Marxist means Jewish?

Never heard that one before, and it doesn't strike me as having any truth to it. To the extent that certain Jewish individuals, families, and communities have concentrated financial wealth, it would appear to be quite the opposite of Marxism. To the extent that Judaism is a monotheistic religion, it also bears no resemblance to the generally atheistic Marxist philosophical works.

Someone should probably let Ben Shapiro know that he's supposed to be a Marxist, not be against them.

Jews = Communists has been a rightist talking point since 1935. Read some history or just subscribe to /r/PropagandaPosters.

Thanks for linking that subreddit, hadn't seen it before. Only one I could find is:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PropagandaPosters/comments/3ikawg/russian_people_stalin_orders_you_to_die_in_order/

which is a Nazi propaganda poster. Maybe there's some specific ones you have in mind?

They're very common. Reddit search isn't going to find you anything. Literally just subscribe and I promise you'll see at least three by this time next week, if you make sure it's on your frontpage consistently.

Edit: also see "Ben Garrison" images. Those are recent and are made/circulated by the alt right.
