1.0 out of 5 stars How do you translate An der Juden Frage as World without Jews?, March 14, 2011

By

This review is from: A World Without Jews (Paperback)

The translator of World without Jews invented the title. Marx's real title is An Der Juden Frage, obviously to be translated by anyone who has the least knowledge of Germs as On the Jewish Question. The fraudulence of the title strongly suggests the fraudulence of the translation and the introduction by Dagobert Runes.

In On the Jewish Question, alias World without Jews, Marx argues that granting civil rights to Jews does not require their giving up Judaism. However he also argues that the basis for Judaism is huckstering, thus revealing his ignorance of Judaism even though his mother and father were Jews and one of his grandfathers was the chief Rabbi of Cologne. However depicting Jews as creators of capitalism is not the same as advocating the creation of a world without Jews.
