To really read Marx, you need to look at his history, and the climate in which he was writing.
He first paper was entitled "On the Jewish Question"; an antisemitic rant.
At the time Jews were stereotyped as rich money grubbing business owners.
Marx suggested in the paper that Jews will never be able to assimilate because greed is part of their religion.
This is the beginning of socialism. An antisemitic young writer bitching about what he perceived to be rich greedy jews.
Its not really surprising that he tried to come up with a system to strip the rich greedy jews of all of their assets.
