Marx frequently used the n-word and attacked fellow socialist Ferdinand Lasalle as a "Jew-n*****" and a "peculiar hybrid" of "German-Jewish and basic negroid stock" based on "the shape of his head" So Marx is a bad example to use, although possibly worth bringing up anywayhttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1232416230520180736 …

Wasn't it common in Europe at the time for people to use the n-word for other European groups they believed to be lesser than their group? It, of course, does not excuse Marx. It also made it easier to dehumanize people and pave the way for the mass killings of the 20th Century.
