just about everybody.”
Citing another example, Kengor noted “a chilling play” Marx wrote called ‘Oulanem’. If you conduct a search on the internet for this play and click the images tab, “you will see, there’s some satanic stuff up there from like, not heavy metal but like, black metal groups. So Oulanem is an anagram for Emanuel or Manuelo. So, Marx takes Emmanuel, which is the name given to Christ, or Manuelo and he flips it into this anagram called ‘Oulanem’, and it’s this chilling play; the main character is Lucindo, and you just can’t believe what you’re reading with this play.”
Marx wrote this play in the 1840s, at the prime of his writing and in the same decade he wrote his demonic poems and ‘The Communist Manifesto’.
