You should probably read Karls works and his successors works like:

- The Motorcycle Diaries

- The Jewish Question

- Das Kapital

These were written within ideological contexts and contain things that we would consider hate speech today. Very much perpetuating ideas like:

- lazy Mexcians

- Jewish world conspiracy

- Black people (he would call them the n-word) being closer to the "animal kingdom" than man.

And they did all of these in ideological constructs.

The difference is that Marx was racist in addressing the racism of his time, but he proposed that communism would be the solution. This solution is different from the Final Solution in that communism would remove the elements he was racist against through economic pressure as opposed to ghettoization and genocide.

For the Jewish Question, he shared some antisemitic views towards Judaism with his peers. The difference is that he advocated for their incorporation into society as opposed to being second class citizens. He believed that the transition from capitalism into communism would reform Judaism away from what they were antisemitic about.
