What did he mean by this??

I don't see that at all. What I see is sarcasm on Marx's part.

What makes you believe Judaism doesn't hold the same revolutionary sparks as, say, Christianity?

Definitely didn't get the sarcasm the first time around, but I skimmed it again and can see this. So he's taking the negative stereotype of the Jew and saying this metaphorically applies to the nature of capitalism, right? He's not saying there is any truth to the stereotype.

I tend to believe that religions have liberatory and oppressive elements, but mostly oppressive. In my view we are better off without religion, but it is not sufficient to be free of religion. Having drastically different metaphysical viewpoints is not good for solidarity, since it creates a barrier between people. So naturally we should all become atheists, because that is the correct position.

And this is where most socialism goes wrong. You don't have the right to tell the people what to believe, they should think for themselves. Religion should be fully allowed, just as long as its beliefs do not specifically promote capitalism or what-have-you.

(And that man was Albert Einstein. Really makes you think. )

It goes a bit deeper than that.(I'm range banning, I hope you come to realize your infographics come at a cost.)

Marx was anti-semitic. He disagreed with the supremacist views of the jews. Want to hear my conspiracy as to why people say socialism is jewish? Because those same people are jews, and they want Holla Forums types to stop being class aware. Prove me wrong.(idpol)

Not saying it shouldn't be allowed. I'm saying that becoming non-religious is more conducive to the goal of achieving socialism. "Everybody believe whatever they want" assumes that your most fundamental beliefs about the nature of reality have no effect on those around you, its an autistic assumption. The truth is that religious beliefs or lack thereof structure our experience and make it difficult to be on the same page with those who have very different beliefs - it is a hindrance to solidarity at best, and a cause of bitter conflict at worst.

That said I don't place atheism extremely high on the list of priorities, since the fact remains that I have more solidarity with a Jewish or Christian or Muslim socialist than with an atheist reactionary.

Reminder to everyone not to reply to this samefagging attention whore. They're not genuine.
