Summary
Two decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism, nearly everyone is or at least should be aware of the immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatched when Karl Marx penned his Communist Manifesto two centuries ago. Far too many people, however, separate Marx the man from the evils wrought by the oppressive ideology and theory that bears his name. That is a grave mistake. Not only did the horrific results of Marxism follow directly from Marx’s twisted ideas, but the man himself penned some downright devilish things. Well before Karl Marx was writing about the hell of communism, he was writing about hell.
“Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well,” he wrote in a poem in 1837, a decade before his Manifesto. “My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell.” That certainly seemed to be the perverse destiny for Marx’s ideology, which consigned to death over 100 million souls in the 20th century alone.
No other theory in all of history has led to the deaths of so many innocents. How could the Father of Lies not be involved?
At long last, here, in this book by Professor Paul Kengor, is a close, careful look at the diabolical side of Karl Marx, a side of a man whose fascination with the devil and his domain would echo into the 20th century and continue to wreak havoc today. It is a tragic portrait of a man and an ideology, a chilling retrospective on an evil that should have never been let out of its pit.

Interesting and Informative
Enjoyed this very much. My only gripe was that the voices where a little 'over-acted' at times. Marx was and remains a hugely divisive character whom In my view should not be admired in the slightest. This book should provide a great insight into his true motives and character. The author does well to distance himself from bias by making sure he points out the difference between evidenced facts, rumours or hear-say, which was important in a book covering the subject of Marx. The book is very well researched and really opens up the readers to the dangers presented by modern cultural marxism and the reach of its ever growing tentacles.

Pure pleasure, or horror, depending on your views
"The Devil and Karl Marx" is a thoroughly researched and cleverly presented work covering the lives of Marx and his most influential followers in the United States and elsewhere, all the way to the recent past. The narration is superb. This piece will bring unadulterated delight to Marx's followers and sympathisers while working as a stark, perhaps belated, warning to everyone else. A must read for the politically curious, practitioners and academics alike.

Not for the faint hearted but necessary for every Christian
Very well researched! Some chapters were difficult to hear but necessary. Thank you for adding a spiritual dimension to the woke movement.

My God, I had no idea!
I expect that most dyed-in-the-wool Marxists will find what is written here perfectly acceptable. If you have taken the oath and accepted the Marxist agenda, the idea that this comes from the Devil is laughable. After all, Marx himself was an atheist and so too are most of his supporters and this implies that the Devil too is a figurative abstraction and not a real personage.
That said if, like me, you have never really studied Marx and certainly have no knowledge of his biography, then this book will be deeply shocking. First and foremost it reveals what an odious person he really was. A financial parasite on first his parents (who he effectively bled dry) and then on his family and friends, he was disgusting in every way. He never seems to have had a job, hardly ever washed, was covered in boils, stank and drank. He would get into blind rages and was horrible to his wife and kids. Little wonder that two of his daughters attempted suicide, with one of them succeeding.
At one time a Christian (his father was a converted Jew) he abandoned the faith. However he retained a fascination with the Devil, writing plays and poems about him and even at times seeming possessed by demons.
All this is spelled out in graphic detail by the author with full attribution to quotes. Frankly, I found it horrifying to think that the paranoid ramblings of this misanthrope and Luciferian should be one of the dominating philosophies of the world today. Sadly, if, with the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the ending of the Soviet Union, we thought we had seen the back of his horrible creed we were deluded. It seems that Marx is still in vogue on campuses throughout America and the West. It does not bode well for the future.

like a horror in one's ear
The hymes to Satan Karl Marx wrote you would think early teen scribbling nonsense. Most biographers rush past the fact Marx was almost a man when he wrote those odd premonitions of the 20th Century. Indeed, I was expecting the title to be a design for sensationalism so I would click. little did I know that Satan was whispering in the ear Karl Marx!

Such stupidity
Not read this book but clearly laughable judging by the title. How could an atheist be a devil worshipper?
