Fun Fact:
Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto was actually a recitation of ideas first put forth by Adam Weishaupt of the Bavarian "Illuminated" secret society.
This is the *actual* Bavarian Illuminati group that would later become the incorrect catchall for all secret societies.
Karl Marx was also apparently Luciferian and Satanist adjacent. His close friend Bakunin being the most vocal.
Marx's early writings, poems, and stories frequently used occult references.
The more of Marx you read (I'd only really read Engles), the more you see of these quasi-megalomaniacal themes. "conquering the world", "sitting above everyone", etc. (Admittedly, it could just be rantings of an angsty 20-something. It reads like Tumblr posts frankly.)
From here this begins to dovetail with Carol Quigley's "Anglo-American Establishment", F.A. Hayek, and the Milner-Fabian Conspiracy. but I'll end it here.
Bibliography:
Aside from the clearly cited stuff above, also these:
- Walter Williams' review of "The Devil and Karl Marx"
- Wurmbach's "Marx & Satan" (not well written IMHO but predates above book)
- Monica Perez's F.A. Hayek podcast episode
