Let us consider the actual, worldly Jew -- not the Sabbath Jew, as Bauer does, but the everyday Jew. Let us not look for the secret of the Jew in his religion, but let us look for the secret of his religion in the real Jew. What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money. Very well then! Emancipation from huckstering and money, consequently from practical, real Jewry, would be the self-emancipation of our time.... We recognize in Jewry, therefore, a general present-time-oriented anti-social element, an element which through historical development -- to which in this harmful respect the Jews have zealously contributed -- has been brought to its present high level, at which it must necessarily dissolve itself. In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Jewry".

Writing of Marx's son-in-law who was a candidate for a Paris council seat that contained a zoo and which he had previously called a 'nigger' as he reckoned him to be part black:

“Being in his quality as a nigger, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district.”

Interestingly, this stuff from Marx particularly is probably the most 'right-wing' thing I've ever seen on our war with Mexico from a noted historical figure. More than Emerson and certainly Lincoln or U.S. Grant. And this from a radical left intellectual. It comes off almost Nietzschean-heroic and Sorelian-fascist in its glorification of violence. Sorel, a leftist himself being an influence on fascism indicates how little the labels 'left' and 'right' can mean. When we've reached the point where Karl Marx of all people could plausibly be appropriated as an alt-right thinker it's some kind of watershed I think.
