“Neville, Marx was less than a secular Jew. He was baptized as a child and became a rabid antisemite (see Karl Marx on the Jewish Question).”

You’re 100% right, but he still gets mentioned as a “self-loathing Jew” a lot. I’m not sure he was ever halachically Jewish. I’m not sure if you understood my point if you thought we disagreed (it’s hard to understand the tone of writing sometimes). I’m glad you brought up conservative examples. My point was that, even though you can find examples of influential, leftist Jews, there’s no benefit to bringing it up as a Jewish attack on Christian values unless you’re an anti-semite.

On a side note, I did not know Ayn Rand was Jewish. I don’t know that I would call her “right-wing.” The tendency of associating libertarianism with conservatism is pretty new, and not a trend I particularly appreciate as a traditional, social-conservative.
